GUSSET DECREASES:
Watch the video to see exactly how to pick up the stitches.
Once you’ve accomplished the pick up, you’ll just want to carry on knitting the following two row sequence, working paired decreases until you’ve returned to your original cast on stitch count.
ROW 1: DECREASE ROW
Beginning at the back of the heel, knit until you have 3 stitches remaining on the needle. K2tog, K1.
Knit across the instep stitches
At the beginning of the next needle (the other side of the heel flap) K1, SSK. Knit to the end of the round.
ROW 2: PLAIN ROW
Knit the entire round.
Repeat these 2 rounds until you have decreased enough stitches to return to your original number of cast on stitches, or the number that you need to fit the ball of your foot.
Continue knitting until you reach the desired length of the foot.

I'm working a different sock pattern and became confused at the heel and gusset point. Came to YT and found these two videos. Discussing the anatomy of each section was great. This helped so much, thank you!
That is exactly the reason I’m here. I followed my pattern exactly, and the whole heel looks lopsided. I need some explanation about how the heel is constructed, and why to use different techniques depending on the look you are after.
Super informative! I used this video to help explain that wasn't written in the pattern for my very first sock-knitting adventure. She does a great job of explaining the mechanics of what needs to happen at this stage of sock development. I feel like I'll be able to make my own twist on future patterns based on the information I learned here. Thank you!
Your instructions are the best I have seen so far. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are a great teacher 🎓as I was watching the video questions popped into my mind and in your next breath you answered them . Thank you ! I couldn’t have got through my first sock project without you . 🧶🧦😊
You are so welcome
I’m in the same boat!! Thank you so much for these lessons!
You're so laid back , you make it feel so comfortable to knit with you . I know I'm not perfect , so it helps that you aren't so stringent in your instructions. Puts me at ease . Thank you
I was so pleased to find your video, you would not be the number of times I have had to un pick my gusset, so a big THAN YOU to you Jana, next I am going to look and find out how to make the heel stronger x
Thank you for your excellent instructions. I was having a lot of trouble with my first socks, and yours are the only videos I found that completely explained the steps.
Wonderful!
I am so pleased I found your video Jana, the number of times I have pulled the yarn from the needles!! and started again! next I must look up how to make my socks stronger around the heel, so a big THANK YOU for your help x
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful for this rookie sock knitter. Thank you! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much! My granny used to knit socks for the family and I aways admired them. I recently started knitting for my husband who finds shop socks uncomfortable, but was afraid to try the heel . Your videos have helped me make comfy socks in the colours he likes. Thanks again!
Wonderful!
I love it that u mention using a crochet hook. I've used that for years,picking up sts for collars and such on sweaters!!
I was always so intimidated to knit socks but your instructions have really simplified the flow of sock creation for me! Thank you so much for this series!! Knitting socks is so much fun!! It knits up much quicker than I initially anticipated ^.^
Thank you so much Jan , you have made this so much easier to understand.
I'm so glad!
Your instruction is so concise and so helpful. Thank you!
Brilliant !!!! Contrary to other videos you knit the whole sick on circular needle. I just have to hunt for Step 1. Thanks a million for this video and all your tips and expertise and sharing 🌻
excellent knitting techniques plus I like the way you are so calm and say no big deal1
Thank you so much for this. your meathod of teaching can only be described as excellent!
I FINALLY actually understand the sock heel & gusset. You are such a good teacher! Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Thanks for creating this series! I've knitted a few pairs of socks from patterns but I never knew how to size or why different decreases are used. Your videos shows the process so clearly while giving so many helpful tips. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
i couldnt figure out a written pattern, your instructions saved me!
These videos are so helpful. You made each step so clear for me. After 3 months I'm so close to a complete pair!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much, I have knitted three pairs of socks with wonky gussets. Pair 4 might actually line up as it is the first time I have understood the instructions! Brilliant!
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes! I'd love to see a photo of your socks in the Ravelry and/or Facebook groups (links to those groups are in the video description)
Very helpful!! I have always wanted to knit socks with the cable needles but wasn't sure of how to do it and haven't found any videos that explained it so clearly--THANKS!!! EXCELLENT video. Now I'm off to do the gussets!!
Wonderful!
Jana this video was so helpful! I’ve been wanting to learn this for quite awhile, love knitting the under heel longer in a reinforced stitch, while having the heel flap also a reinforced stitch. Your explanation for narrow or wider heels is a game changer when knitting socks! Lots of big Norwegian feet in my family- size 12- 17 s, Lol😁
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing instructions
You are so good at explaining! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent clear simple instructions!
Glad it was helpful!
these videos really are saving me! i just had to rip out the gusset bc i did the decreases wrong and this video explained it so well
Aw dang, I'm sorry to had to rip back, but I'm glad you find the tutorial helpful!
messed up and got very confused, had to rip out the sock. Found this video and your last two minutes saved me 🥲i'm gonna go back and try this sock again, confidently!
You. Are. A. Genius. Thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
Having an "action" row really helps! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
@@PurlTogether ❤️😊
I learned to knit socks, two at a time, toe up using magic loop. It’s the only way I have ever knit socks, until now. I decided it was time to try top down sock knitting. To complicate matters, I decided to use the Addi Flexi-flip needles..... I cannot thank you enough for your videos. They have been of immense help. I’m just finishing the gusset decreases so it’s clear sailing from here... thank you again.
such a helpful video. I love how you make me feel I can go with the flow and it will still be ok x
I'm so glad!
I like the new music. Loving these videos!
Thank you Jana !!! 💜
God bless this video 😂 I was struggling with a book
Just brilliant xx
You have saved me and my sock! Thanks so very much for your clear directions. Wondering when your next video in this series will come out? I'm going to make it to the toe soon and will NEED your help!!! Thanks again!
I'm glad you found the video helpful! The entire video playlist is here:

You are wonderful thankyou it’s appreciated,
You are so welcome
What do I do if I ended up on the opposite side my needle has my knit stitches facing toward me with the needle pointed to the right.
Just knit across so you can begin the gusset decreases.
Love your Tutorials, they are so positive and fun. You are so enlightening with your style and it shows in your voice and work that you really enjoy the process ❤️ Thank you, so much! 🎉
Thank you for a easy to see and to the point explaining what to do. What yarn is this? It’s gorgeous!!
You’re welcome 😊. The yarn info is in the video description. It's Plymouth Happy Feet
Thank you so much for your simple but straight forward instructions. My only comment would be, picking up on the heel, going through both loops of the stitch does create a ridge, recipients have told me, I now find that just picking up the back loop seems to eliminate this and is equally neat. What do you think?
I’ll have to try that!
Great video
Thanks!
Like Mr. Roger's said, won't u b my neighbor.
Just fantastic help!
💯💯☺Love your knitting videos very easy to follow thank u
I’ve started my second sock so I can do the heel flap, turn and gussets back to back. One is in 9” circs the other is magic loop. I’m sure they’ll come out the same. Since it’s solid gray I’m not worried about colors or stripes not matching up if one is slightly different than the other 😉
Every knitter is different, as you know, but even the difference between circs and magic loop and make a difference in you gauge. Fingers crossed!
Thanks a lot you are amazing clear and very nice!
I have ripped out 8 socks!!! I know this video is going to do it for me!!!
Hi, I am wondering where I can find the toe part of this sock pattern. Couldn’t find it anywhere. Please let me know so I can finish my sock. Thanks
You can see my rounded toe pattern here:
www.purltogether.com/patterns
What is this beautiful sock pattern?
It's my method for cuff down socks. The entire playlist is a tutorial for how to knit them.
@@PurlTogether wanted thE PATTERN of the cabled sock if possible?
Still confused how to manage magic loop, oh well....but is there difference between SSK and knit 2tg through back loops ? i don't see it visually...but easier for me....thanks for teaching us👍
When you SSK, you're turning the stitches as you slip as if to knit. If you just knit them through the back loop, they're still oriented the same way they were on the needle. The SSK tends to lay more flat.
This video may help with magic loop

Have you ever done a sock where you've done the reinforcement (slip-knit) pattern all the way to where you begin to decrease for the toe?? I was thinking, it might be a good pattern for my boys who run around in their socks, inside the house. But I wanted to ask first.
I haven't done that personally, but you sure could!
Please help! I thought I was following along and did everything you said. The gusset is way too big. Is there a remedy short of ripping it all out?
Did you swatch before you started? How many stitches per inch are you knitting? How many have you cast on?
I need step 4
Here is the link to the whole playlist
ruclips.net/p/PLNWbWGGFfxXnClP7lljZNuMDlqXIDttie
Can we continue with slip/knit all the way down the bottom of the foot?
You can, yes!
Your videos have been so helpful when the pattern doesn’t make sense! Thank you.
Same! These vids have saved me as a beginning knitter, especially bc the pattern I'm using is for circular needles while I'm using DPNs and I get easily confused by some of the terminology.
The heel turn and gusset are my nemeses. I attempted to keep in pattern on the heel turn, but one side is a little more bumpy than the other one. I had the correct number of stitches to begin with, but something weird happened as I began to decrease on one side...so frustrating. As for the sl 1, k1 reinforcement...how far did you continue the pattern after the heel turn and decreases? Did you continue to the toe? I couldn't tell from the video. Thanks
I just rewatched the video. You continued until you reached the end of the gusset decreases and then switched to plan stockinette underfoot correct?
Correct.
Thanks! I figure out what happened. I forgot my knit round a couple of times after the reinforcement section after the heel turn, but I think I showed my sock who’s boss and worked it out👍🏾
Found a mistake a couple rounds back, can I pull one sock off and work back with dpns then place back on cable needles?
Certainly.
Hi,, Working on my magic loop skills. (slow and steady). I knit left handes so I assume when you k2tog. that is when I would do SSK and visa versa? Thanks.
I've never sat down next to a left-handed knitter, so I'm unsure of the differences. However, you'll want the decreases to lean toward the toe, away from the leg of the sock.
How many stitches are in the slip stitch area of the sole? It seems narrow if I just continue with the number after the heel turn-about 25%.
Looking at the picture again, I think I get it. Thanks!
Hi. If you forget how many you cast on When you start Can how Can i count it so i find out how many stichs i startede with🤔🤦🏼♀️ i forget esyli😅
Can you count the ribbing stitches at the cuff?
I have a problem and I can't figure out why it occurs! I followed this tutorial as carefully as I could and I think I did it exactly as shown? But after the gusset decreases I no longer have an even number of stitches/loops on my needles!
This happened to both my socks that I am knitting on separate needles. So now when I'm at the kitchener stitch point in the process, I have one needle with 11 loops, and one with 10. On both socks... I'll have to find some way to cheat and make it work, but I'd like to get it right next time I knit a pair of socks so I really want to figure out why this happens. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?
You may have inadvertently picked up a different number of stitches on the each side of the heel flap?
@@PurlTogether hmm. Maybe? I'll have to check that more carefully next time
Where is the pattern?
Everything is in the video description
Mam part 6?
ruclips.net/video/mYTe6Zc7qk0/видео.html
Try, try, try, fail, fail, fail, so I’m picking up the stitches with a crochet hook and slipping them on my needle. It’s working, but geez…
You can do it!
Video six is missing !

Why are knitting flap stitches into back??
Have you had the chance to watch the Step 4 video about knitting the heel flap? We knit into the back loop of the last stitch on the row, so it turns the stitch outward. Doing this, plus slipping the first stitch of the row, creates a nice edge to pick up later.
This is NOT suitable for a beginner....maybe for an advanced knitter.
Way too fast, mumbled, unclear - especially when correcting a verbal mistake; I'm like "huh?"
Also: for a DEMO have larger materials- thick yarn and big needles.
The longer I'm watching this fiddly, fast work the more irritating I find it.
I have to agree. This particular video was very hard to follow for me. Needed more needle context, more concise instructions. I found myself having to wing multiple parts of knitting my gusset. Hope I can wing it the same exact way with my second sock..
