I know I'm a few years too late. But I actually started a toe up sock by discovering your website. Even decided to watch this video to follow along. You both are doing an outstanding job teaching the world how to knit socks.
Toe-up or cuff-down, whatever the heel construction will it be, the knitting of a heel never stops fascinating me. You are knitting a tube and here comes the heel part - and, bang! Like a magic, the glorious 3D of the heel. Just a pure wonder and joy for me.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing! I use to "throw" but now I am learning your way. Soooo much easier and faster. Less stress on my hands as I age and have more time to knit. Thank you!!
That is my most favourite way to knit socks! As a child I learned a totally different way (starting at the upper side, with heel flap, etc.). But then I read about this method somewhere (in the 1980s or so). Since then I prefer this way (but still try other ways sometimes)
I’m so fascinated with your knitting skills, your wools are beautiful. I know very little about knitting, but if I watch you enough maybe I’ll decide to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your talents 👍❤️😊
I have only been knitting for almost 2 years, tried many different sock patterns :-/ after stumbling across this, it's the only sock pattern I use now :-) thank you so very much!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve just gotten into the sock knitting world and i LOVE your tutorial on this video! Very well explained, and I loved how you made toe up socks and explained the increases!
Thank you for your inspirational video. I do not usually knit by hand and yet your video has really inspired me to have a go at knitting your "easiest sock in the world" pattern.
I just found Arne & Carlos and have binged many of the RUclips videos. I ordered and will receive my first Arne & Carlos book of the "30 Slippers" and should get it today!!! I'm SO grateful to find you. I put one of your RUclips videos on the TV and knit, enjoying your conversations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and your knitting with the world. Best wishes.
My Regia wool and wooden kneedles just arrived, and I am casting on as I watch you guys. I hav3 faith in you, never having knitted a pair of socks before.
Thank you guys for making knitting so accessible!!! I’m very much a novice at knitting and socks just seemed like something so intimidating. Today, I finished a sock using a combination of your three “Easiest Sock in the World” videos and your online sock pattern. I accidentally overshot the size a bit so it’s a bit loose, and made some other errors but it still looks great!!! I’m so happy, I really made a sock!!! It was so enjoyable that I’m looking forward to starting on a pair as soon as I get back to the yarn store!
Could we have a video about casting on the way you do it, please? I find casting on on 1 needle then dividing over 4 needles, then trying not to twist them so difficult when doing a sock starting with cuff. It is my least favourite part and I always dread it. think I will try toe up but I like that you cast on to 4 needles not 1. In this video it is not clear if you need to place the needles a particular way etc. It would be great to be talked through it. Thanks Arne & Carl x
you're so good!!! i'm trying purl like you like a week and i can't do it fast as you 😭 hahahaha I'm from Brazil and just found your videos and I loved it. I'd love to knit with you, I don't know men that knit here, most of all because my country sucks...
He is fast because he is using the technique of wrapping the thread around is left index finger instead of picking up the thread for every single stitch as most Americans do
I LOVE you guys! I've made a sock before but it was a large Christmas sock. I didn't knit it in the round and I connected it up the back. This video is excellent and I love learning how to truly make a real sock! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Arne and Carlos, I have a question, I couldn't quite see what happened after Arnes knitted the contrasting red yarn as a marker for the heel insert. Should I knit over the heel marker with the main sock yarn. Oh yes! I think I have the answer already. Your socks Rock! Btw.
Thank you for your inspiring work. Can you comment on whether it is possible to knit socks or mittens on magic loop needles or circular needles rather than DPN's? Thank you!
I have always knit socks top down, after watching this video, I am going to knit a pair toe up this winter. Thank you. Loving your podcast and these short videos. All the best to you both.
Great work guys! I will sent all our sockknitting customers to you. They will be thrilled to see you knit with your magnificent sockyarn and will break another sellingrecord in our shop Wolhalla. Hugs from Jo An from Holland.
You were right Arne, it is a cuff rather than a hem. (I am English, by the way) We have cuffs around our wrists too (on our jumpers and cardigans) I have only heard the word hem used in reference to sewing, not knitting or crochet. I hope that helps.
Thanks, Kelly, for your clarification. I always cheer when Arne gets a word right. Both Carlos and Arne speak amazing English. I am astounded by Carlos' colloquial expressions.
Hi. I haven't attempted my first sock yet. I'm quite scared! But you make it look so easy and I love your style of knitting. Continental I believe. Thank you.
+Karen Spencer Karen, search on the internet for Regia Design Line by Arne & Carlos. You will surely find the yarns. If not, go to www.wolhalla.com. We will be happy to serve you.
Wonderful video. Wonderful socks. And you picked such a beautiful place to sit and knit... You inspired me to do the same. I have not gotten to the point where I feel courageous enough to knit socks yet. Mainly because working with four needles looks difficult and intimidating to me. I don't know if you have done this already, but if you haven't, do you think you could do a special on how to work with four needles? Which one goes on top, which one goes at the bottom, how to prevent stitches from sliding off, how to hold all four at the same time. It all seems so daunting to me...
Howling Wind, I have terrible arthritis in both hands and do not find it difficult to knit with four needles. That's because at any one time, you are knitting on only two needles. It's in the way that we observe, and the ACTUAL way we knit. You'd have to do it to realize what I mean. Nothing wrong with magic loop, though.
I’m a little confused by the extra yarn after you knit the red placeholder for the heel..I know you will get a loop when you pick up the knitting at the other side but do you leave a specific amount. Thank you for all of your videos, patterns and information!
In India no man can knit. Knitting is not liked by gents. They only do their own jobs.., I surprised when I see you knitting the first time. So are so hardworking and interesting.. Both of you... I like ❤u and your job
I love the idea of putting in a lifeline I have to try this pair of socks I’m knitting with one from the top down and the other from the toe up and see how they look together I did not do Christmas socks this year for the grandchildren that I’m thinking about starting now since it’s January and working all the socks and putting in a lifeline when I get the measurement of their foot . Only the two great grandchildren are still growing so I can do theirs last then we will have a picture of everyone sitting in front of the fireplace with their socks on except for me I can’t sit on the floor thank you for your videos I really enjoy watching you every day as I am still playing catch-up on your different videos.
Hi, I am getting ready to start my first sock. Here in the US I haven't been able to find a good quality store bought sock like the ones I bought in Germany. I want a sturdy sock to wear with boots in the winter ( with a little bit of crochet edging). I've seen videos using a lighter worsted weight rather than fingering (sock) weight. What weight is good for thick(ish) boot socks and what is the best composition for stretch, durability, and washing?
Hej, very beautiful socks! Thank you for the video. I am a beginner knitter, and I would love to make socks as my first knitwork.. would you have tutorial for beginners about knitting only?
I’d love a show that highlights the various methods of holding yarn to knit. I like to learn continental but don’t quite get how to hold tension with the left hand.
Witam🤗 znowu jestem mile zaskoczona .Piękny krajobraz 2 fantastycznych chłopaków i piękne wasze wyroby rzemiosło ręczne .Wyroby z wełen są śliczne .👍👍👍Pozdrawiam i czekam na pokaz jak zrobić rękawiczki .🐑
I can't imagine a hole in the toe and one on the heel. I love Judy's Magic Cast On. No seaming, no extra fabric that makes a pressure point. Still, you have some very interesting shows.
Can you use regular 4 ply yarn or do you specifically need sock yarn? How many ounces for each pair of socks? You two do a great job knitting without a pattern.
I want to knit your sock pattern with Regia 6 ply Design Line by Arne and Carlos! Do I follow this pattern of toe up? Also, the size converters that you share refer to a 4 ply yarn, not the 6 ply of your Design Line. How I convert to accommodate for the 6 ply? I want to do a size 44 sock for my son-in-law. I am accustomed to doing top down. Thanks for your help.
kelly SHERRARD the yarn brand is REGIA. This particular yarn is the REGIA Design Line designed by ARNE & CARLOS (yours truly). It's available all over.
Regia 6-ply label says it is #3 DK weight. But I thought DK was an 8-ply. Do you use a 4 or 8 ply sock pattern for this yarn? Do you have a pattern and/or video tutorial for this yarn? Thank you.
hello, i just learned how to cast on the easy way using four dpn 's thanks to Carlos and now i'm finished with the first round of 16 stitches but am wondering if you can tell me which increase you used so i can look it up and learn how to do it, thanks for your videos.👍
I just received my Regia Sock yarn (kids) and am ready to cast on my first ever pair of socks. But.....I have ordered circular needles in size 2.25 instead of 2.5. I am so eager to start these cute socks but am afraid the yarn might not knit up correctly with the smaller needles. Please advise if possible. Thank you !
The yarn is designed to knit up well over a number of needle sizes - we are talking about a microscopic difference in the stitch size - don't worry, you will be fine! Enjoy!!
I did it! I finally did it! I knit a sock! Thanks, you two!
But you need TWO socks 😉
I know I'm a few years too late. But I actually started a toe up sock by discovering your website. Even decided to watch this video to follow along. You both are doing an outstanding job teaching the world how to knit socks.
Thank you Nicole!

My goal this year is watching you until I can knit your style and make socks. Love your show.
That is a great goal and a very doable one!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing! I use to "throw" but now I am learning your way. Soooo much easier and faster. Less stress on my hands as I age and have more time to knit. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
OMG knitting in such a peaceful environment. . you guys are amazing love your socks.. you both knocked my socks off. Hahaha a little pun intended
That is my most favourite way to knit socks! As a child I learned a totally different way (starting at the upper side, with heel flap, etc.). But then I read about this method somewhere (in the 1980s or so). Since then I prefer this way (but still try other ways sometimes)

I'm a total beginner, so this didn't make much sense to me, but I was still watching on in awe! This is awesome!
Having been knitting for about 65 years I discovered the small circular needle about 2 years ago so much easier than 4-5 needles! Do try it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve just gotten into the sock knitting world and i LOVE your tutorial on this video! Very well explained, and I loved how you made toe up socks and explained the increases!
You are welcome Ashley!
Stumbled on your video by mistake, so pleased that I did. I subscribed. Thanks guys for your vids.
Now I really miss knitting in nature! You two are inspirational, thank you.
Go Nature knitting!
This is how I do my socks now. :) You gentlemen are so wonderful to watch!
Thank you Susan!

Cristiano Speransa Bom dia. That’s not what I heard. I heard it is very beautiful.
What beautiful socks. Very nice. I think I will try them, they will be my first socks. Thank you so much.
love to watch you cast on its just like me. I never realized how spiked those first rows
Thank you so much, what a wonderful way to do the heel, I saw the same used to do the thumb on a mitten. You are such a great help, thanks again.
Can't wait to get started on my socks, you guys are awesome
Hallo from Colorado, USA! Danke schön für die schöne Wolle und die heel tips! xoxo
Theyre not German
Most Europeans speak a handful of languages. My late hubby was German but understood many more as long as they were not Romance languages.
This great setup instantly put a smile on my face :). I was looking for a new method to knit the heel. Thank you!
Thank you for taking this time to teach us.
You are welcome!
Great socks and colorful beautiful yarn
thank you for your kind words!
If I could knit that fast I'd stop buying socks and go into business for myself! You guys are great... HAPPY NEW YEAR.
He is fast because he is using the technique of wrapping the thread around is left index finger instead of picking up the thread for every single stitch as most Americans do
Lovely to see people still knit these traditionally, I can't and it's easier for me to use 2 circular needles and knit toe up with Turkish cast on
First time to see your videos, WOW! You make it so simple. I subscribed immediately! Love it! Forever a fan, Karen
I love that heel because if need be you could quite easily re-do the entire heel.
I LOVE you guys! I've made a sock before but it was a large Christmas sock. I didn't knit it in the round and I connected it up the back. This video is excellent and I love learning how to truly make a real sock! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

How did I not know about your videos before. I love you guys. :) I've watched a bunch of videos while knitting.
Какие красивые носки!Молодцы ребята!Я в восторге.Спасибо за мастер-класс.
What a gorgeous place you live in! XXOO
Love watching you as I knit 🥰
Thank you Cathy!

A lovely interesting video I’ve yet to try sock knitting maybe have a go after I’ve finished my blanket
Yes, socks are an easy and rewarding project to start.
Thank you! Love you both!
Thanks for these videos! They are so helpful!
You are a magician! You knit so fast.... I would be losing those needles all the time.
It is not about speed!
Hi. I haven't attempted my first sock yet. I'm quite scared! But you make it look so easy and I love your style of knitting. Continental I believe. Thank you.
My mother used duo knit Norwegian, so she wouldn't have to look down from whatever she was doing while she was knitting.
How did I miss this? I'm 2 years late! ACK! BTW I LOVE the easiest sock in the world!
Easy to understand! Many Thanks!
You are welcome!
I just found You two and I love You.
This is SO GREAT! Thank you!
You guys are great, thanks!!!
Circular needles are so easy!
Such lovely socks. My best regards to you both from Russia.
Hi Russia!
I love your socks and have bought the patterns, what I need to know is how to cast off when making a toe up sock.
I live your yarn.
Thanks for the tutorial! I want to come sit and knit with you both there. So beautiful!.....Vicki
We are very grateful! You should join us on Wednesdays for our new podcast Sit and Knit for a Bit!
I’m knitting socks too!
A bit slow here...now starting to knit these. Loving it.

Because of rheumatoid arthritis I'm not able to manipulate multiple needles would you consider doing a video on knitting with 2 needles? Cheers!

Hi Ophelia, we have done several tutorials on this. You will find it on our channel site.
@@ARNECARLOS thanks! I found the video on lifted increases
I think I missed the point about the heel. You put the red stitches in and continue in the first yarn? Is it like and afterthought heel?
I’m in the process of knitting my first sock with short circulars. Haven’t reach the heel yet but dpns make me hyperventilate.
I just received my Regia Sock yarn (kids) and am ready to cast on my first ever pair of socks. But.....I have ordered circular needles in size 2.25 instead of 2.5. I am so eager to start these cute socks but am afraid the yarn might not knit up correctly with the smaller needles. Please advise if possible. Thank you !
The yarn is designed to knit up well over a number of needle sizes - we are talking about a microscopic difference in the stitch size - don't worry, you will be fine! Enjoy!!
