I just bought this pattern. I’ve been practicing knitting for a couple months now with the goal of eventually making myself some socks and this is the first pattern I’ve come across that seems feasible to me at this stage in my journey. Thank you so much for showing this technique!
I started knitting in January of this year, thanks to your easy baby beanie video. I've progressed through all sorts of hats, baby sweaters and I've wanted to tackle socks but found the fine yarns intimidating. Thank you for this video on a worsted weight sock, I'm so excited to give it a try in this KAL. So grateful!
I made one sock in two days and I've never used the magic loop method or any of the techniques you shared! Your three tutorials were sooo clear thank you very much. I'm now starting the second one feeling a lot more confident!
Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to make my first pair of socks! Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Looking forward to some mindless knitting till I’m ready for part 2. I only learnt to knit this year but I’ve loved your crochet vids for a while now. Thanks again 🧶 💕 🧶
I am so happy I found your site tonight. I have never tried circulars for socks. Thank you for these tutorials. I get frustrated frequently and go back to making my therapy sweater pattern.
I just made my first sock following along to these videos! I’ve been knitting for a long time and was always scared of socks (and especially the dreaded double points), but this video broke down the steps in a very easy to follow way and I’m so happy with the results. Thanks!
I'm excited to feature your sock tutorial in my post '31 Quick and Easy Knitting Projects for Beginners.' Your clear demonstrations make it a perfect resource for newcomers to knitting!
I'm making socks for the first time. I'm learning that for my girlfriend who is moving in Canada from a tropical country soon and I want her to have warm socks before the winter starts. Thank you for the video:)
I really enjoyed following this tutorial/pattern! I learned a lot of new skills. I would love to see a video on how to make slightly more complex socks, maybe using something like kroy sock yarn!
Loving the sock pattern and tutorial. I love knitting socks! Thank you for a fun summer KAL. I am knitting the size small sock, my foot length is 5”. Do I measure from the toe or after the toe for the foot length? I can’t wait to learn the heel method. I know what everyone is getting in their Christmas stockings this year!!
I'm glad you're loving it! I'm totally making everyone socks for Christmas this year too 😆 If I'm understanding correctly, you're talking about measuring the actual sock itself, right? If so, I aligned my ruler with the edge of the toe when it was laying flat. Does that answer your question?
This may be a dumb question, but I want to knit a pair of socks for my long distance boyfriend. He is a size large, how do I know how many stitches to cast on?
I looked over your printed pattern online and saw the gauge for the medium worsted wool. But I'm still curious about the gauge for fine sock wool. I do have a math question: how do you determine the number of stitches required, based on the circumference and length of the foot? This would be good to know in the event I would like to make children socks or socks for men who have large feet.
I knitted a pair of socks two years ago, toe up, two at a time usung medium worsted yarn. It was my first pair ever and they came out a bit large. I want perfect fitting socks every time so I am wondering if I should do a gauge. My two questions are: should the gauge swatch be in the round or flat and how many stitches should I have per inch for medium worsted yarn and for finer sock yarn? By the way, I love your method if teaching. You take your time and explain each step well, taking the fear out of knitting socks! :0)
So I should use size 4 yarn with size 3 needles? The yarn I bought is a size 4 but on the label says to use a size 7 needle. Great video so far, can’t wait to start!
Yes, make sure you follow the supplies listed in the pattern rather than the yarn label. That will give you a different gauge and make the sock sizing inaccurate 👌
Thank you for asking this question Hayden! I also want to learn how to knit socks! I think I will order 2 needles (maybe a couple different kinds) to both critique the needles and to also work on the alternatively. I love these videos and really don’t care for don’s!
I’ve never been able to knit a sock. Are you using 5” shank or shorter? Is the bamboo or olive wood easier vs a lace metal needle? I’m in love with your instructions. So inspiring.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It's very easy to follow for beginners! :) Just one question though, can I still make these socks with a 32 inch cord?
how many did u have ?i dud judy magic cast on etc increase ? i have 20 one needles 20 on the other one > how many are u supposed to have one each needles ? i wear a size 8 in shoes ? how many stitches on each needles for the toe? i am very very confused ....i cant find the pattern
I’m not sure if you check the messages on here or not but I have a question about the first round of stitches , on needle 2 of row one you say knit across but the stitches on needle two are twisted except for the first one. Shouldn’t we knit them from the back? And the cast on stitches for the small size 20 stitches on each needle makes them way to big for me then to do the increases also. I bought your pattern because I thought maybe I was hearing wrong on the video but it says the same. I sure hope you check the comments soon at least before your next kal which I’m looking forward too.
I keep getting an uneven number of stitches on one needle and it will stay at that number no matter how many stitches my other needle increases. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?
I want to knit a pair of socks as a present for my friend who often gets very cold feet during winter, but I don't want to ask her to measure her feet for the pattern as it will spoil the surprise. I know her shoe size (Eur: 37/UK: 4), which is on the smaller side. Should I just try knitting these in the small size and hope that they fit? Does anyone know to what shoe sizes the small, medium and large socks in the pattern correspond? I'd appreciate any advice.
I've never made socks before but I use magic loop all the time and normally find it quite easy but I started looking at your video and I've never been so confused by the method you use. The cast on looks so awkward and I was taught to knit the stitches on the front needle first - not the back ones. Somehow the way you pull the needle through looks so difficult. I wonder if anyone new to magic loop could make it out at all. I'm sorry to sound so critical because I really appreciate anyone who posts up a helpful video and I really want to learn how to make socks - I just didn't get your method at all.
I want to thank you for making it so easy to follow the Judy Magic CO I had went through 4 other that can' t catch on until I came to your tutorial. Will you please do a tutorial of how you flick the yarn with your right hand to knit. I believe will go faster than the continental style I used. Again much thanks.
I am kiwi (from nz) so I don’t know if it is just me or not but your graph at the start doesn’t say the number of stitches to cast on? I am very confused about this? My foot is a medium
Is this an unusual size for the circular needles. I cant seem to find them anywhere. I'm wary of ordering them on amazon since the photo they have of the needles says they're 16in and not 36in.
Any length longer than 24" will work just find for magic loop. I wouldn't get the 16" though, that won't really be enough slack and it'll be a little tough to work with.
What are the magic loop needles you are using in this video. Your link takes you to another size. It's hard to find this size. I had to buy a stainless steel magic loop. Very slippery, I am new to this craft and love the feel of bamboo. Thank for this video very excited to make my first pair of socks. If your needles are from a set could you please share which one you are using.
Whenever I pull the needle out to put the stitches on the cord so I can knit, when I start my first stitch of the round the tension on the yarn tightens the last loop around the cord (which is MUCH thinner than the needle). This makes it kind of impossible to put the loops back on the needle after the round :(( how do I fix this??
I have a question, I followed link through to pattern and did the measurements I have a large foot so do I cast on 28 stitches on each needle or 20? I only ask because the chart on the pattern says 28 but in an earlier comment you say 20 stitches for a large foot. It’s unclear to me, thanks for the great video!
If you have a look at the foot "circumference/total sts each needle" chart in the pattern, you'll want to match up your foot circumference with a value in that table to get the number of stitches to cast on. For example, if your foot circumference is 9" you'll cast on 28 stitches each needle 👍
I love this process and can’t wait to get started on my first pair of socks. Where do I find the details on the materials I need, ie needles size, yarn type and qty?
Are you still active on this stream? Can I please do it that slow but a diff angle? I can't figure out your "behind the back needle" bit; my needles get stuck together 😅 help! 😅🙏
Since it's magic loop it'll work out pretty easily for you. The only thing about vintage circular needles is that sometimes their cable isn't as flexible as modern needles
Hey there! That's such a subtle difference in the needle size (3.25 mm to a 3.5mm) I'm inclined to say it will *probably* be okay. However, there's a chance the gauge will be different. With slightly larger needle, you'll probably measure more stitches per inch than the gauge but with it being so close, it's definitely worth a try if you can't get your hands on a 3.5mm needle. As far as the length goes, 60 cm will most likely work just find. The extra cord loop will be a little smaller than you see in the demo here, but you should still be able to knit with it 👍
Yep, the gauge will be smaller with sock weight yarn. You can still get around that if you're comfortable making adjustments. Much of the techniques will be the same, but the stitch counts will all be different. I have plans to make sock weight socks but don't have a date in mind yet 🤔
I think it should be fine, but as explained early in the video it doesnt stretch or breathe well, so i think thats the main reason people avoid it, it should still turn out as a sock, but it may not be a great sock in terms of "function"
I'm sure it's not just you! You'll want to look at the "finished size" section in the pattern and identify if your foot measurements are small, medium or large. When you know that you're good to go! The pattern will have the cast on numbers written like this - 12(16, 20), where 12 is small, 16 is medium and 20 is large 👍
Hey Debi! There are a couple ways to get the pattern. Either view it for free on my website or buy the PDF from my shop. Here are the links for both so you can decide which works for you!

Technically yes, but the pattern doesn't give specific instructions to knit on DPN’s like you would normally see for a sock pattern with DPN's. I decided to go with magic loop for this KAL because it's a little easier for new sock knitters but if you're already familiar knitting socks with them, go for it!
Kinda following the pattern, kinda not though because the size isn't for an adult. Baby yarn and extra small needles seem to do the trick, just not for gauge. 🤣
@@bhookedcrochet Ah, sorry, I meant my own project isn't for an adult. 😅 The pattern actually stills works, just with smaller everything. What I have for the first sock so far does look like the video. Thanks for the tutorial, it's very easy to follow. 💙
You can find the written instructions here: www.bhookedcrochet.com/2020/06/12/how-to-knit-socks/ Anytime you watch a video of mine and you want the pattern, just have a look in the video description. It'll always be linked there 👍
....and a round is not the same as a row. 1. Round A....means row needle one then row needle two....using the same stitch formulae. Change. 2. Round B...means row needle one then row needle two using the other stitch formulae. 3. Back to round A No wonder my sock toe is lopsided and sick. Good video though.
I've never knitted anything. Not one thing. But socks is where I want to start. I'll give this a go!
how did it go?
Updates?
how’d it go?
How did it go?
Do not start to knit socks. They are really hard for beginners. I recommend starting off with using large needles and chunky yarn to knit a scarf.
I just bought this pattern. I’ve been practicing knitting for a couple months now with the goal of eventually making myself some socks and this is the first pattern I’ve come across that seems feasible to me at this stage in my journey. Thank you so much for showing this technique!

Wonderful! I feel confident enough to knit my first sock using this video.
Don’t give up my friends ! Just don’t give up . You can do it. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Awesome tutorial! The best online lesson I have ever had! 😊
This tutorial is amazing! I tried so many before this, but it finally makes sense now. Also I can finally understand what's so calming about knitting
Measuring gauge on the toe is genius 👍😊 thanks a ton Brittany for your excellent tutorials 😊
Thank u so much.. i made a sock from watching ur videos 🙏
So happy! Thank u so much once again ❤️
Why is it I refuse to watch golf, bowling or curling, but am riveted to this knitting video? 😀 Thanks for the careful instruction!
Great instruction Brittany! Really enjoying these videos! Thanks for sharing!

you probably figured this out but they list the cast on stitches for the size large on the website! it’s 20 :)
@@Bella-pb6uk Thank you!! I hadn’t figured it out 😂😂
I make those but little bit different more easy
Great tutorial
thank you for this tutorial! just one quenstion, do we measure from the marker ? thanks again
I was thinking of knitting a pair of socks. "How hard can it be?" I thought. Then I saw this 0_0

Btw this is my dads account
Same number of stitches in both needles after we finish the toes, right? Or am I wrong?

You sound like the minecraft youtuber I watch Geminitay. Your voice is so calming~
Also, how many grams in average will this need?
can you use a small size yarn with the size 3 needle?

my foot circumference I'd 9.5 and I initially casted on 16 sts per needle and increase to 28 per needle. is this correct?
hey, how do you hold the yarn to keep tension for this? What yarn am I holding in my thumb? am I using tail yarn???
I'm knitting my toe, but the sides aren't connected. Does anyone know what might be going wrong?
Is there a free copy of the instructions? The link in the caption is broken :(
Where does it say how many stitches to cast on in the online pattern
Hey, where do I find out how many stitches corresponds with each size of sock from the sizing chart?
Look at the written pattern linked in the description :)
I love this process and can’t wait to get started on my first pair of socks. Where do I find the details on the materials I need, ie needles size, yarn type and qty?
you can find on the description section
my foot measurement is 9.5 from toe to heel, do I knit to that length or do I stop before the heel?
scrap that question. I've just had to undo it all as I ended knitted sock length to 9.5 inches instead of 6.5. Never again will I make a sock
Great socks! One question though, I am a boy so can I still knit these socks for myself?
Your gender doesn't prevent you from knitting. Take a look around RUclips and you'll find a number of male knitters. Knit to your heart's content.
If you want to knit these socks, you go ahead and knit these socks. Socks are universal :) They're for everyone.
Thanks guys, y’all are great friends :)
How many stitches u cast on at the beginning
Is anyone else having trouble getting gauge? I've had to drop to a dk on 3.25 needle but still only get 6 stitch/inch. Don't have smaller needles.
How will I do if I'm a continental knitter? Thanks
how do i keep the tail from disappearing before i cast all the way on?? your doesnt even shrink???
Are you still active on this stream? Can I please do it that slow but a diff angle? I can't figure out your "behind the back needle" bit; my needles get stuck together 😅 help! 😅🙏
How long cable is used for these?
Would 29” circular US 3 needles work? I try and buy used as much as possible, seems like all the vintage needles are only 29”
Since it's magic loop it'll work out pretty easily for you. The only thing about vintage circular needles is that sometimes their cable isn't as flexible as modern needles
Yes, absolutely
I totally just knit half a round with my tail >.
Oh my gosh, I've done that more times than I care to admit! 🤦♀️
Hello! Thank you for the video. Do you think 3.5mm and 60 cm circular needles will be ok? or I have to have 80 cm needles?
Hey there! That's such a subtle difference in the needle size (3.25 mm to a 3.5mm) I'm inclined to say it will *probably* be okay. However, there's a chance the gauge will be different. With slightly larger needle, you'll probably measure more stitches per inch than the gauge but with it being so close, it's definitely worth a try if you can't get your hands on a 3.5mm needle. As far as the length goes, 60 cm will most likely work just find. The extra cord loop will be a little smaller than you see in the demo here, but you should still be able to knit with it 👍
Hermoso 💚
I’m finding the casting on so confusing! Do you have any videos that go more in-depth ?
I can'tseemto advance past that 2 needle rapping thing. Wverytime l begin knitting tgy go loose and all my progress is gone.
Where can we find the number of stitches to put on according to the size?
there should be a written pattern in the description
@@davekelly5678 okay thank you
Small is 12 medium is 16 and large is 20 stitches on each needle
I have sock weight yarn, does that change the needle size or gauge?
Yep, the gauge will be smaller with sock weight yarn. You can still get around that if you're comfortable making adjustments. Much of the techniques will be the same, but the stitch counts will all be different. I have plans to make sock weight socks but don't have a date in mind yet 🤔
Okay but what if you don’t have the loopy kinda knitting needles 🤷♀️
How did the purl side on my sock end up on the outside lol?
How many stiches do i need for L size sock for the heal. I dont understand
I’m in the same boat...I don’t understand where it says how many stitches to being with..
large is 20 stitches on each needle
Can I try on acrylic yarn since I have a lot of them at home? Will it turn out into shape of a sock?
I think it should be fine, but as explained early in the video it doesnt stretch or breathe well, so i think thats the main reason people avoid it, it should still turn out as a sock, but it may not be a great sock in terms of "function"
im gonna try this having never knitted anything damn
Why do you do Judy’s magic cast on differently than everyone else including Judy Becker (the original inventor of this method)?
This method worked just fine for me. That’s all that really matters.
Doesn't magic loop normally go back needle to work front side, it's confusing going opposite direction
Usually, but it's a little different for the toe. Once you work past it and the sock grows, you'll see me work it in the usual way.
@@bhookedcrochet your right it 2asnt the issue I just thought it was backwards 5he video makes sense now
What does KSB mean?
I think you're talking about KFB? If so, that stands for "knit front back". It's an increase stitch 👍
Once you have measured your foot how do you know how many stitches to cast on?? Why isn’t this obvious, is it me??
I'm sure it's not just you! You'll want to look at the "finished size" section in the pattern and identify if your foot measurements are small, medium or large. When you know that you're good to go!

🙄🇳🇦
Kinda following the pattern, kinda not though because the size isn't for an adult. Baby yarn and extra small needles seem to do the trick, just not for gauge. 🤣
These socks are adult sizes 🙃 Definitely sounds like something is going on with the gauge!
@@bhookedcrochet Ah, sorry, I meant my own project isn't for an adult. 😅 The pattern actually stills works, just with smaller everything. What I have for the first sock so far does look like the video. Thanks for the tutorial, it's very easy to follow. 💙
Where’s part 2 and 3??
White background with pink yarn🙂. I cannot see what you doingg
Where is the pattern
You can find the written instructions here: www.bhookedcrochet.com/2020/06/12/how-to-knit-socks/
Anytime you watch a video of mine and you want the pattern, just have a look in the video description. It'll always be linked there 👍
....and a round is not the same as a row.
1. Round A....means row needle one then row needle two....using the same stitch formulae.
Change.
2. Round B...means row needle one then row needle two using the other stitch formulae.
3. Back to round A
No wonder my sock toe is lopsided and sick.
Good video though.
