I really love how you detail your explanation without making the whole process sound unattainable! Great job on this video! Definitely one to refer people to that want to learn to knit socks!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for this excellent tutorial and demystifying the mystery that is sock knitting… you are such a patient teacher and you show the hard things really well much appreciated!
Your assurances that things are fine while describing what we will see in our work is extremely helpful with keeping the stress down. Great tutorial! Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Many thanks for the great tutorial. Just finished my first sock and found the construction fascinating. I also feel like I have mastered the magic loop technique, I’d never really seen the point of it before , but it made so much sense for socks. Thanks again.
Thank you sooo much Cloe!! Just finished my first pair of socks, blocked & dried....oh my word....they fit!! I don't think I'm going to buy any more socks...just knit them all. Don't know what I was afraid of. Lol
Beautiful socks, beautiful stitching . I, too, still afraid to try socks, sadly. ....Maybe 1 day. It looks tough, and yet people take them here n there to work on.
REALLY unrelated comment but i just had to thank you so much for getting me through a scary time with this video. i got put on a new blood pressure medication that made me really sick and completely psychotic (couldn't even form sentences it was so bad) and this video kept my attention so well i was able to just lay down and finally relax. stopped the medication so im back to normal now _and_ im ready to make my first pair of socks! i seriously cant thank you enough😭❤️❤️
Clo, this is an excellent tutorial! I am definitely going to save it for future reference. Thank you for the explanation of the heel shaping. I knew there had to be some logic to it. Your toe graft makes so much sense, too. I am a new sock knitter, new to knitting in general, and all I want to knit is socks. Your explanations help so much. I’ve watched your other two sock knitting videos, and they’re equally helpful. I’m so glad I found you!
@@cloknits Je viens de regarder ton excellent tutoriel sur les chaussettes à mini-circulaires. Les m-c ont l'air moins "fiddly" que magic loop ... mais ... c'est-tu possible de faire le talon double + gousset de cette manière?
@@heatherburt2818 Personnellement je fais tout le talon avec les minis mais certains trouvent ça fastidieux. La seule chose que je ne fait pas mini c'est les diminutions des orteils (à moins de faire un orteil en rangs raccourcis)
Just wanted to thank you for making this video. It taught me so much. I bought your sweater pattern am half way through. It’s the simplest pattern I’ve done and the closest fitting to my size. Keep up the great patterns. Could you make a basic buttoned cardigan pattern? Looking forward to any of your patterns.
please do the flexi flip needles in socks too. I have only been knitting a short time. I found your cozy sweatshirt tutorial (raglan) and I am halfway through now. I haver REALLY enjoyed it. Your tutorials are fabulous for a beginner. Thank you for all of it. I didn't ever see myself doing a sweater this soon! I know I would have never gotten this far without a lot of stress with just the pattern by itself!! I'm so happy I found you. I'd love to see you do swing too! I can see you doing that in my imagination for sure!! 🥰Thank you, thank you. Take care! bisous
Thanks Claudia! I was twisting my stitches and wanted to solve this problem so I watched your video. Your method of pointing the stitches towards each other and then pointing them down saved me.
Perfect timing!!! 🎉 I'm finishing my 2nd sock of my very first pair of socks. 🧦 The first one fitted perfectly with the rule of - 10% & - 5% ease from the previous video, so I'm following the same amount of round for the second one. 🧶 Thank you for the tutorials. 💜
So glad to have found you! We just completed our first pair of socks that was super easy, but it did have so many eyelets and lace work haha. So naturally we want to work backwards and cast on a simple pair of socks 😂
You guided me through my first sweater. I have been thinking about socks but I think they may be way above my skill level. That said, I will watch this tutorial, and then I will give them a shot. Your explanations are so thorough that I think this may be possible ❤
@silverpromidi I have the yarn, but I have been intimidated with the magic loop method. I have spent a small fortune on various tools for making socks. I hate the minis--they are murder on my hands. I even tried 3 types of looms--yuck! DPNs are too fiddly and I kept losing my place. Anyway, I watched this through once, and have cast on using magic loop. The explanation here is less confusing than the others.
@@milabulic have to agree with you on the explanations. I got up to the heel before I had to get dinner. Tomorrow I will go to our local craft store and pick up a set of the circular needles and master this sock making! I need to in order to make socks that I can wear when my feet and legs decide to expand.
I'm on a journey to start knitting socks and this couldn't have come at a better time. Today I am purchasing long cable sock needles and some sock yarn. I'm so excited to get started. Since I've started knitting everyone in my family has come out of the woodwork deciding they want knitwear. Most of them are worthy and I don't mind but because I'm newish at this there are so many things I want to make for myself. I'm usually a selfless maker and sew for others no problem but I find that I'm a little more selfish about my knitting right now. I'd like to get some of my own wishlist done before making things for others. I'm hoping socks will be a way to get items knitted for others a bit sooner than later. I hope I don't sound like a horrible person, I'm usually very giving, but with knitting it's different. Does anyone else find it that way? Also, suggestions for the best sock yarn to start with? I'm in the US.
I'm 100% a selfish knitter and that doesn't make me a horrible person. Knitting takes so much time and you should be able to choose wether or not you are going to gift it or keep it to yourself. As for good sock yarn: Regia, KnitPicks Stroll or Felici, Patons Kroy, Lang Lang Jawoll are all great commercial yarns to start off with.
@@cloknits Thank you! That makes me feel much better. I bought some Regia to play with and a few sizes of chaogoo long cable needles for magic loop. I can't wait to get started. 💙
In French, this bone in the ankle is called the “malléole”. I just broke two of them this summer, same time that I broke my tibia and my péroné. Ouf! So, I knit very very much these days 😅
@@cloknits I’m getting well now. I begin to walk a little bit, but it will take time to recover “à 100%”. So, I knit a lot from my stash and I listen podcasts 😊
I love this tutorial and now I would like to try making some socks for the first time - I am a new knitter. How much yardage did you use to make those socks?
Oh, I meant to ask for a more tutorials! How about two at a time on one circular? I know you don’t care for toe up, but two at a time toe up could be fun, too! I just have to avoid that second sock syndrome!
I generally start knitting with the new color, use the "weavin' stephen" method for the old color and weave in the new one at the end. Does it make sense?
How do you avoid the gap at the ssk? When I wear the socks, I get a column of ladders just next to the ssk gusset decreases and ssk toe decreases. Thank you
I don't have a pattern for sale right now for these socks, they are a basic recipe that you can adapt to your own size. I could make one if that is of interest but I feel like there are already so many top down gusset sock patterns out there you could take and follow along with.
oh I am going to try this, I'll go through my yarn stash later to see what I have on hand and if I have a circular needle the size you are using, failing that out come the DPs 😀
I'm sorry about that. Are you a beginner knitter? If so I have videos for beginners where I show the stitches slowly. Here I'm concentrating on the sock construction. You can also slow down the video if you want.

@@dcantu-paez4308 It was not planned but maybe I can make a pattern. It's basically just a plain heel flap and gusset sock.

Noted!

Love knitting socks. I too was intimidated by socks but I just dived in and now I cannot stop. Love magic loop s well
It's really not as hard as it looks, right?
@cloknits no it is not hard. The hardest part is stepping out of your comfort zone and knitting the first sock.

Thank you for this videos

Great tips and tricks. Thanks
Happy to help!
Great video & tips! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I finally understood how to knit this heel. 😁
So glad to hear it!
I can do it after watching this. The magic loop- now I get it! What yarn did you use for these? It’s beautiful!
Agreed! First time I have understood magic loop 🎉
This makes me so happy! I'm using Entre Soeurs et Laine yarn, the Annana base. I show the label in the material section
You guided me through my first sweater. I have been thinking about socks but I think they may be way above my skill level.
That said, I will watch this tutorial, and then I will give them a shot. Your explanations are so thorough that I think this may be possible ❤
same boat as far as attempting socks but so wanting to make them 😀 now to find is I have suitable yarn here to attempt this project
If you've knitted a sweater, you can ABSOLUTELY knit socks! I swear!
You can do it!

Such a great intro to knitting socks. For stripes what method would you suggest for joining new colours?
I generally start knitting with the new color, use the "weavin' stephen" method for the old color and weave in the new one at the end. Does it make sense?
Thanks heaps for your time and help. I look forward to giving it a go.
Just trying it now. Such a great tip. Thank you.
Bonjour from Montreal 🥰
I was wondering if you could tell us where is the cheapest place to buy these flexy flip needles
Thank you so much ❤
I don't know if there are places where they are cheaper but Biscotte has them and Espace Tricot as well.
Can you do a tutorial with DK yarn .....cardigan with button band :-)
I'll add it to the list.
How do you avoid the gap at the ssk? When I wear the socks, I get a column of ladders just next to the ssk gusset decreases and ssk toe decreases. Thank you
Maybe you aren't making that stitch tight enough? Or it could be a sign of socks that are too stretched out.
Bonjour j’adore vos vidéo, est ce que vous avez un vlog en français
Oui j'ai une chaîne de tricot francophone: CloTricots
Where can the "Sex on the Beach" yarn be purchased? I am here in the US. It is what I have been looking for.
It's right here: entresoeursetlaine.ca/collections/chaussette-variee-identique/products/sex-on-the-beach
I tried to buy this pattern. I see one on ravelry but only in french. Can I buy it in english
I don't have a pattern for sale right now for these socks, they are a basic recipe that you can adapt to your own size. I could make one if that is of interest but I feel like there are already so many top down gusset sock patterns out there you could take and follow along with.
The bony prominence on the ankle is the “malleolus.” I’m not sure if there’s a common name for it.
At least I know the proper word now! Thank you
Oops ....sorry !! I asked too soon about bor Marker. You answered that
Circular needles scare me in a way, maybe with this project I can overcome that?
Oh, and June's Journey rocks 🤣
Why not try? You have nothing to lose.
oh I am going to try this, I'll go through my yarn stash later to see what I have on hand and if I have a circular needle the size you are using, failing that out come the DPs 😀
Your knitting to fast to see what your doing!
I'm sorry about that. Are you a beginner knitter? If so I have videos for beginners where I show the stitches slowly. Here I'm concentrating on the sock construction. You can also slow down the video if you want.
