How to fold socks: 5 quick and convenient ways

Method 1. Inside out

Everything is very simple and fast. Fold the socks together and then turn the top inside out. The bottom toe will be inside, and the pair will definitely not be lost.

Method 2. Compact

The technique is similar to the previous one, only the cuffs of the top toe need to be folded, and the pair must be rolled very tightly. When you get to the end, turn the bottom toe cuffs inside out too.

It turns out a compact lump. This method is great for packing your suitcase for a trip.

Method 3. KonMari

"KonMari" is a cleaning method invented by Japanese woman Marie Kondo. She outlined its principles in the book "Magic Cleaning".

One of them is not to twist the rolls of clothes and not to create them in piles, but to neatly fold things in three points and put them sideways. Thus, even in a small box, you can fit a lot of socks, tights and other underwear, and then you can easily get it all out.

Method 4. Criss-cross

Lay your socks in a criss-cross pattern - heel to heel. Tuck the foot of the bottom toe under the heel of the top. Then fold the cuffs and fold the second sock in the same way. Hide the peeking cuffs inward.

You should get a neat square that does not take up much space in the closet. This method is good for storing socks with drawings: you can immediately see what kind of pair is in the drawer.

Method 5. For the lazy

To save yourself the hassle of folding socks, always buy the same brand, size, shape, and color. First, like Mark Zuckerberg with T-shirts, you have no choice problem. Secondly, you can grab from the box and put on the first two socks that come across.

But be prepared for the fact that every few months the sock wardrobe will have to be updated. Even identical socks begin to differ after two or three months: some stretch out, others fade, and still others rub.
