Lets learn to knit socks two at a time using the Magic Loop Method of knitting in the round!
(Cuff down, two at a time, with a heel flap and gusset)
In this tutorial I will show you the method for how I knit socks two at a time on the same needle. I will go over how to split your cake of yarn to get started, yarn management - how to best avoid a mess of twisted and tangled yarn, and also how to keep both socks on the same needles while doing the heel section.
Below is a list of supplies that I used in this tutorial.
Supplies Needed/used in this tutorial:
- Fingering weight yarn: I used the Summer Sock Camp Colorway 2020 by Desert Vista Dyeworks. This colorway is no longer available but she has some amazing Colorways in her shop! www.desertvistadyeworks.com/
- US 1/2.25mm 40" circular knitting needle: amzn.to/2P5LPtd
- Scale (for splitting yarn into 2 even cakes): amzn.to/39H2oFw
- Lightbulb stitch markers: amzn.to/307GKXD
Times for the tutorial (if you want/need to skip ahead!)
- Caking/Splitting your yarn: 2:28
- Cuff #1: 7:43
- Cuff #2: 15:15
- Leg: 20:16
- Heel Section: 31:36

![How to knit socks two at a time [toe-up or top-down]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YC5w6i_Umqw/mqdefault.jpg)
Kay, you're a born teacher....I should know....I taught for 37 yrs. :-)
Hi Kay tutorial. Thank you. Very clear. I put remove able stitch markers between the socks so I don’t knit the socks together..lesson I learned the hard way. I also put a marker on sock #1 so I don’t get lost😉
Kay's patterns and tutorials are so easy to follow. I was a frustrated sock knitter until I found Kay. I successfully knitted a pair of socks in her Austin Sock pattern using the two at a time method. I'll continue to use this method for knitting socks in the future.
Sure, as long as you have enough time for all the unnecessary stuff. I just ff until she actually starts the tutorial - almost 12 min in.
Nope. Almost 17 min.
Finally feeling brave enough to try two at a time socks I have two balls of knit picks felici so I'm so glad you have this video!
Your tip to put the cakes in a little bag and just flip every time was everything!! It made all the difference! Thank you so much!
I've been following this tutorial for 5 days now, coming back to it when I'm not sure what to do next and I can now proudly say that I've passed picking up my gusset stitches! Such a good tutorial! I'll be coming back to it, because the part about how to turn the bag/needles so the yarns don't get twisted was just too much for me to learn while also learning a new skill, haha. I started out with good intentions, but I decided to just go with it and untangle my yarn from time to time.
I don't think I will ever knit socks one at a time again, because I get second sock syndrome terribly.
Definitely gonna try this since I’m notorious for completing one sock. Maybe now I can whip up some actual pairs of socks... lol!! 😁
Omigosh Kay, thank you!! Been searching high & low for a tutorial on heel flap, gusset 2x. You are the sock Queen!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally I don’t have to take one sock off the needles to work on the heel! You are the best! Thank you so much ❤
Nice explanation of this process, two at a time, explained really nicely and CLEARLY. This was my first time watching a video on two at a time socks. I had no interest because in my mind that was just too much. Annnd, I'm still working on mastering one at a time socks, particularly knee highs. I like knee highs for the winter. But turns out when you've been blessed with the right teacher, the process is easier than one thought. I feel like that if I wanted right now I can do two at a time right now. But everything has its time and I will surely refer right back to this tutorial. Thank you very much. And happy moving whenever that shall be. And a blessed Holiday Season and a blessed balance of the year
John 3:16-18.
I have been eagerly waiting for this tutorial! I just decided to try my hand at two-at-a-time socks.
I just started knitting, I started with socks because that’s what convinced me to kit as a crocheter & I thought this could be so much harder then it is!!! I’m excited for my next pair
Best tutorial for taat socks! Love doing the cuffs this way. Thank you!!
I've always wanted to try two at a time socks. This was such an inspiring podcast I cast on and started a pair of socks. Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you!! Thank you!!
I have studied several (SEVERAL) videos on how to do this and yours is the best. Thank you again.
THANK YOU! This is just what I was looking for! I want to keep my 2 socks on one cable the whole time. I needed to understand how to knit the gussets this way. Again, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this easy to understand tutorial Kay! You are fabulous!
Wow, you make this so much easier. I love the idea of starting one cuff, then doing the other. Excellent tutorial!
Thank you for your hint about how to gauge how much yarn to use for the cast on. I tried it and it was perfect. I love tips and tricks from successful knitters.
I use the same method for turning your needles in opposite directions but when I finish with the yarn for each sock I drop it in the front of each sock so when you turn your yarn is already in the back. Great tutorial!!!
I just finished my first pair of 2AAT socks thanks to you! Thank you for the awesome tutorial 😊
Just the tutorial I was looking for! I needed to see the logistics of the two at a time without needing specific knitting instructions! Bonus that you’re a continental knitter because yarn management can differ slightly! Off to check out your channel now! :)
I love the idea of completing each cuff separately then putting them on the cable. I think it would also work well for toe up. Just complete the toe separately then put them together on the circular. Thank you so much for this.
As a knitter who casts on with my thumb I was struggling to cast on doing TAAT on the long cable. Thankfully I found this and realised I can start them separately and then transfer. Also my name is Kay too!
Awesome!!
I appreciated your tutorial-thank you so much for sharing your helpful, thorough, practical ideas & methods of keeping track of the yarns-I’m motivated to “try” to make my first pair of socks at one time on 40” cable!!!
You read my mind! Looking forward to making my first pair of socks on one circular. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this variation! I am an inexperienced but adventurous knitter who can seldom finish a project without either ripping it all out or ripping down to a lifeline. With this cable-dpn-cable method, I don’t have to tear out both socks when I screw something up. The added plus is that I can establish a rhythm before the two socks end up on the circular needle. I think this method is just so inventive. Thank you!
Thank you, Kay, you're the fairy godmother to my first socks ever 😁
Definitely makes me want to make more socks now that I have conquered the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome
Thanks for this video! I almost always do two at a time socks, toe up or cuff down but I had never really taken the time to figure out the heel flap and gusset without separating them on two different needles. This was very helpful!
Thank you for creating/sharing this video! I'm still looking for the perfect method to do socks. I think heel flap/gusset will fit me best and couldn't find a tutorial to do them this way. I'm starting a pair now for my dad using this technique. So excited!! Your video is super clear and very helpful from beginning to end.
Thanks so much for the great video! I'm doing your SSC for the first time this year and just started a pair of socks for a friend and wanted to do them TAAT with one of your patterns and this is a total game change for me!! So excited...I'm already half-way through the first cuff. Thanks again!
I’ve watched this video a few times. I think I’m ready!
Heel toe do so do is a favorite pattern of mine. I’ve made a few pairs of socks with after thought heels.
Love the tutorial Kay. Clear instructions.
HI Kay!,!
WAS really looking forward to this tutorial!,,,
THANKS SO MUCH,
IT was GREAT!
Hope I can manage it with UR Help!
Have the right size needle now,,,,,and going to give it a try!!
Loving all these tutorials,,,and summer sock camp!!!
Elaine🏡🏡🏡🏡
Thank you for this clear and easy way to do this - I really appreciate your work!
Thank you so much for this, Kay! Amazing tutorial.
Thanks, I was just looking for it on youtube. Lots of greetings from the Czech.
Uh-Mazing tutorial! I will be finishing up my second sock ever todaaaay (Wooo! Yeaaahh!🥳) and I use this same heel flap and gusset style pattern on them. This tutorial makes so much sense and I am so inspired to do my next pair at the same time! I was just talking to my knitting gals about 2 at a time last week! I am so excited to tell them today that I saw this video and am so ready for my next socks to be 2 at a time!! Let's Goooooo! ✌🧦🧶🤩🙌🙌🙌
Great video, so useful for preparing to make my firse set of socks taat.
One thing I have been doing is leaving a stitch marker in the middle of my excess cable, eg for the heel, so that it can slip all the way down but I can bring it back without counting :)
Fantastic tutorial. Clear, easy to follow......loved it. Thank you so much. Now to cast on my second pair of Heels Toes Do Si Dos!
❤️❤️❤️
I just tried this and it worked! Thank you for an amazing tutorial
I am going to try this have been wanting to do this for a couple of years🙂
after watching this video i will try 2 at a time again, i think doing the cuff separate is the answer for me. thanks for posting
Excellent tutorial and tips!!!
Fabulous Kay! I have always taken the heels off and worked separately....so helpful!! :0)
Awesome. I have learned so much. Wow. It made so much sense.
Such an amazing video tutorial, thank you!
Fabulous video tutorial! I love it and have already downloaded your pattern and subscribed to your channel 🤗❤️
I just found out your 2 at a time tutorial. It now makes so much sense! Now to get some self striping yarn! Ou any yarn…lol
Thanks for this. I like to the the afterthought heel. I will do them separately after i knit the socks
Now i am ready to try this method .
GREAT tutorial!
Great tutorials. Thank you so much
Perfect. Thank you so much! Beautiful everything ...:)
Great video and helpful tips thanks.
Hello from Mounds Illinois and I hope that you and your family are well.
I’ve tried n tried, but your video looks like it might be the one. Going to wind up some yarn and give it a try. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to do this video. * much appreciated *
Yay!!! Let me know how it goes!! ❤️
Okay, I had to get back with you. I did my cuffs yesterday and started the legs. I’m doing it!!!!! I’m soooo excited. I just love to knit but I bore easily. I start one sock with the thoughts of the next and I have to try new yarn. This is exactly what I needed. Your video is so clear cut and yo the point. Thank you so very much. ❤️
If I were doing contrast heels, would I end in the same place as normal when doing taat?
I’m very excited to try this method because I have yet to successfully knit two socks back to back that are the same size. 😂😅
I love your tutorials. I always learn something new.
Thank you for sharing it’s clear Thanks God bless you
Hi Kay. I am a newbie for your channel. Love it btw. I still cannot do it on the stupid magic loop. I have tried soooo many times. Good job. Also. Love your sock pattern. So pretty!
One key - keep needles pointing to the right. That one tip changed everything for me! From an experienced knitter, it was a Godsend.
I like how you separate the two cuffs and transfer them. Great idea!
I like how you do the cuffs separately starting out. I tried the other way and had to rip everything out. Can’t wait to try this. It’s so hot in Washington state I’m not doing much knitting...no air conditioning.
Got it now! Just got brain in gear! 😊
I think I can do this! Your videos are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you for continuing to record them. BTW, what size bag are you using? The small or the large?
Great tutorial. I need to try to see if doing the cuffs one at a time will lessen the frustration for the first few rows :P I actually knit both heel flaps at the same time. But the heel turns and and first half of the gusset stitches I do like you do.
3:53 I suddenly feel fortunate for having been gifted two skeins from the same dye lot (I would never *buy* two skeins for one pair of socks, but I do not have the patience to wind my skein into half-cakes, so I'd probably end up pulling one from the center and one from the outside, and therefore having the stripes go in opposite directions)😅
Happy Scrappy Sunday 😊 Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial! I love to tip about putting the cakes in a project bag. Which size bags do you use for your TAAT socks?
thank you
Using this tutorial I’ve just started my first ever TAAT socks, I’m very excited! I just wondered why you don’t use this method right now when making socks? Do you prefer working one at a time? Thanks!❤
Thank you so much for this. It’s going to help me so much. 1 thing though u mentioned decreases on the instep needles. We only decrease the gusset stitches though - right? Also when u cast on only cast on 1/2 the first sock stitches all of the second sock turn then do the rest of the 1st sock stitches. There r videos explaining it better than my description. I love ur videos!!!
I’ve always been scared of doing heel flap and heel turn but your tutorial makes it seem so easy. I’ve bought your vanilla pattern and I’m going to give the two at a time method a go. I’ve done two at a time toe up with a German short row heel. Excited to do sock knitting again
Thank you for excellent tutorials! I've just started my first pair of socks and thought, "why not go for it" and do two at a time. Your instructions are very helpful.
I'm at the gusset decreases and find working the N2s cumbersome with so many stitches (I'm making a large size sock). I've tried redistributing some stitches to N1 and that helps but is there a slicker method?
This all looks so clear now , I think can do it now, but one question . Why work both heel flaps at the same time too?
Do you have a tutorial on the twisted cuff you did on these socks? I just started knitting about a year ago, and I am barely on my second set of socks. I so much want to knit more and that cuff is beautiful!
It is so much less fiddley to do your cuffs at least 5 rounds first so you have something to hold onto as well as orient you. Thank you for sharing! Xo
Came here just to see how to do the heels two at at time! Thank you, it was very clear!
Your tutorial is great and so clear. I have one question, why not knit both heel flaps at the same time?
I would love written instructions for this. PRETTY PLEASE!
I think what I was doing wrong 10 yrs ago was that I was trying to do the heel flap on the 2nd sock first. Or I was trying to do both flaps together and when I got to the turning I was in the middle and couldn't get needle n yarn in the right position.
😊 👧 💖 👏💟süperr video!
I put a light bulb stitch marker on my cable as I work the heels. It marks where the cable loop should be on the sock in waiting in case the loop disappears due to my inattention.
Do you start the decreases right after you pick up the first of the second set of gusset stitches or after you've picked up all gusset stitches and are working in the round again?
I wish you had also explained the cast on method for two at a time on magic loop for enquiring minds. Cast on 32 stitches for first sock then 64 for second. Then pull loop out at 32 stitches second sock and cast on last 32 for first sock. That makes it clearer as to why you wanted to move the first cuff to dpns etc.
Sorry! It’s not something that I enjoyed doing when I’ve done it before, so I do it this way. With that I’m not proficient in casting on in the other manner and honestly didn’t feel comfortable enough with it to explain it. This video is just going over the method that I use for two at a time socks. ❤️
@@CrazySockLady really I just meant to have you mention why it feels so fiddly at the beginning not show it. Love your videos.
This video is great appreciated. But I admit to being disappointed in not have the cuffs done as well. They may be a bit fiddley, but I sure would like to have to seen how it is done. Otherwise, I feel like I'm still not getting the full picture of TAAT. Having said that, the rest is truely great. I'm back (this is my 2nd time watching). It's a very good video.
Do you cast on and finish the whole cuff when you are doing different color cuffs?
How do you join the first row of the cast on sock when casting on using the 40” circular needle? My mind has gone blank!! Thanks
Great vid, Kay. Just waiting... to receive a sick yarn order from Desert Vista to knit along with you. Hoping I can make a pair that will actually stay on someone’s feet. ! Will go down to size 0 and 60 stitches my next set!!! Are there any secrets I don’t know about avoiding baggy socks??
Sigh... sock yarn...
No big secret, you just have to find the cast on and needle size that works to give you the best fit. Finding your perfect fit can be a bit of trial and error!!
Thank you!!! But how do you avoid ladders in magic loop
Pull tighter on the 2nd stitch on the needle.
Kay, thank you for this tutorial on two-at-a-time socks. It was so helpful! What brand is about your ball/cake winder? It seems to offer great tension that mine does not. Thank you!!
Hey Rita! It’s a Stanwood. I love it! If you look below the video I have a link for amazon and within that I have the Stanwood ball winder linked that I have. Hope that helps! ❤️
What brand of thread do you use, please!
I am looking forward to learning to knit two at a time! My question is...do you have a reason that you knit the cuff on the 40" and then transfer it, then transferring it back to the 40"? Would you knit the cuff on same size dpn's and then transfer the cuff to the 40'? That would be only one transfer per cuff. I have never done it before so I am just curious.
It’s just my preferred method of doing it. 🧶
How did I end up backwards after finishing the heel flap? My needles are both facing to my right (RS).
I need to ask a ? When doing you gusset decrease if I got this the first round you decrease on one side then do both on the next round, then you skip(knit all) the next? I'm on my last sock and I'm afraid I'm not going to Finnish it.
I place the beginning of my round in the center of the heel turn. 1st round is a decrease, 2nd round is plain knit round.
Как жаль что нет русского перевода. Вы очень талантлевы Золотые ручки
Hi Kay,
Do you have written instructions for two at a time on magic loop on same needle? I am on my second pair of socks following your instructions, but I would like it to be written out. I have the The Vanilla Sock pattern printed out, but would like two at a time written out. You make is so simple. I am willing to pay for it. Thanks so much Chris
Nope, I do not have two at a time instructions written out. You’re just doing the counts from the vanilla sock pattern, none of that has changed. And then I go through each step for two at a time in this tutorial. 🧶 🧦
@@CrazySockLady I just got confused with the marker in the heel. Thank you for answering me. That is helpful. Chris
What is that device for splitting up the skein into two separate cakes?
No specific device for splitting them into cakes. I have a yarn winder and Swift. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring too. They are linked within the Amazon link below the video. ❤️
Can you send me the link for the bag please.
Where did you get the scale for weighing yarn?
It’s linked via the amazon link below the video. 🙂
