Fold Your Socks in Five Different Ways

Introduction To Fold Your Socks

Socks are an essential component of any clothing. They go with a variety of outfits, from casual to business to more dressy. For many people, though, missing or misplacing a sock is an issue. Unfortunately, if socks are dumped into a pile or stuffed into a sock drawer without being sorted and folded, the chances of finding two matching socks increase. That is why it is critical to fold your socks and keep them together. While you probably have a favourite way to fold your socks, here are five other options

This method is ideal for persons in a hurry or who have a large number of socks to fold. You can fold a lot of socks in a minute. Plus, even when you, your husband, or your children are rummaging around for the right pair of socks, your socks tend to stay together well. Some people complain that it stretches out the tops of their socks, but I’ve never experienced this

Military-style clothing

If you’re looking for a space-saving solution, try folding your socks military style. Place both socks, one on top of the other, on a flat surface. Any wrinkles in the socks should be smoothed out. Then, beginning at the toe, tightly roll the socks together. Grab the inside of the outer sock with one hand and hold it down once the socks are entirely rolled. Pull the outside edge of the outer sock around the socks with the other hand. If any pieces of the socks protrude from the sock ball, tuck them in.

Long socks are best for the military method. If you tried it with no-show or ankle socks, or if you tried it with baby or toddler socks, your socks would probably not stick together very well

The Method of the Square Socks

This strategy is excellent for keeping your drawer orderly and for quickly locating the colours you require

• Place one sock, heel up, on a flat surface.
• Make a cross with the matching sock and the first sock, both with the heal up.
• Flip the toes of the bottom socks up and over the form, tucking them in on the other side.
• Fold the cuff of the bottom socks over.
• Fold the other sock in the same manner. Make a square with two sock cuffs poking out of it.
• Tuck the first cuff into the pocket by folding it over

The Method of Rolling Socks

Although this approach is rapid, the socks do not stay together as well as other procedures. However, it prevents your sock cuffs from stretching out

• Place both socks, one on top of the other, on a flat surface.
• From the toes up, roll the socks

The Tuck and Flip Technique

This solution will not make your sock drawer as organised as others, but it will keep the pairs together quickly

• Place both socks, one on top of the other, on a flat surface.
• Take one of the cuffs and turn it inside out, tucking both socks halfway inside the cuff. Outside of the tuck, the toes should be dangling

The Konmari technique

The KonMari Method is a method for decluttering your home. This minimalist-inspired way to straighten up a sock drawer, popularised by none other than pro organiser Marie Kondo herself, is fast, easy, and elegant. This method is one of our favourites because it’s simple and shows off our favourite wild socks in all their zany splendour

• To begin, place one sock on top of the other.
• Thirds for ankle socks, fourths for mid-length socks, or fifths for long socks for knee-high socks.
• Fold the paper along the imaginary lines you drew, as if it were a letter.
• Place the sock upright in your drawer. This creates a boutique atmosphere in your sock drawer
