Excellent video. You could not have explained it more clearly thank you
How sweet of you to say! Thank you for taking the time to leave me this comment! 😊🙏
YAY! I finished my socks! Thank you SO much for this video! Of course it ended up being easier than it looked. This time next week, the local newspaper will read: "California woman found unresponsive beneath sock avalanche. Family says she had a serious knitting addiction..." Thanks again Gina. I'm loving your channel and finished the dog sweater over the weekend! 😊
Cyndi Combs Yay! I am so happy! 😁 I am glad the video helped and I would LOVE to see your socks and dog sweater! 💕💐 Thank you for being part of my channel. Happy New Year! ⭐️
Not an addiction, it's good for us to knit--it's soothing and so much like meditation, I call it knittitation.
I love that!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I struggle, so hard with my learning disability, My great grandmother raised me and she would try to teach me crochet since I was four I gave up at nine I could do one chain and barely turn around and I could go no further. This loom is so helpful for me to understand But it’s still very complicated because I get my right and left mixed up and skip.
When I put your videos on, especially this one with the heel. I have been successful and I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I am 57 years old, and I have tried to make crochet slippers, since I was four. Thank you, is not enough. I have a child with ADHD and I appreciate your videos on ADHD. I just really appreciate your videos. Thank you so much you’ve done so much for me.
This is one of the sweetest messages I have ever received! Thank you so so much!!!! 💗💗💗😊It means a lot to me. I firmly believe that you are capable of doing anything and I will help any way I can. Thank you again!!! So so much!!!
Thank you for this video. My first attempt resulted in a hole on each side as I only hooked 3 loop overs, not 5 as described here. Please continue the great tutorials.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you and your kind words. I am glad the video was helpful! ❤️
FINALLY!! I can now make a perfect heel, you make it very easy with no hole at the sides. Here in Alberta we are suffering bone chilling temperatures (-40C) so going to be making lots of socks. Thank you so much!
Thea Sarumowa You made my day with your kind message!!! Please stay warm!! We are having a crazy winter. I am super glad you are here!! ❤️😁
It does seem bit difficult when you're starting the heel, but with your excellent step by step instructions, it's just simply decreasing 5 stitches side by side at each side of the heel. Thanks for the help. 👍💕👍🌺🌺
Catherine Fleming Thank YOU for watching! 💖 I appreciate your kind words more then you could imagine!
Thank you VERY MUCH! Omgosh I’ve been struggling for a very long time with doing the heal from another presenter who is new to looming like myself so to find your instructions is a blessing. 😘💕
Sobe Girl You’re very welcome! I hope it helps. ❤️💕😘 Thank you for being here and watching. I appreciate the support!
Ok this VIEDO is invaluable to me! I keep freaking out when I think I can’t find it again. Thank you❤❤❤
YOU are invaluable! I absolutely love that you can make slippers for your family and the tradition can keep going. 👏❤️🙏That warms my heart so much! Thank you for being here. God bless you and your family!
Thanks for this video, making the heel was the part I dreaded, so I never even tried until now, and I am finishing my first sock joyfully. Can’t wait to do the other one. Again Thanks!

Thank you👍
I hope it was helpful!! ❤️❤️Thanks for watching and being here!! 🤗
Thank you for this video! I have an 18 peg loom. It’s a little tricky cause I have to adjust your numbers to my loom so it’s still not perfect but at least with your tutorial I don’t have holes at the sides!!! Thanks again ☺️
I’m so glad the video was helpful! ♥️♥️
Ty, ty ,ty. I started a project first time loomimg and hoped I could find easy heel video. 🥰👍
Yay! I am so happy that you like the video! I hope it helps! ❤️😊
@@GinaLay super easy! I'm use to crochet and knit with needles as a beginner and nothing is as easier as this! Ty again😊
THANK You so much for this video you mad it so much easy to understand
Awhhh! I am so glad!!! Thank you for watching!! I appreciate your support. 😁
Thank you
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you very much for this clear video! I haven't found any in my language so it's a real lifesaver. I have one question though.. Can I use the same method for the heel explained in the video with a 32 pegs loom with an oval shape?
Lailaps Poitier Awh I am so glad!!! Yes you can. 🙂Thank you for being part of my channel! ❤️
Thank you very much for your reply! It's actually my mum attempting to knit the socks. She started off with the heel yesterday following your video but encountered a problem somewhere at the middle. Having a thinner wool she began the heel by e-wrapping 16 pegs of 32 with 3 lines of wool (she also started off the sock in general with 3 lines) and left 4 pegs free instead of the 3 shown in the video due to having more pegs on her loom.
However, when she got to the point of your video when you picked up 2 threads from a peg and put them over the loom she had trouble picking 3 and ended up with some holes she couldn't repair. She is trying now by e-wrapping 2 lines instead of 3 but the wool is too thin.. Is there any way to make the heel by starting off with 3 lines of wool?
Thank you very much again!
@@lailapspoitier1111
I do the 3 on a peg ea row also. I was thinking about taking off 2 the row before starting the heel to try to making it easier to follow.
Yeah I was wondering if you have more pegs ie 36 if you do more than 12 pegs for the 4 short rows?
thank you very very much
ELLI SEMITEKOY You’re welcome! 😁
I used two strands of yarn so it’s very difficult for me to see the stitches to fill in the holes. I didn’t get it quite right. Next pair I will be use a thicker single-strand yarn. I think it’ll make it easier to see what I’m doing
Let me know how it goes! Thanks for being here! 😊
This was very helpful. It seems that I have a small gap or hole on the outside of the heel, the left side when you put them on. the other side comes out perfect. Not sure what
I'm doing wrong. This is when I'm attaching the heel at the end. But as I said only on one side. 🤔
🤗🇬🇷
I know I am late, but were you ever able to figure it out? ♥️
Hi Gina, thank you for the close up camera in this video, it really helps!! I am working on an 18-peg loom for a smaller size, can I ask you, do I still need to knit four short rows or does that number change? I guess I would be working on nine pegs for these short rows but I wanted to ask you. Any advice would be much appreciated!!😀
Ginie Kay Thank you so much! I am glad it helps! ❤️🙂 I would still do the four rows. Thank you for being part of my channel. I appreciate you!
thank you, thank you, thank you very very much it was really very helpfull/////////
Thank you ELLI SEMITEKOY . I am so glad you found this video helpful! 💕Thank you for watching and being part of my channel!
can you make this with a 28 pegged loom?
Hi Gina. This video has been spot on. Thank you so much. I could not have done a heel without you. Do you have a written version somewhere? Also, do you have a video tutorial for the toe. Again, thank you ever so much.
Thank you for leaving this kind comment. Unfortunately I don’t have a written pattern. I had an Etsy shop back when I was actively making videos with written patterns but some people did not like the way I wrote my patterns and they demanded their $1. -$2. Back and gave me one star bringing my feedback down. :( I wrote really easy patterns and not like the normal patterns you see in books and I guess that’s a problem for some. 😞
While loom knitting, would there be a way to use a different color for the cuff and heel?
Kendra Baker Absolutely! You would switch out your colors before you start knitting the heel. 🙂
Thank you so much ! Can you tell me if I am making baby booties how to do on a 12 peg loom?
You can. It’s cut in half. Like the 12 pegs here. I will try to make something to show you if that helps. ❤️🤗
Now I can loom my socks . I have learned four different ways to knit a heel. I used knitting needles, crochet hook, tunsian style now loom. Wow I've learned so much. You are excellent. I understood the very first time I watched this video. I am definitely trying this technique. I will play video again while I knit. Do you sell your pattern?
Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I used to sell my patterns for $1. -$2. But people said my patterns weren’t written like normal patterns and demanded their money back which brought my Etsy rating down. :( So I closed my shop permanently. ♥️Thank you for spreading kindness!
goog evening Gina As I told you I am a beginner so when you say wrap 12 pegsand we do for four times you mean 4 rows the 12 peg? thank you
Hello ELLI SEMITEKOY, Correct! 🙂 Wrap pegs 1-12 for 4 rows. 💕
What determines the base number of stitches for the heel? Did you select 12 because it is half the total number of posts on the loom or because 12 is generally ideal?
My loom is 28 posts. Should my ankle be worked from 14 stitches or 12?
Thanks!
John Musco Hi John, thanks for your comment. That’s correct on using half. 🙂
How do you know how many pegs should be used for the heel? My loom is 31 pegs and I’m making a Christmas stocking
Sandy Somsen So Sorry! For some reason I didn’t get this notification! I break the heel down and use half the pegs. :-) Were you able to figure it out?❤️
I have always done it with 15 (or half the pegs) and left 3 empty pegs on each side like Gina does here. I'm currently working on some stockings for wedding presents and am going to try leaving 1/3 (5) empty on each side and 1/3 (5) left on the pegs in the center. I think it'll make for a bit deeper heel.
Very helpful but I've watch it 3 times and I'm still confused on when you put the yarn back on. You refer to 5 loops going back on the pegs on each side. I'm seeing 3 empty pegs on both sides of heel area and I know the one furtherest gets 2 stitches on it and the next three gets 1 put back on where does 5 go? Thanks!
Hi Gloria! Are you able to please give me a video marker number so I can take a look and try to explain it better? 😊
Thanks so much for this. I can never remember how to do the heel 🙄so it’s nice to just have a heel video to refer to.
Maryann You are so sweet! Thank you! I am glad the video is helpful to you!!! 💞🙂
Maryann totally agree with you!! It’s perfect 👌
How do you keep the top from rolling?
Hello Elaine Ottoson, As of now, I haven’t had a problem with it rolling. I do have a sock video coming out today that has a tighter stitch in the ankle and a toe! :)
what brand of yarn of yarn and do we do double strand?
Hello! I didn’t use double strands and the yarn is Charisma Loops and Threads. It’s a #5! One of my favorites!🤗I hope this helps and thank you for being here!
I would like to make these using a 12 peg for my granddaughter, who’s 7 years old. If I calculated correctly for the heel- I would use pegs 1-6, I will have only 1 open peg on each side and 4 in the middle. Is this correct?
Janet Knight Pegs 1-6 is correct. I recently posted a video on how to make a mini stocking where I go over the heel. The stitch is different then this video but it’s the same amount of pegs. Here is the link to that video: ruclips.net/video/Z3jsPUGmFrs/видео.html I hope that helps!
how could I make the socks higher/taller?
ari k keep stitch as long as you want to after you’ve completed the heel.
Hello Mam.Please show me how to make a socks with Thumb..Thankyou.
I am sorry. I do not know how to do that. 🤗 I have slipper sock and socks with a sewn in toe.
where from I can purchase the this loom
Imad Wani Michaels has similar looms to this. I will also add a link for you in the description box. 🙂
For the heel can you do pegs 1-10 or does it need to be 12?
You could try 1-10 but I am sorry I can’t say for sure because I have never tried it. 💖
Hello sweat Gina.. You have a loom of 24 pegs and for the heel you used the 12.. So, my question is if I have a 36 pegs loom for a christmas sock to hang on my fireplace ,for the heel I will use the 18 pegs? Hugs from Greece
Antzelina Gr Hello Beautiful! Yes, that’s what I would do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️Hugs from the states! 🤗
@@GinaLay Thank you soo much 🌸🌸💐💐🌸🌸
Antzelina Gr thank you for asking that question I am wanting to attempt Christmas stockings for all my kids & grandkids one day 😁🤗
Still abit hard to follow i mean better then the original there was only one part where I got really lost and I think maybe I’m just having a problem following lol but in the end I got two socks out of it!
I’m super happy you made the socks! You did it! 🙏🌞🙌😊
Does this technique work for baby booties?? I have been struggling with the heels for baby booties...:(
Also do u have a video for loom knitting baby booties??
Looking forward to seeing your response. Thank you for this tutorial. Seeing how you did it close up helped allot 😂
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words! This is something that I have thought of in detail. I have a video that might help you. ruclips.net/video/IXC36Lrpp94/видео.html
Sorry, I didn’t mean to press enter so fast! You would definitely need to use a 12 peg loom. Please keep me updated! 🙌
Do you do the toe the same way?
This toe is goes to my slipper sock video. The link for the slipper sock is in the description box. I will also list the link here if that helps. Please let me know if you would like that. 😊
@@GinaLay yes please btw I find your tutorials very clear and concise. I see you have a dog sweater video I’ll be checking that out soon. But for now it’s all about the socks!
Thank you so much for your kind words! ♥️😊🙏 I appreciate you being here so much. Here is my link for my slipper sock video. ruclips.net/video/yN3RK_3_SX8/видео.html I made this particular video to help with the heel. I hope you find and helpful and thanks for watching! I am looking forward to your dog sweater too! 💕 🐶♥️
@@GinaLay I believe I found the video you are referring too.
I dont get it.. at 12.55 you say put yhe fifth stich on the fifth peg so you have two of fifth peg.. but youre putting it on 4th.. i have 3 empty pegs on each side as you.. and 5 "free" stitches" .. so should i put double on 5,4 and then single on 3.2.1?
Correct. You will have those empty pegs and those will be the double that you will knit. 🧶😊I hope that makes sense.
@@GinaLay thanks.. trying now.
@@GinaLayit makes no sense to me when filling the holes.. if i put it on 5th it will be over the heel part.. isnt is suppose to be on 4 like video?
Otherwise it will be double on 2 pegs (on each side)
Or am i not using the 5th free stich? Trying that
I need instruction for this on the 12 peg loom for a baby bootie, as I started one from a youtube video and it was so complicated, that it looked just horrible but I completed it just for a laugh....omg so frustrated. Just watching this to see if it is as complicated at the other one I tried watching...lol HELP....I hope someone makes one of these videos for the 12 peg (flower loom) for baby booties....I want to send one to my granddaughter who is 8 and have her go to a youtube chanel that won't confuse the hell out of her. I am new at this and live on the other side of our country so I can't help her but I learned crochet from youtube and got so much help with my knitting that I had no idea about...if I made a mistake in the past that was it....my work was all for nothing, I had no one to help and I could not understand pattern at all.....but you tube made it possible for me to resume a jumper that was started over 20 years ago..that I put away LOL....now the child that was made for is an adult...but I just wanted to finish it...so now I know how to pick up stitch and so much more....thanks to the wonderful people out there on youtube willing to share their knowledge....I salute you all. This was so much easier to follow along with, I think I can do this but like I said I have a flower loom with 12 pegs and I don't know how many pegs to work on etc....thank you for sharing. I will have a go at making one once I get a bigger loom hopefully one that does children sizes and adults.
Emanuela Davis Thank you for your awesome message! I am so sorry I never got this notification. 😕 Were you able to figure it out? I would love to help if you didn’t. 😁
Hi You Very Very beautiful Girl 😘
Darshan Chauhan Thank you! 🙂
