6 Ways to Fold Socks

Adulthood sneaks up on you. In one moment you're young and hip and suddenly you're watching socks folding tutorial.

I don’t know why I am up watching socks folding tutorials at age 15 but yet I’m enjoying it

The last one is the one that my parents have always done, but I like space saving, so I go with the roll method and the square method. If you wear ankle socks like I do, I recommend the roll method.

In case anyone is looking at ways to fold socks for the same purpose that I am, the folds that survived retrieves from my service dog best were the square method and the military method. She was able to bring me both socks in one retrieve and they were easier for her to carry.

I used the first method to pack a gift of socks for someone and the presentation made them look really lovely. Thank you for sharing!

So I just learned to fold socks AND a fitted sheet, This shelter in place needs to end! (I went with sock fold #5)

I’ve been doing number 6 my whole life, i didn’t even know there were other methods. Instead of halfway, I do it about 3/4

everyone is talking about adulthood but i’m 19 watching these 😭

okayyyyy... anyone waiting for the smaller socks?

The square and the roll we're really the ones I have been really adapting to lately. Thanks for the tutorial, really helps my cabinet filled with socks stay organized ❤️

In Belgium most people use a variation on the last method: lay the 2 socks on eachother, fold them together in half from the heel point. After, flip one whole sock with the other one inside it inside out. It's a pretty flat rectangle. And it's super fast.

I've always done the last one but, take it down till no toes are dangling out...

I have been using no 2. But now, I like no 5 the most. The pair doesn't separate and it's easy. Thanks

Thanks, the first one I really like it.

I like the square fold method. Awesome! Thx for sharing & at a pace that can be followed!!!

The Military method is great for traveling. Thanks for these wonderful methods on how to save space and to stay organized.

Best for last. This works enough for me as I keep my sock drawer and dresser in my closet. I just need to be able to open the drawer and grab a matched pair of socks

I use the last method as it's the quickest. I think I am "get over with that work" kind of a person.

I came up with the "fold & tuck method" (#5) on my own, except I fold the top sock in 3rds, then fold the bottom sock's cuff over the top sock & tuck the bottom sock's toes into the cuff (like in the video). It's a little easier to tuck one toe instead of both.
I like a neat square (or square-ish) shape, so for longer socks like the ones in the video or longer, I just fold the top sock into a square, & place it closer to the cuff of the sock underneath (but leave enough room so the cuff can fold up on top, like in the video). Then for bottom sock's toe, just fold the toe end over itself before tucking into the cuff. For longer socks, I fold the bottom sock's toe all the way underneath the top sock, then tuck the toe end's now-folded side into the cuff. (And for super-long socks I fold it all the way underneath the top sock, then fold it in half before tucking into the cuff.)
I like how they stack neatly in the drawer & I can group similar socks in the same stack, so it's easy to find the ones I want. They also don't fall apart when moved around, so it's great for packing a bag for a trip.

Very creative and useful methods ❤ thanks 🙏

Your video is also very useful. It helped me a lot. I bought 20 smaconsum before. They bought a few more. They were still worried about not having a place to put them

Fold and tuck gang where you at?

No. 6 is the one I've always done. I shall try some of the other methods for a change. Thank you for great ideas.

It's the last one for me 😁 Like the yellow socks 💛 Thank you for the lessons.

I love the Not stretching the cuff!

When my 4 sons were young I bought a lot of diaper pins for them to pin the toes of socks together. When they and my husband take them off they keep the pin to put on when they put the socks in the dirty clothes. They didn't mind and I never had to match socks again. They are now grown and still pin the socks together to wash them.

Ooh I didn't know there were so many ways :0 I'm surprised the one I got taught wasn't even in there idk if that's a bad sign 😂 just one sock inside out, one normal; fold them in half on top of each other with the inside out one on the outside then invert it

omg, I loved this, thanks!

I like the 5th method. Its easy for me. TKS 4 sharing.

military method... i just loved
it

I do #5 the Fold and Tuck, it’s fast easy and aesthetically appealing and space saving. This method when compared to #1 square method, seems to be much faster with similar results. The 1# method had too many tucks and folds and took 1 minute for them to complete and #5 took 20 seconds. Of course, it’s slowed down for the presentation and at home it should take less time than that.

Square and Military worked best for me!

I find the 5th method is the best

My mom and my grandmother do folding the socks as a ball and it works thanks to my mom and my grandmother

number 5 is the best thank you very much

Ok is it just me or do you see how cute these socks are and I really want all of these cute socks!!!❤❤

First method is very good

Nice & clean explanation!! Thank you!

Love the military suggestion..!

Thanks, now I can save more space!!

Luv the Name " Goldie.. " fold #1 is for me.

¡Thank you very much! It is very functional and has served me perfectly.

This definitely helped me sort out my socks blunders

Thank you!! Good job.

Great ways, however I wish there were examples for short ankle athletic socks...

What a fabulous video! Love your sock collection too. ☺️

Awesome video, thank you

I like the fold and tuck method.

Gonna try 1 and 5 for drawer, been doing 6 all this time

Very helpful. Thank you!

Oh, I do the military roll. Interesting. Works well for short ankle socks

NMR 4 simple thanks you sou much 🥰👍

im starting socks little business this helped me, thank you!

Great socks! thanks for your video!

When none of these describes how you fold your socks 🤣

#5 love it - thx!

1. square 0:30 slow but pretty and recognizable
2. single-fold
3. roll
4. millitary 3:11 fast but ugly and NOT recognizable
5. fold and tuck 4:04 great for stacking and recognizable
6. flip and tuck 4:53 fast but a bit ugly and recognizable(favorite)

I single fold my socks and then I tuck it all into one cuf. done!!

Genius. (Cross method for me). 🙏 ❤

Thanks

Thank u so much

Thank you for the video. However my gf has this amazing method keeps them very tidy, like in a store, never causes a stretch in the cuffs and great space saver. I just filmed it but I don’t know how to post here though. Please inbox me if you want me to share it with you or something.

THANK YOU 🙏🏻

I was watching a playlist of the band Unlucky Morpheus and this was the last video

Thank you 🙏🏻

Wonderful

Thanks! I go for method number 5..

Nice for long socks, but best way for crew socks..

Thanks!!!! Me encantó!!

I never have a problem looking for matching socks, a problem I used to have. I solved the problem by getting any new socks in the same color and brand. I've finally reached the point that I have only all matching white or black socks. I simply stack them in two piles and pick up the top two on a stack when dressing.

i did all but just number 5 works and is easy

I liked number 4 the best

The 1st method is the best for me - thx

Thank you ... 🌹

Thank you!

3:00 And now let's see what happens when she lets go... Ah, no, OK, makes sense.

Nice one ❤❤❤❤

I like the first one

Glad there are people like me

Thanks for the video i learnt the best way to fold socks

Very awesome colors

The 5th one was more comfy in my pov

I don’t use my long socks much so they spend a lot of time stored and I’m wondering if it’ll stretch over time if I use the military method

Thank you.

I put my socks inside of each other. I saw it when I bought some socks at a store years ago

last one is goated

Thanks 🙏

I am really thankful

Good idea.............💕💕💕

This video has literally changed my life

Thank you very much

I use a sock divider - I roll my socks and place one or two pairs in each "square" of the divider. I also place my folded hose in the sock divider also. I really enjoyed your video. I always wondered what 'military fold' meant - now I know!!! Thank you for your video.

That just adds stretch to the cuff. I prefer the fold over method.

Done!!!

Thank you

What do you have for ankle, low cut and no show socks? 🤔

Nice i wanna try this

I use the #6 method but I tuck the toes into the tube after

Wonderful 😍😍

Many years ago I used to housesit for a friend. I thought I'd surprise her by doing a large load of laundry she and her family had left behind. When they got home from their trip, almost the first thing my friend did was to berate me for folding their socks using the "flip and tuck" (#6 method). She swore up and down that folding socks in such a manner would cause the ankles to be stretched out and ruined. Oh, dear. ---- Can't believe this is my life now: Me sitting here watching how to fold socks. Shoot me now.
