Hartelijk dank voor je sokken breilessen! Ben nu bezig met teen eerst - die vanaf de boord heb ik al via jouw kanaal geleerd. Groet vanuit Nederland. 🇱🇺
Thank you so much for all your hard work in creating these tutorials. They are SO helpful and I am super excited to think that my knit socks will now actually properly fit after all this work! :) Thank you!
So glad I found you and your toe up videos. I'm now on the foot of my first socks and enjoying every minute of it. I wanted to learn toe up so I can use as much yarn as possible on the leg and eliminate a lot of leftovers. I'm doing two at a time on 9" circulars and did the toe on dpns. I struggled with the second toe for some reason, but finally prevailed. I do like the rounded toe as well. Thanks so much for helping a visual left handed person knitting in a right handed world learner.
I cant believe it took me so long to subscribed to your videos, i did my first pair of toe up socks but did not like the pattern in particular on the heel. Now i am going to do yours because it makes so much more sense. Thank you. I listened to video part 1. 1.5 and 2. And going to start my sock then catch up later. I love the pattern k6P2 since my yarn is camouflage its going to look great.
Love your older toe-up socks tutorial. It is my go-to for socks. I have learned how many stitches to use and how long to make them before the heel flap. I love how you do the heel flap on the sole and then continue the knit-slip pattern up the back of the heel. I used to really struggle with toe-up because of the heel flap and gusset. I also follow The Crazy Sock Lady podcasts and she is doing a Summer Sock Camp in June,July, and August that I am doing. I probably would not have done it without your toe-up tutorial. Always look forward to your posts.
I appreciate your tutorials. While I have knit lots of socks, there is always something new to learn. I am also a Summer Sock Camp participant-next pair will be Toe Up. Happy Knitting😃
Thank you for tutorial. Just made my first set of cuff down socks. Now doing the pattern and toe up. I love it. Thank you for patterns and info you include.
I have knit many many socks, scarves, mittens, what have you. Never did I think (duh) of putting a purl stitch at the beginning and end of the working space, if I was to have a 2 stitch purl at the end, essentially out of nowhere. Thank you!
Hi Jana! You know I love your videos and all your tips are fantastic! I’ve really learned a lot from you! I was wondering if you had or could recommend a favorite argyle sock pattern…I’d love to make some for my brother-in-law and my nephews! Thanks so much! Have a great day!
Love your tutorials for all the tips and tricks. Love the stripes in Urth Uneek but Since the cakes yield a very long sock, I think I will cast on a different self striping yarn. Curious to see if you knit the full length.
So now I'm doing the foot. . Using 80 stitches on Pomes Sock- 100g- 459 yards - 75*%wool-25%acrilic yarn. Color969 cabin fever. Now I know that patterns and striping colors keep the interest. Mind numbing repetition created by : same stitch, same color, same weight yarn was killing my enthusiasm. Thanks for the encouragement by example.
Jana!! Love everything about your channel!! You take the stress right out of learning new ways of knitting. I do have a question…do toe up fit differently than the toes for cuff down? Wide and shorter?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "rotate?" I'm knitting using the magic loop technique, so I'm turning my work after knitting across the top of the foot and then again after I knit across the sole stitches.
Hallo can you tell me the mixture with the wool that’s not good,was it polyamide?iread it but can’t remember the combinations I know wool plus some thing that deals with sweat?I hope you can help thank you teresa
Thank you for this series. I found you while searching for info about doing a toe up sock with heel flap and gusset, and I've subscribed based on looking at your video list. Question (if you have time to answer): you were mentioning how long to make the foot. Is negative ease not a consideration? I know it is for sock width, but wasn't sure if it's a factor for sock foot length before starting the heel. Thanks again 😊
I don't normally consider any negative ease for the length of the sock because I don't want to pull the heel towards my toe. I prefer to knit it to the exact length of my foot. Thanks for being a new subscriber!
You'll need to choose what works for you regarding how to pick up those "legs" in the rows below. I'd also suggest asking your question in the Facebook group. There may be left-handed knitters there that would have some tips for you.
Always enjoy your Tutorials. I decided to knit these two at a time on Magic Loop, first time ever doing Turkish cast on and two at a time. I hope I get through it. QQ when doing the turkish co, you knitted the toe using the front needle. You're done with the toe and increases, ready to knit the leg and I think I noticed you pulled the back needle to knit the front as in regular magic loop knitting. Did I get this right? Also for a 64 st will it be P2, K3. Thank you so much!
Yes, regular magic looping. 64 sts is a multiple of 8, or 4, so you can do a couple of different things. For larger rib and multiple of 8 sts, you'd have: p1, k6, (p2, k6) x 3, p1 across the instep. Or is you want a multiple of 4 you'd have: p1, k2, (p2, k2) x 7, p1 Hope that helps!
Hi Janna I have 32 stitches and I end up with pearl three I am doing the rib you are knitting how should I do it can you tell me how to do it. Thank you. Kathy I hope to hear from you. Soon.
I'm using 36 sts on each half, so my pattern works because it's a multiple of 6. (k4, p2). If you have 32 sts, you'll have to adjust for that using a multiple of 8 or 4 sts. So you could begin you pattern like this: p1, k6, *p2, k6* repeat between the asterisks, end with p1. or you can knit a 2x2 rib alternating with a plain knit round.
HO MY NAME IS JANICE I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. I HAVE JOINED . I NEVER USED FINGERING WEIGHT. AFTER IBOUGHT FINGERING WEIGHT I HAD TO USE TWO STRANDS TO DO MY SOCKS. IT WAS NOT EASY, BUT I FINISGED AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER LOVES THEM. COULD I USE DK WEIGHT WITH A WOOL BLEND. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi Janice, I will copy and paste my answer here. I did reply to your question when you sent me a message through the Patreon system. You can certainly knit thicker socks using DK weight sock yarn that has some nylon content. Lauren, the indie dyer at A Girl and Her Wool has some fantastic DK weight sock yarn. agirlandherwool.com/product-category/ready-to-ship/ready-to-ship-dk You might also consider some Regia 6-ply sock yarn such as this: littleknits.com/yarn.html?cat=3426
Still waiting for my yarn from Utah. Question: I have issues with the ball of my foot, so could I do the slip one stitch/knit one to make the ball area a little more cushioned? Or is there another stitch pattern for a little thickness? Thanks for all your wonderful videos and your Facebook patreon page🤗
I have a question about the cuff. I love doing toe up socks, until I get to the cuff. The cuffs are always too loose. I knit my socks on 2.5mm needles, and the cuff on 2mm needles. But the top is always loose.
You can adjust the stitch count so that it works for your numbers. For example, you could use a repeat of 8 sts: p2, k6. then you'd have 32 sts. with 1 extra knit stitch on each end. Or, you could go head with the p2, k4, ending the pattern with a p2, then just have 1 extra knit stitch on each end of the needle. Do what works for you!
Let's say that I wanted to buy the yarn you bought, but I wanted to take one skein from the center, one from the outer-edge, but alternate it on one sock ... so a row of center-pull, and then a row of out-edge, and back to a row of center-pull. I hope I'm explaining that right. Anyway, I've not done it yet, but just mulling it over. Would you, if you were going to do it, would you alternate the yarn right up the center back, or would you do it up a side??? Or would you not do it at all because of the ridge it will make when you wind up the next yarn???
I don't think I would do that because, as you mentioned, you'd have that little ridge where you're twisting and alternating. I wonder if that might be irritating on the foot portion of the sock?

Best sock knitting instructional
video. Greetings from Australia.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for all your hard work in creating these tutorials. They are SO helpful and I am super excited to think that my knit socks will now actually properly fit after all this work! :) Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for explaining the pattern subtility ending the top part vs the sole, it makes a lovely line on both sides.

Thanks!
Appreciate these tutorials thank you so much. My next sock cast on is going to be these !
Thank you, blessings 🕊💚
Thank you for clear precise instructions.

Cool. Thank you.
Great pattern! I’m going to customize it for 64 stitches (32 & 32). Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!

Poems sock.
Love this!!
Jana!! Love everything about your channel!! You take the stress right out of learning new ways of knitting. I do have a question…do toe up fit differently than the toes for cuff down? Wide and shorter?
I don't think they fit any different since the parts of the sock are knitted the same way. Thanks for watching!
Love your video! I just finished the rounded toe, last round was an increase, do I knit one round before starting the pattern round? Thanks!
Sure, it wouldn't hurt. Just remember to write down what you do, so you remember for the second sock.
Спасибо, большое!
do you rotate the needle thrughout the entire sock or stop once you complete the increasing
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "rotate?" I'm knitting using the magic loop technique, so I'm turning my work after knitting across the top of the foot and then again after I knit across the sole stitches.

Any suggestions for the left and right leans for a left-handed knitter?
You'll need to choose what works for you regarding how to pick up those "legs" in the rows below. I'd also suggest asking your question in the Facebook group. There may be left-handed knitters there that would have some tips for you.
Would you ever do this pattern with two at a time sock?
Sure! It's not my first preference, but you could certainly do it.

@@PurlTogether definitely helps. Thank you for responding. I realized later that I should have posted on Ravelry :-(.

Can I use this this for using DK yarn.
Sure! Just adjust the numbers to allow for the difference in gauge
I've really wanted to learn knitting better. thanks for your sock tutorials. guess the pattern you used isnt available for print. :(
It is! You can get the free pdf here on my website:
purltogether.com/patterns/
The negative ease , how much is best ?
I prefer 5-10%

Or is there another stitch pattern for a little thickness? Thanks for all your wonderful videos and your Facebook patreon page🤗
You can! Just be aware that the slip stitch pattern will take more yarn, so you'll want to make sure you have enough.
I have a question about the cuff. I love doing toe up socks, until I get to the cuff. The cuffs are always too loose. I knit my socks on 2.5mm needles, and the cuff on 2mm needles. But the top is always loose.
I’ll address the bind off when we get there. Thanks for watching
I have 34 sts on each needle (68 sts). I am having a challenge getting purl 2, knit 4 to work so it will be right when I get to the leg. HELP!
You can adjust the stitch count so that it works for your numbers. For example, you could use a repeat of 8 sts: p2, k6. then you'd have 32 sts. with 1 extra knit stitch on each end.
Or, you could go head with the p2, k4, ending the pattern with a p2, then just have 1 extra knit stitch on each end of the needle.
Do what works for you!
