    When you are a newbie, that first heel turn is amazing. Experienced knitters will listen to you pratt on about how exciting it was. They listen because it brings back a little of the thrill they still remember from their first heel turn. Glad to see that whether it is cuff down, or toe up, still an amazing thing. Thank you Very Pink for making an easy to follow tutorial [as always]. The very experienced, knitter who I chatted on about my first heel turn, was a very patient man and I can still see his slight smile and nodding head.

    Thank you so very much for this video, I was able to follow along while using the pattern. I just made my first pair of Toe Up Gusset socks and they came out great! I have been making socks for years, but always stayed away from these as all the patterns I found seemed so confusing- you made it easy and enjoyable, love my new socks!

    I have been knitting socks for about 10 years. I have tried several types of heels. Some are better for different shapes foot. He has a wide leg/ankle. My son says this is the best heel I've ever made for him. He has a wide leg/ankle. It also looks great. Thank you for sharing your tutorial.

  • @simsamsammie
    @simsamsammie 5 лет назад +3

    I love this version of a gusset sock! The toe-up gusset sock patterns I've seen still do a traditional heel flap where you have to pick up stitches along the sides of the flap, which I hate. So glad this pattern is worked in the round the whole way through!

  • @theclageraghty1
    @theclageraghty1 5 лет назад +2

    My solution to wanting to do heel flap socks but having no idea what length of leg my stash yarn would make was to start with a provisional cast-on, knit both heels, feet and toes, then divide the yarn into two balls, pick up the provisional stitches and knit the legs upward. I used Judy's Magic Cast-on as the provisional, putting the cord stitches on a sturdy lifeline to serve as a flexible stitch holder and just starting to knit in the round. I did about an inch of stockinette, tested the fit above my ankle, then did the heel flap etc.
    Thanks for teaching me provisional cast - on! (But I hate picking out the crochet so came up with this instead.)

    Thank you for helping me understand the process involved in the gusset, heel turn, and heel flap which is the way the pattern I’m using is written (not yours, though😕; another time!). I’ve only done top down before and the other toe up video I watched made the heel flap first, then the turn, then picked up for the gusset decrease.
    I like this. TUGS!!!

  • @patriciaheil6811
    @patriciaheil6811 4 года назад

    Thank you! I have seen other toe up socks videos before, some using this cast on, and your video is the first time I could get it to work. Then the first time I tried to go further,, I had the toe inside out. There's a little rib on one side of the cast-on and a little ditch on the other. You have to keep the ditch toward you and then the toe works properly. Then I got to the additions for the gusset. I was using a fingering yarn (leftovers from another project) and my m1s left a lacy pattern. I went back to minute 30 and I am doing the m1 the same way you do so I guess it's just a matter of yarn weight. Third issue: your video was the first one I found that did a good job of demonstrating German short rows. I was finally able to turn a heel this way after knitting dozens of pairs top down from Carol Anderson's Iowa Cruise Sock pattern. I always like learning new skills and your video is a two-fer. THANK YOU!

    Thanks for this video. I've been thinking about trying my hand at socks again as haven't knit any in years. I also like doing them toe-up with Judy's magic cast on but haven't tried with a gusset heel. I also knit them 2 at a time on a large circular so they match and I don't have to keep track of the transitions. To make sure I have enough yarn for both, I divide my skein by balling it into two balls then adjusting them back and forth until they both weigh the same on a kitchen scale (using grams to get the most accuracy) so I don't wind up with a short sock. Thanks again!

    Hi! Thank you so much for making a this beautiful pattern and tutorial for us. Does the German short row include the first stitch (pearl or knit)? For example, if pattern says GSR, P 8, is the pearl right after you slip the first stitch and pull up to make the two stitches count as 1 of the 8? I hope that makes sense. I probably should not be knitting at 11 o clock at night!

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  4 года назад +1

      If you are working from one of my patterns, the GSR and the stitch after it are two different things. Once you complete the GSR, the next stitch listed is the next stitch. If you are working from one of my patterns and you have a question, please email me directly at staci@verypink.com for support.

    I just bought your pattern, and I'm wondering, how do I adapt the pattern for DK weight yarn to make some chunky socks? I have never knit any socks, but your method has sold me on trying. I like that the cast on closes the toe, so no provisional step, and the heel is seamless, and knitting to the top of the sock means you don't have to worry about running out of yarn. Very smart way to do it, and the sock looks really good, the heel isn't sticking out looking weird.

    Hi Staci, I'm following your pattern and have watched the video a few times. I want to confirm that on the Gusset Increases section of the instructions, where you say the "left" side of the foot, that is actually on the top of the foot, the front of the sock. Is that right? I was completely expecting this on the back of the sock so I want to make sure I'm interpreting this correctly. Thank you!

    It's very big, I used the stick size you said and thin sock yarn. How do I go about getting them smaller?

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  4 года назад +1

      You want to match your gauge (stitches per inch) to that listed in the pattern. This pattern calls for 8.5 stitches per inch. If your sock is too big and you are getting fewer than 8.5 stitches per inch, you should use a smaller needle size to get the correct gauge. Then your sock will fit correctly.

  • @chrisonnen1601

      This sock design with the heel flap isn't really ideal for using a different color for the heel, it won't really look right. But if you do want to use a different color, you can knit the "Heel Flap" section in a different color.

      Hi Carla - this heel design isn't ideal for using a contrasting color at the heel, since the color will only show up on the back of the heel. (And there really isn't any way to get anything different with this construction.) But it can be done, just knit the "Heel" section in the other color.

    Is this sock pattern suitable for knitters who have knit cuff up socks previously ,but not toe up socks? Also will you also be having men's sizes available at a future date? I think this is a great pattern which will have a great fit!

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  5 лет назад

      This pattern is suitable for anyone who has knit any kind of socks before...or just has general knitting experience and confidence. To answer your second question - yes, it is likely that I will release this pattern sized for men at some point...I often update patterns like that. If/when I do that, you will get the update for free if you have already purchased the pattern.

    Why not place marker one stich before the last stich so you don't have to keep removing and replacing the marker when decreasing the gusset?

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  5 лет назад

      You'll have to move it anyway, because you need two stitches to work the decrease, and you keep losing a stitch on each row.

    • @Jessica-ux1po
      @Jessica-ux1po 5 лет назад

      @@verypinkknits Yes a stitch is lost... but doesn't the knit 2 tog stitch become the new last heel stitch? Since the number of heel stitches are the same. It would look like: GGH M H M HGG
      And the next row: GH M H M HG
      Where M is marker, G gusset st, and H heel st. Not sure if that makes sense or if it'll just mess up the sock

      If you are experienced using magic loop, you can use it. This pattern isn't written for any specific needle type, aside from using magic loop for the toe, then you can switch to your preferred needle, or stick with magic loop.

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  5 лет назад +1

      You can knit nearly the whole sock on 9" circulars, but the toe is much easier on a long circular, and I think it might be tough to knit the gusset and heel on 9" circulars. But you can knit the foot and cuff (most of the sock) that way.

      @verypinkknits  5 лет назад +1

      Umm...you're talking about slipping every other stitch on the heel flap? Yes, you can do that, but I haven't tried it myself...it might give you a narrower strip of fabric for the heel, and compromise the fit a bit.

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  5 лет назад +3

      I don't recommend contrasting heels...changing color for the heel works better with a sock pattern that does not have a heel flap. (Any short row heel, I have many patterns that use this.) You can, however, use a different color for the toe and ribbed cuff. Just knit the toe section in a different color, that's it. And I give instructions for knitting the ribbed cuff in a different color in the pattern.

      When you're knitting a flat piece, stockinette is made by alternating knit and purl rows. When you're knitting in-the-round (in a tube), stockinette is made by knitting all rounds.
