Do you have a drawer full of jumbled socks? Save time trying to find a matching pair by folding your socks in one of these simple ways. You'll not only be able to find the pair you want, but you'll also save space in your drawer!
The Square Method
This method is great for keeping your drawer organized, and it makes it easy to find the colors you need.
- Place one sock on a flat surface with the heel up.
- Place the matching sock across the first sock, also with the heel up, making a cross shape.
- Flip the bottom sock's toe up and over the shape, and tuck it in on the other side.
- Fold over the bottom sock's cuff.
- Then fold over the other sock the same way. You should now have a square with two sock cuffs sticking out.
- Grab the first cuff, fold it over, and tuck it into the pocket.
- Flip everything over, and tuck the remaining cuff in the other pocket.
The Single-Fold Method
This method is super easy and works great if you're in a hurry and want to stack your socks in your drawer.
- Lay both socks on a flat surface, with one sock on top of the other.
- Grab both socks by the cuff, and fold them both over in half so that the cuffs are now on top of the toes.
The Roll Method
This method is quick, but the socks don't stay together as well as in some other methods. It does, however, keep your sock cuffs from getting stretched out.
- Lay both socks on a flat surface, with one sock on top of the other.
- Roll the socks from the toes up.
The Military Method
You will end up with a tight roll that will stay together really well. This method is an excellent space saver.
- Lay both socks on a flat surface, with one sock on top of the other.
- Roll the socks tightly from the toes up.
- When you reach the top, pull the outer cuff back, over the top, and around the roll.
- Tuck in any parts that are sticking out.
The Fold and Tuck Method
Similar to the square method, this method is great for staying organized.
- Lay both socks on a flat surface, with one sock on top of the other and the heels facing up.
- Fold the cuff ends over, about halfway.
- Fold the toe ends over to meet the cuff ends, and tuck the toes into the top cuff.
The Flip and Tuck Method
This method will not make your sock drawer as organized as some of the others, but it is a quick way to keep the pairs together.
- Lay both socks on a flat surface, with one sock on top of the other.
- Grab one cuff and flip it inside out while tucking both socks about halfway into the cuff. The toes should be dangling outside of the tuck.
