I just need to thank you. As a new knitter, this is the first pattern I had purchased. your videos literally taught me how to knit. I remember knitting this for the first time and I messed up the provisional cast on because I didn't have a crochet hook. I used my fingers but I couldn't quite distinguish the spines, and so it didn't really zip well. Anyways, it's been a whole year later, and now I have a crochet hook because I would like to learn crochet. frustrated, I couldn't figure it out, and I came across this again... and you did it. You got me doing the chain stitch. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.
You just answered my question.....I can't crochet(even something this basic!)to save my Life lol..... thought about just using my finger,,hmmmmm. Guess I'll have to struggle thru. Going to try with magic loop as I'm intimidated by DPN's. Yes. I'm a new knitter 😊🥢🌻🥢 !!
@@vivienneclarke2421 I'm the opposite! I love DPNs and intimidated by magic loop! Lol Definitely get the crochet hook. This us my 2nd sock pattern from Staci. Try her Learn to Knit Socks pattern. That was my first and super easy!
Someone on Facebook just suggested making these in Boston Red Sox colors, like their logo...what a great idea! I might just do that for a Red Sox fan I know with chilly feet!
This type of sock is a really great first sock for any level of knitting. My first sock was worsted weight - but I think this is really better. Works up fast and the needles and yarn is so much easier to manage. Plus, it really makes it easier to understand the architecture of a sock. Your videos are always great!
I absolutely LOVE your tutorials, the way you explain things are so easy to understand AND you make me want to pick up DPN's and give it a try. Thank you!
Great video! I've started a pair of these socks and have just reached the heel. It's the first time I've used this method of doing the toe and I find it fascinating. It's definitely my new favourite sock-knitting method!
Just finished the toe and heel and I'm on my way UP! These are my first socks. Always hesitant to try. Thank you so much for the marvelous pattern. Well written. Since I began to knit again I've used all your videos for reference and learning. As fast as I make the gloves, hats, scarves, etc. they just fly out the door with my kids and grandkids. Dishcloths are being enjoyed by myself and my friends. Thank you so much for inspiring me!
Thank heavens for you, your channel, RUclips and the pause button! keep up the good work and thank you! :)
Celia Muldoon - You can hold a lighter weight yarn double-stranded to make these socks, but it's really important that you get the correct gauge (number of stitches per inch) as the pattern for the size of your sock to come out properly. Using lighter yarn and smaller needles will result in a tighter gauge, and a much smaller sock. But holding lighter yarn double-stranded and adjusting your needle size so that your gauge is correct will work fine.
thanks the people in the shelters i am knitting for will thank you also :) have a fantastic day... i will try and figure it out with gauge... any good clips i can use to learn gague being new at all this? thanks
VeryPink Knits,
Where did you get your needles
Thanks so much for this. I have finished my first project (a lumpy sort of ugly hat) to practice my knit and purl stitches and now I'm on to a sleep sock. I purchased the pattern and my supplies today! I'm very excited to be a sock knitter! Your tutorials are super helpful.
These look so comfy! Also great color combination. I have never knitted socks using bigger yarn before but I will definitely try it next time I need new sleeping socks.
I think you're fantastic and a huge inspiration, I've completed three big projects based around your tutorials now and they're my absolute favourites in my collection. Just thought I'd let you know! 🙌
I havent watched your video all the way through yet and i already love this pattern. Its the socks i' ve been looking for! Thank you for teaching!
I just bought this pattern and was very eager to start but I don't own any crochet hooks. determined to find a way to make the starting chain after much googling articles someone mentioned using a crochet hook for a stronger faster cast off, it being the same stitch as a crochet chain. So I tried casting on and casting right back off and yes it makes the crochet chain! Happy knitting!
Hello,I'm from Hong Kong, I love knitting,and I totally like your all videos . It helps me. Thank you very much. After I knitted my hat, I will try to learn how to knit a pair of socks.
Just now found this older tutorial., must have missed it since I had multiple problems doing toe up socks...anyhow was in need of a pattern for men's worsted or bulky wt sleep socks....this popped up. Really a huge help...first the cast on and the way you handled the short rows, and the forethought heel. Can't believe I actually enjoyed knitting toe up. Your tutorials are always so clear, that I am not intimidated about trying a tecnique that has given me problems. THANK YOU. PS Yes, I' m one of those who couldn't get the pattern to downlad, but I'm sure its my fault as I'm a senior citizen. I'm going to get someone to help me since I saw a bunch I'd like while scolling to find this vid
Thank you for the note...I haven't heard of anyone having difficulty downloading any of my patterns. My patterns are all available on my website, www.verypink.com, as well as on Ravelry. If you ever have a problem with one of my patterns, please email me directly at staci@verypink.com.
@@verypinkknits thanks for response. The problem is me. I have a grandchild who will help me. But if I still have problems the email offer is gratefully appreciated. Scrolling thru even as we speak. Or type.
Got my copy of the pattern and ordered my yarn and needles. This will be my first pair of socks. Wish me luck!
My friend wanted slipper socks and this is still a great tutorial and pattern! Thank you!
I love this pattern SO much!! Making Christmas gifts for everyone!! ❤️
Well this looks magical. I'll need to make these after I finish some other projects
OMG I just made a pair of bulky sleep socks for my husband and am working on a pair for myself. I wish I had found this video before I started! LOL
You truly do the best tutorials!
Awesome ❣️🧶❣️Thank you.
I’m starting my Christmas 🎄 knitting 🧶
Just finished my second sock's heel! Thank you so much for the simple pattern and fantastic video guide! I've been terrified to try socks but I think I'm doing alright! They're not perfect, but they're mine :)
Please help on which side of stiches heel should be made.how many sts and wraps for toe up socks
I purchased you two at a time toe up pattern. I have made so many socks using that pattern. I am excited for the bulky pattern. I would love to see a tutorial on a after thought heel. You are fantastic!
Замечательный мастер- класс! Благодарю Вас за такие уроки! Очень много интересного я узнаю!!!
Great explanation for W&T short rows. I will have to practice this before I implement it in my socks. Thank you very much!!
This looks like a fun project to try out! Thanks for sharing the great video.
I just love the kind of videos made..here !♥
I should make a pair of those for my dad with yarn I dyed myself. He'd love it
I love watching your videos!
These look nice and thick, could they be used for hiking socks as well? Great video, good instruction! Thanks so much!
Yes, this tutorial has been out for a few years now, and I've heard back from plenty of hikers who are enjoying these socks.
Thank you for answering my questions so quickly! Thanks to your video I feel I will try to knit a pair of these. Awesome! Thanks again so much!
Thank you for the video....more inspiration for men and kids gifts. Just need to dig through my stash.
How did you know that I need these socks desperately? I'll be using Magic Loop, but I'll definitely be using this tutorial. Thanks so much!
I love your works!! Keep doing!!
I can't wait to try these. Funny though, I was too distracted by the sounds of your tummy grumbling and had to rewatch a lot of this video because I was giggling, hahaha.
Love this pattern, do you have any suggestions on what to put on the bottom of the socks so they don’t slip when wearing them around the house.
I always look forward to your videos; thanks a lot!
I really don't like the toe up method, but for socks where you know you are going to run out of yarn, it's the perfect method. Love a ball winder and my digital scale 🙂
I love the hair cut..and the socks. :)
hello.i bought the pattern.thanks.hopefully i can make this socks.its a challenge for me.
I would also love to see a tutorial for an afterthought heel socks.
Hi Stacy -- how and when do you decrease the 2 stitches you added to bridge the gaps between the heel and the body of the sock?
If you pick up stitches to keep from having gaps between the heel and the rest of the sock, as you've described, you can just k2tog those extra stitches out on the next round, so that you get back to your original stitch count.
Thank you. You are a great teacher!
What if I have never knitted before, period? This is my first time knitting anything. But I am excited to try!!!
If you've never knit anything before, you need to work your way up to socks. This tutorial gets you started with knitting, and working on a scarf: verypink.com/2011/01/13/learn-to-knit-your-first-scarf/
Socks are new to me. I am 85 and have been ill for years and am just now starting knitting again. Would this sock pattern be a good one to start with?
I'm just getting into knitting socks and I'm a bit intimidated by the multiple needles. So far I'm knitting socks using two straight needles but I'd like to try others.
Jessica Chittester Hi, try using circular needles. Less needles hehe
I've just finished my first sock in this pattern. This is also my first experience with short rows. The tutorials are really helpful. I'm knitting this pair for a friend and I think they will fit her just fine. What would be the best way to make the leg wider, for someone with larger calves?
If you want to make a larger sock, just use a larger needle. I don't recommend trying to rewrite the pattern with more stitches in the cast-on - there is no need.
I'll give that a try. It might be awhile, but I'll post a note on the results. I find your videos very helpful. Thanks!
At row nine on the pattern it says stop and then begin at Row 13 for the kids size which I am making. So I do row 13 where I pick up 2 wrapsbut I will only pick up one wrap there? then I do row 14where it says pick up both wraps and then continue forwarding
I love this but don't know what I'm doing wrong. You have a clear video and excellent instructions, so it's definitely user error. When I remove the provisional cast-on, it looks like it's been bound off. The stitches aren't live and don't come undone. I have no idea what step I missed. Any thoughts?
Shara Cooper - are you picking up stitches from the spine of the crochet chain? If not, that is probably the issue.
Wow, just watched the German short row video. Any chance you can update this pattern with GSR's?? Please:)
You said you used bulky yarn, but it looks like worsted! Do you think this pattern would work in a worsted weight, or should I try to make them a size bigger to compensate?
It's bulky yarn...I don't recommend changing the yarn weight! If you have worsted weight yarn that you want to use, you may be able to get the correct gauge by holding two strands together while you knit.
hi ..i live in vancouver ...where i go for lrneaing knitting ...? thank you
Hmmm in my stash I have Lamb's Pride wool, I think I even have Christmas colors.
All I had was a size 7 crochet hook but I'm guessing that is too small. I couldn't pick up my stitches.
I LOVE this pattern and have made several pairs. I am particularly hard on my feet and would like to incorporate some "reinforcement " type stitching along the bottom. I thought about incorporating the K1S1 heel stitch into the toes, heels and along the bottom of the foot. But, as I am still a novice knitter, I don't know if this will accomplish what my objective or if there is a better way to go about this. I am already familiar with the idea of using yarn that has nylon blended in, but I wanted to find a stronger stitch, too.
Any thoughts?
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/OJPZVswnVxQ/видео.html
Excellent 🎉
Great tutorial as always! I was thinking, you must have piles and piles of half-finished mock-ups and swatches laying around. What do you do with them? I suppose a lot of the time the length of yarn in them is really too short to rip up and use for something else? Just curious. :)
***** - yes, you are right. :) When I can, I rip back and reuse the yarn, and sometimes I can save pieces for use in other videos. But I also end up throwing many little demonstration pieces away.
VeryPink Knits
You should try to make them into a blanket that way there is no waste. I bet it would be beautiful. Cause you use some nice yarn in a variety of colors.
i have alot of 8 ply wool would this be usable? i know it says 10 ply but here in australia this is not easy to find... please help... i also want to buy double pointed needles with the ply being 8 will i have to adjust the crochet hook and needles and if so what would you recommend?
ok, so as an advanced beginner, I have been looking forward to purchasing this pattern, and so I wanted to try the provisional toe you demonstrate. HOWEVER, I did not hear you say that at a certain row you double-wrapped the yarn. I saw it as you did it on screen at 9:45, but you didn't confirm it verbally, so I thought perhaps you had made an error. So I did*not* do it on my own Try. So it is very frustrating to now hear you talk about picking up the double wrap. ERRRRR!! I have to start over again. Perhaps you should fix it.
I demonstrate the techniques used in my videos, but you want to follow the pattern for the exact, correct instructions. That said, the pattern is clear about where the wraps are placed, and some stitches will have a second wrap (I wouldn't call it a double wrap).
Love it, can't wait to make some ... Gbu n family ... Thanks
hi Staci great video i am a 8 year old knitter and i have a problem when im knitting in the round my knit stitches come as purl stiches
+ashley mberi - this video should help you: ruclips.net/video/r0psocAR3Q0/видео.html
Hi Staci. I'm a fairly beginner knitter. Can you explain what you mean by decrease the stitch if you have to add one to close the gap at the toe and heel? When would you do that? Thanks.
Here you go - if, after you finish the heel, you pick up an extra stitch or two to close up any gaps when you start knitting in-the-round again - decrease those stitches back out again on the following round to get your stitch count back to the original number. Working a normal k2tog decrease is all it takes.
So I still can't get the pattern to print, so I wrote down all six pages. Now that is dedication and love for a pattern. Any ideas on how to get it to print. Thanx
You'll need to find out why you're unable to print PDF files...I'm afraid I can't help you, but hopefully you know a techie who can give you some assistance.
It's okay I wrote the pattern out long hand. We live in BFE East Texas and no techie's around. I'll figure it out next time. Thanks appreciate it anyway.
Dear Staci, is it possible to upload full video of this type of sock knitting? Could you please upload the process from beginning to finish of knitting? Thanks in advance!)
fuad taghiyev - this tutorial does demonstrate this sock pattern from beginning to end. The written pattern spells out exactly how to knit the socks in different sizes, and the video walks you through all of the techniques used. However, this pattern will not teach you to knit - it is intended for knitters with at least "advanced beginner" skills, meaning knitters who are very comfortable working the basic stitches. If you would like to learn to knit, I recommend my Basics playlist here:
ruclips.net/p/PLF004A1CE2AB1B12E
VeryPink Knits Thanks a lot! :)
This video is great, thank you 😃
do you have a slow version of this bulky sleep sock. I am getting a problem with the pick ups of wraps
Here is a slow-motion video of wrap& turn and picking up wraps: ruclips.net/video/3U5fgyBcPPM/видео.html If you are working from the written pattern and you have a question, you can always email me directly for pattern support at staci@verypink.com
If you have the size of a mans foot and it is bigger than your 8 inches how do you work out how many stitches you will need. 28cm heel to toe( foot length) 33cm Ankle circumference, 38cm calf length and 33cm calf circumference. I have bought your pattern and have enjoyed your video's but I can't find anywhere on the web of how to adapt the pattern for different feet!!!
thanks
Michelle
+Michelle Strange - the pattern is sized for average foot widths, any shoe size. You can't really alter a sock pattern...you pretty much have to scrap the whole pattern and start over from scratch. The easiest thing to do to make a sock for a wider foot is to use a bigger needle size, and follow the pattern exactly as written. That will give you a wider sock. Good luck!
Love this pattern. Could I use magic loop and German short row?X
Yes - if you're comfortable using the magic loop method, you certainly can. And in this video, I explain how to use GSRs in a pattern that calls for traditional wraps & turns: ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
Thank you so much. I love your videos 😊
how do you know how many stitches to cast on if you want to go a bigger or smaller size. teriffic tutorial by the way
Serenity Hachey-Carroll - the pattern includes instructions for kids, women, and mens sizes.
Hi , I like to buy this pattern for the socks , but not sure how to work paypal hmm lol ..hope to figure it out ..
Why on some purl stitches do you appear to wrap the left yarn twice before purling? Thanks!
I don't wrap the needle twice...it is likely that I just "missed" the wrap the first time, and then caught it the second time.
You are reallllllllyyyyyy cool
Thanks Staci!!
Estos voy hacer!!!!
I bought the pattern and am ready to begin, but I do have a quick question, please. How do I convert the pattern from "bulky" socks to "regular" socks? The yarn I have on hand is too thin for the pattern to work,it's about half the 'bulk' it should be. So, I was thinking, can I just use size 4.5 needles instead of (1/2), or is it best to not do that but try different sizes until I get the stitch to 4 inch guage?
Thank you for your help!
Sorry - changing the gauge in a sock pattern (using thinner yarn, smaller needles) is not a simple modification, you essentially have to start from scratch and write a new pattern in the new gauge. It is likely, however, that you can hold your yarn double-stranded, using the recommended needle size, and get the correct gauge for this pattern. If you have more questions specific to the pattern, please email me at staci@verypink.com
Thank you.
I want to try something new... what’s easier... cable knitting or sock knitting?
dewin hernandez cables are easy and fun when you get the hang of them
You are a toe up sock knitter, and I knit from leg to toe. Do you have any sock patterns that are leg down?
Knit Whit - I knit socks both ways, but I prefer toe-up. Here is a link to a list of all of my sock tutorials. Many of them are cuff-down: verypink.com/category/socks/
hiya, i've done a couple of pairs of these now, on my heels and toes where i do the w+t i have noticed holes along where i have pulled the wrap over, could this be because im wrapping too loosely?
Mark Lancaster - no, it isn't likely that your wraps are too loose. Wraps and turns take some practice to get juuuuust right, which is why I always recommend wool yarn on socks that use this technique. Wool is really forgiving, so little tension issues like that get whisked away as soon as you wash the socks.
Would love a pattern to make these without W/Ts.
You can substitute German Short Rows for the wrap & turns. In this short video I describe how to do that. ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
@@verypinkknits Could I use KFBs for sock toe increases every other row? These make sense in my complicated mind 🤣
What size don are you using on the sock thank you
How is this cast on method different than the provisional cast on? It all works out in the end the same way right?
The cast-on used in these socks is a provisional cast-on.
Hi Staci, can you substitute the wraps and turns with German short rows
Yes, no problem. This video explains how: ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
Hi Staci thank you for you help
Staci, I have finished the socks and I am hooked. Do you have a pattern that is TOE UP for a basic ankle sock? Thanks
Sheri Sterling - this tutorial is toe-up, and you'll see plenty more toe-up tutorials here on my sock tutorial list: verypink.com/category/socks/
Thank you! I do have one question, when you pick up the wraps in this pattern you wrap the next stitch and that gives it two wraps. What is the purpose of having the double wrap on the stitch? Thanks
Sheri Sterling - the second wrap is because you're turning again. The wrap is necessary every time you turn the work, without knitting (or purling) to the end of the row.
How many do I put on for 3 for my self
hiya, im looking at buying the pattern for these, is the pattern on a pdf / word doc? im in the UK so not sure if makes much difference to ordering??
Mark Lancaster - it is a PDF file, and readable anywhere in the world with PDF software, like Adobe Reader or Google Docs. Even if you aren't familiar with these programs, it is likely that your computer or device already has software loaded to read PDF files.
VeryPink Knits hiya, thanks for your prompt reply. im quite familiar with the software, just didn't know in what format your pattern was supplied. i didnt want to pay just to find out its in physical format which wouldnt be postable to the UK is all! thanks again, look forward to keeping my girlfriends cold feet away from me!
My boyfriend wears a size 18 shoe. Got any tips on how to deal with making socks for that? Lol. I'm wanting to make socks for him.
Bekka Venoy - as long as your boyfriend has a normal foot width (and not especially wide), all of my sock patterns can be knit any length, to fit any shoe size.
You could do what I do and calculate for the sock based on gauge, but that becomes tedious to some people.
Hi this is ms pinkey what is the link to the bulky socks would like to try them
verypink.com/2014/10/29/bulky-sleep-socks-tutorial/
I am about to start this using German short rows. What changes need to be made in the pattern other than adding that you knit one more stitch to the wrap and turn rows? Thanks
This video explains how to substitute in GSRs for traditional wraps & turns:
ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
+VeryPink Knits thanks for the quick reply. Just wanted to be sure I didn't have to adjust anything else in the pattern other than the wrap and turn info.
So glad I look at the comments because I was going to ask the same question. Going to love making these in different football teams colors for my family. I like the GSRs much better. Thanks,
Sheri Sterling 靴下の編み方
Can you use magic loop for these?
laace2003 - yes, I mention that in the video.
how much yarn will you need in each of the 2 balls of yarn to make each sock?
+grace notes - each hank of the recommended yarn is 137 yards/100 grams. For the main color, you'll need half that for each sock - one hank of main color for a pair of socks. You just need about 40 grams of the contrasting color for a pair.
Hi I would like this pattern but when I click your link in the screen it does not work. Can you provide any assistance please?
+RT - the links are all working correctly for me, here is a direct link to the web page where you can get your pattern:

Hi, I have just started sock knitting and I have learnt toe up using Judy's magic cast on and I was wondering if there is a way I can convert provisional cast on patterns to the magic cast on? Thanks in advance!
Charlotte Medcalf - unfortunately, not really. Patterns that use the crocheted provisional CO (like this one) and patterns that use Judy's Magic CO actually start in different places of the toe. You can rewrite the pattern to accommodate one or the other, but it is not a straight-forward modification.
VeryPink Knits thank you for getting back to me. After thinking about it, it makes sense that it would be hard to modify the pattern. After I have finished the socks I'm working on at the moment I think I am going to give provisional cast on a go, it can't hurt to learn a new method!
Charlotte Medcalf - I highly recommend giving the crocheted provisional CO a try. The reason I teach it in my sock tutorials is because I like it SOOO much better than any other toe-up sock CO, and people usually have much better success with tension using it.
VeryPink Knits Thank you so much for your help yesterday, I spent yesterday evening trying the crochet provisional cast on and love the end result, it is also much easier than I thought it would be! I'm sorry to be a pain but I have another question if you have the time! I watched your video explaining German Short Rows and found it much quicker to work than wrap and turns and preferred the finish it gave.I was wondering if German Short Rows could be used when knitting two at a time magic loop socks , in the same way as you do wraps in magic loop by slipping the stitches instead of turning mid row? Thanks in advance!
Charlotte Medcalf - yes, I explain in the German Short Rows video how to substitute GSRs for wraps and turns in socks: ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
I bought the pattern to get the detailed instructions, but there are none: the first "instructions" read to "follow the pattern and knit up to the w&t stitch.", but the pdf I bought IS "the pattern" !
I bought the pattern so I would have written instructions, where are the detailed written instructions, please. Are there 2 files I was supposed to be sent? Do you intend that this video be "the pattern" and only give SOME "detailed instructions" in the pdf I bought?
I do not want to have to refer to a video when I knit, I don't want anything electronic. around me outside of a light when I knit. That is what a pattern is for.(.. isn't if?)
I would appreciate some help, please..
OMG - I'm sorry you're having trouble, the pattern is SUPER detailed with row-by-row instructions! This video only shows the techniques used, the pattern is a stand-alone thing. Please email me at staci@verypink.com with your specific questions, we'll get this sorted out, and make sure you have the complete pattern.
@@verypinkknits No, I OWN the pattern. I bought it and it was sent to me as a PDF and, as noted in quotes, the instructions read to "follow the pattern".
@@verypinkknits The pdf begins with a link to the video. Immediately underneath that is the chain-on of crochet string... Then, no sentence or title to indicate "PATTERN", instead, instructions for "w&t" which begins with the words "follow the pattern".
As the pdf continues there is a specific section entitled "SHORT ROW TOE", but no sentence or section indicating to the reader that "PATTERN BEGINS HERE"
The only complete instructions that the purchased pattern gives are to the video...
Yes - I understand you own the pattern. I'm very confused as to how you're not seeing the full instructions. Again, please email me at staci@verypink.com so we can continue this conversation and get it worked out!
It sounds sort of like you may have at least part of the pattern...please email me at staci@verypink.com so we can get this worked out! I promise you the complete pattern is very clear, with row-by-row instructions, and the techniques I show in the video spelled out in words. I don't ever skimp on my patterns - if anything, I could be guilty of over-explaining!
what is the benefit to wrapping and turning v. german short row?
They are just two different techniques that serve the same purpose.
good to know! Thanks! I very much prefer GSR
You knit under the dpns? I'm new to them and I knit over. Does it matter?
I'm not sure what you mean by over/under...this video might clear it up?
ruclips.net/video/r0psocAR3Q0/видео.html
No that's not it, it's more like I knit with the extra two needles closest to me instead of my working needles. Recently my cuff (just practicing) went from garter to stockinette to garter..even though I knit every stitch so it should have just been stockinette. Don't know what happened there either!
Can you make a colitis ,I really want to learn how to make one
I have never, personally, heard of a knitting pattern called "Colitis". Do you have a link to it?
Natalie Ford - Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease or disorder. I think it was probably a typo. :)
VeryPink Knits
Yes, I know that (I have IBS / IBD-NOS) and that is why I was curious.
Natalie Ford well then.... umm
I would like to knit these up for an elderly lady like myself! But I don't want to slip on beautiful wooden floors in my daughters home. Would you happen to have any ideas or product that can be put on bottom of soles? Happy Holidays to a happy Stacie!
Elsa Corsi, I was reading your comment about the socks on wood floors being too slippery. I made my niece and nephew house socks and I decorated the bottom with puff paints. It worked perfectly. No slipping or sliding.
Cool thank. You sharing
No problem. I'm happy to help. Happy New Year!!
You too!✌
How can I covert this pattern to use the German short row method please?
+Melkitty1000 - this video explains that: ruclips.net/video/52qy8OOb-s0/видео.html
can i use the Turkish cast on instead?
+Gavin Webster - no, that cast-on starts you in a different place than the cast-on used in this pattern.
Staci HELP. :) I started the pattern but the toe pattern doesn't start like the video so my toe looks uneven. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
Katrina Vince - I can't tell you if your work is correct or not, but I can assure you that the video shows exactly how the toe is worked. I can't think of why yours might be uneven, unless you got off-count or something. If you're worried about it, you can try again - it doesn't take long to knit the toe. Be sure to use a row counter and follow the pattern, row-by-row.
VeryPink Knits ok. I will undo and follow the video, in the pattern, line one says to go over xx and w&t and then pxx w&t. Then line three is like the video. That is why its uneven I think. will try it again. :) Thanks for the quick reply.
Katrina Vince lol it was an idiot error ... your patterns are always wonderful .. I was knitting the amount I was chaining.
Katrina Vince - the video shows the techniques used in the pattern, but you really have to follow the pattern row-by-row.
