Thank you very much for that helpful tutorial. I've knitted 3 pairs of socks so far but only on 9inch circular needles. I really want to use magic loop, but it has always looked very complicated.
Hi Jana. I'd tried several times and completely given up on magic loop because of the mess left when changing needles. I'd even bought myself an expensive set of ChiaoGoo needles for fingerings weight sock knitting using magic loop but had to go back to DPNs. I've just cast on a pair of bulky winter socks and knit 10 rounds using your instructions and......would you believe they are perfect!!! It's the tug on the second stitch which was the secret. You're amazing!! Can't thank you enough X
@@PurlTogether will do. I deleted FB again for being FB but will post in the Ravelry group. Just went back to my Festive socks and knit 2 rounds using magic loop - because I can! 80 stitches on 4 2mm needles was a drain on motivation. Thanks again
I tried dpn's and just couldn't get it. I learned to magic loop from one of your other videos and now I have 1.5 sock cuffs done. When I get the 2nd sock cuffs done I will work on both socks at the same time (separate needles though) to try to get them to match. *Side note: I finished my first big project (harvest cardigan by tin can knits) by watching your videos!) Thanks for sharing your talent! 🤗
You were recommended to me by a friend, I’m a new knitter, I can use dpns ok, but I really wanted the ability to use the magic loop (less hassle, cheaper, etc) plus I want to do two at a time socks... and less hassle for hats etc. I’m saving this. Thanks.
Jana, thanx for all of your hard work on the videos! Would you do one on magic loop for the knitted fingerless gloves.? I just watched that video, it took me here! Thanx Tessa~
@@PurlTogether yes I've done magic loop for the toe up socks which I have not finished!(Yes I am a serial starter) I can't wrap my head around the wrist being closed!!! LOL Tessa
Purl Together Lol! I’m purging and packing because I want to sell my house. So, down times are being used to finish the UFO’s. It’s been kind of fun because I forgot about some of them!
Wonderful tutorial. I love magic looping my socks. I’ve used magic loop for hats also but there is a technique that I struggle with. Have you seen or knit a hat using a needle that is longer than 16”? I’ve seen people knit hats on larger needles but they only have one loop. I think they called It something like a continuous loop or moving loop? That way you’re never doing the magic loop shuffle. I’ve tried a few times but I could never get the hang of It.
Hi Jana This is my first time knitting a pair of socks I’ve been using your videos on magic loop to help me and I find them so useful. This is probably a silly question but how do you know when both sides are even with stitches before you start another row with a different stitch? Thank you for your help and videos.

Well, I’m working on socks, and doing one at a time bc I just haven’t ventured into “2 at a time” land yet! Lol!!! So I’ll definitely try the magic loop... thanks!
It seems so easy, yet no matter what I do, my stitches always get twisted on the 1st row, even if it's a sock, I know it's so simple 😥😞Great tutorial though 😊💞

I’m looking forward to trying this on my next pair of socks. Thanks Jana, you’re a natural teacher 👍🏻

Oh I'm so glad! Feel free to show us a picture in the group. Well done!

I've just reinstalled FB again. Missed the group too much. Necessary evil and all that

So you’ve seen the Hedgerow mitts videos? The magic loop technique is the same. Am I understanding your question?
@@PurlTogether yes I've done magic loop for the toe up socks which I have not finished!(Yes I am a serial starter) I can't wrap my head around the wrist being closed!!! LOL Tessa
@@tessa71465 Now I am confused. What do you mean by the "wrist being closed?" It's a tube basically, just like the sock
@@PurlTogether I use it for toe up so all I can see is it being closed! Thanx Tessa
Thank you! Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
OmyGOSH .. I finally get it! Thxx
Thanks, great tutorial. I think I get it now!! Lol! I’ll have to try this - after I finish up all my UFO’s!
Finish up UFOs? Is there such a thing? I don't think I've ever attained such a loftly goal.

Yes, it's basically just using half a magic loop at the beginning of the round. Thanks for watching!

I know which end is the beginning of the round. You might find it helpful to designate that with a locking stitch marker.
I will try it. Thanks 😊
I want to do the magic sock tutorial
Here is a link to the playlist! ruclips.net/p/PLNWbWGGFfxXlMovegqEV5u5b9IQHa9K5F
I don’t have any 40” but I do have 32”... will they work for magic loop as well?
They will, depending upon the project and the number of stitches you've cast on. You just want the cable to be relaxed.

Do you mean that each individual stitch is twisted? or that the cast on is twisted when it's joined in the round?
