I just finished my very first knit project watching this video!!!! My very first sock (: I’m crying the most joyful tears! Thank you so much for making such a beautiful and easy to follow video (((: I’m so thankful you’ve decided to share your expertise with us
Wonderful tutorial ! Thank you so much ! I have 4 socks made to the heel- I was stuck until I watched your video ! I am 70 years old and I am learning to make my first pair ! Thank you again ! Well done !!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶🧶
Im a beginner knitter and i was so scared of DPNs but I hate magic circle, watched your tutorial and immediately succeeded at casting on my very first socks ! 🤩
I haven't finished my first sock yet but I just had to tell you : this is the best tutorial I've come across so far ! The instructions are so clear and the whole video is very easy to follow, thank you sooooo much for making this available to us humble beginners 💜 you are such an amazing teacher !
Agree with previous comment. This is the best tutorial on sock knitting! Just started this pattern and so grateful. I have always wanted to knit socks with dpns but found it too intimidating until now. Thank u so much!
I finished my first sock thanks to you!! It's not perfect, I messed up a lot. But I'm still very happy! My family have started asking for socks and I haven't even finished my own pair haha. Thank you so much! The pattern was easy to follow too especially with the explanations in it. ❤
Just finished my second sock and I'm delighted! They're uneven in terms of foot length with the odd mistake here and there, but hopefully they will be the first of many pairs. Thank you so much for your informative and descriptive tutorial!
Thank you so much for such a good tutorial! I am a starter with knitting socks and I have just finished my first one with you! You are a very good teacher, I will definitely also watch your magic loop instruction for socks knitting. The book by Ann Budd “Getting started knitting socks” was also helpful for me. Off I go to my second sock! 🙏🧶🪡
Thank you so much. Trying to learn to do socks and I prefer using 4 dpn and most tutorials are for using 5 dpn so was thrilled to find you showing socks on three dpn. Great instructing. Thanks so much.
I am making mittens with 4 needles and I kept getting a large gap when joining the round. Your video helped me out a lot with getting me set up. It looks so much better now. Thank you even though I am not knitting socks ;)
This is such a great tutorial. I've knitted on dpns before (fingerless mittens, fairly basic) but have always been a bit intimidated by socks. Thanks to this video, last night I turned my first heel, picked up the stitches and started on the decreases. To say I am obsessed is an understatement. Thanks for the time you've put into this :-)
Thank you for this very clear instructional video. You've been given a gift for teaching. I especially love the use of only 4 dpn's along with the many sizes in the pattern as well as using sock yarn for the class.🤩.
OMG thank you sooo much for this tutorial! I just started learning knitting and this is my first project. When I finished my sock after 2 weeks, I’m so moved! It actually fits me perfectly!! (I casted on 40 stitches with a thicker yarn) I’m gonna go ahead and make the second sock now but this tutorial has literally taught me how to use DPN and decreasing. Such a great tutorial!!! Thank you for sharing the craft! ❤❤❤
WOW! Thank you ! I made a beautiful pair of socks. Your tutorial was so easy to follow and loved how you explained everything so easily. Thank you again.
fantastic tutorial thank you so much :) i've been wanting to make socks for years and always found it so daunting but this made it so much clearer! looking forward to seeing how they turn out
thank you so much for this tutorial!! i’m a beginner knitter and a pair of socks will be my second ever project, i tried with my stitches on 4 needles but it was too fiddly and i have been so happy that i’ve been able to do it so far using 3 with such clear instructions. i haven’t quite completed my first one yet but i’m looking forward to finishing it and beginning my second :)
Great tutorial , I have passed it along to several new knitters after they saw the socks I made ( I was wearing them) from this tutorial and I made well fitting shorty socks
I'm getting ready to try my first pair of socks, and wondered what length DPNs you recommend for a beginner. Thanks in advance for your answer, and a BIG THANKS for this great tutorial!! 😊
Thank you for the tutorial! I followed the same as you but I stopped a little shorter on accident with the foot so it doesn’t fit me but! I have learned how to make a sock and with my knowledge the leftover yarn is going to make a pair of baby socks:)
I always cast on all my stitches onto two needles held together as one, afterwards take one needle out. This way the stiches don't get too tight and the first row is much easier to knit. I distribute the stitches over the other three needles afterwards.
I JUST FINISHED MY SOOOOOOCK !!!! 🤩I'm so happy !I follow my own written tutorial because I'm using an heavier yarn but luckily it was using the same techniques as you in this video, also I first tried magic loop and it wasn't working, I couldn't keep a constant tension.
Making my first sock and was not sure how long to make my cuff. So I weighed it! I've used 8g of my 48g skein for the first two 2in. So I can hopefully knit another 10, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to start the heel NOW bc my foot is 9in long 😅
Thank you Nerdy Knitter! Until I found this helpful video, I was so struggling with the heal thingy . Now I have a completed sock. Time for other one to finish the pair. xoxoxoxo
hey , I'm from Bangladesh and I'm trying to learn knitting but where i live sock yarn isn't really available so I'm just using skewer sharpened on both sides and some basic thick yarn , but I even tho I don't have the suplies i still wanna learn, and i hope this vdo will be helpful. and someday maybe I'll get some real suplies to make things properly .
Liked the vid only wached the beginning for now as following a different pattern.Just came here to see a different version by someone else.Only thing missing here was how to hold wool when get starting knitting after cast on
I have watched many videos using both dp needles and magic loop. Your video on using dps is the easiest to follow although the process is definitely fiddly! I have tried learning continental style which looks easier for THIS process but my left hand is not cooperating 😢 I will follow this video today using my throwing method and hope for the best. What length and brand dps are you using? I have bamboo and metal needles…found the metal quite slippery. Thanks for the video.. I will like and subscribe 😊❤
Love the video except for one frustrating thing. Saying stop 10 times when coming to stop the short row. I wanted to see you do the slip slip knit and every time I tried to get to it I had to endure stop 10 times at the short row.
Casting on around two needles instead of one can help if you find yourself casting on too tightly. Slid onge needle out after youre done casting on. You can also cast on with a needle one ir two sizes larger. Another way to close the gap is to cast on anextra stitich and knit the first and last stitches together.
Yes - the pattern would work for any needle configuration - it's just that some of the instructions will have references to the stitches on Needle 1 or Needle 2. As long as you are comfortable with adjusting that information to 9" circulars you shouldn't have any trouble.
I purchased the pattern but three hours later I still haven't received it yet. Great video, looking forward to having the pattern so I can figure out my size. I'm feeling pretty frustrated with the pattern not being delivered yet. Can't wait to try out making these socks!
@@NerdyKnitting I did! I even got the receipt email that said I'd receive another email to get the pattern. I emailed the place for help as well, but I've only received an automated response so far.
Can you send me an email at hello@toniaknits.com with the email address you used to make the purchase and let me know if you ordered directly on TH-cam or if you purchased from the website. Once I have that info I should be able to get it straightened out. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!
@@NerdyKnitting Thank you! It finally arrived at 4am. It wasn't an instant download but it is here. Yay! We're good now. Thank you so much for checking in. Now I'm off to make some socks. Have an amazing weekend! 🧶❤
@@NerdyKnitting the panic Is daunting when looking at the heel thinking.. hmm is that in the right place, but as the sock grows the heel sets itself into place and the sigh of relief is overwhelming LOL 😇😳❤🤓
I am a starting sock knitter and for me the heelflap is to long in every pattern. I also see it in this video.....36 rows for the heelflap! Who has such long heels?....or do i have weird feet?
Each size has a different number of rows - I have a large foot so I was knitting a larger size in this tutorial. Smaller sizes will have fewer rows. Also, you can work fewer rows in the heel flap if you need a shorter one - very easy to adjust (you'll have to change the number of stitches you pick up for the gusset).
@@NerdyKnitting Thanks for replying..... I want to knit socks but for some reason it doesnt work out. Question.....Does the heelflap has to be square? I started with 56 stitches....heelflap over 28 stitches and the pattern said 28 rows. But when I took them on the heelflap/heelturn dangles about half an inch under my foot. So can I do the heelflap over 28 stitches with lesser rows?
Yes, you can definitely do that - the only thing you'll have to be aware of is the number of gusset stitches you'll be picking up after the heel turn. Since your heel flap is shorter you can't pick up as many stitches (the general guideline is to pick up a stitch along each edge for every TWO rows in the heel flap). So keep track of how many rows you knit and pick up half that number of stitches along each side for the gusset. Then just decrease the gusset stitches as instructed until you're back to your starting stitch count.
@@NerdyKnitting Ohh...thanks! I thought that because my pattern said 28 stitches/28 rows I thought this was rule it always had to be thesame number. I am gonna knit 24 rows now over 28 stitches...hopefully that will work out fine. Have a blessed day.
I am just a beginner with double pointed needles. I cannot figure out how to join in the round 20:08. Your suggestions on how to hold the needles while joining makes it too complicated to understand. You need to make powerpoint graphs to show which needle goes where when joining. Your explanation needs to be more simplified for an absolute beginner like myself to understand. I have tried to make the sock in this tutorial more than 10 times and could not follow your instructions.
I just bought the pattern, which was not cheap of lovecrafts. All I got was basic instructions enlarged over 2 pages, which I could of got else where for free. Your video is great, but the pattern is basic and not worth the £5.85 I spent. It does not tell you how to adjust for a better fit. Its ends with graft rem stitches not saying how to. For a beginner sock maker this pattern is poorly done and just gives basics of a sock.
I'm sorry you weren't pleased with your purchase. The video and pattern are targeted at beginners so it is supposed to be just a basic pattern for those who are new to sock knitting. Instructions for grafting are included. Again, I'm sorry it wasn't what you expected.

I’ve been knitting since I was a teenager and Ive NEVER been taught how to use the cast on method for the tail like that! I’m mind blown.. amazing!
Is the heel flap one third of the cast on stitches? ( I cast on less stitches than the tutorial)
It's all explained in the pattern.

@@NerdyKnitting You bet! 2-colour brioche in-the-round will fix you right up.😄
Hi loved your tutorial, I want to knit these socks but I don’t know how to download your knitting pattern linked below
Thank you
You can purchase the pattern on my website. Here's the link: toniaknits.com/simple-socks-no-1/
When you pick up stitches along the side of the heel flap plus one, where do you pick up that extra stitch to close the hole?
I try to pick up right along the same edge as well, unless it looks like that will create a hole then I might move it over a bit.
@@NerdyKnitting Okay, I will look for that. Thank you!
I found the information I requested in another of your videos😊
Nothing like magic loop 👍
So in order to knit the size I want, have to pay $8.00 for the pattern? Am I understanding this correctly?
Yes, the pattern is $8 USD.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you 👍🏾
Thank you 🙏
I would love to make my own socks but I don't really knit 🙂 I discovered your channel thanks to Channel Makers so I came to say hi
Welcome!! Hello!
Get knitting you'll suprise yourself
Thank you very helpful
Can i cast on without a long tail. Cannot manage to do tge long tail
Yes, use whatever cast on you like as long as it's stretchy enough to go over your foot and heel.
Love the video except for one frustrating thing. Saying stop 10 times when coming to stop the short row. I wanted to see you do the slip slip knit and every time I tried to get to it I had to endure stop 10 times at the short row.
Do you prefer using dpn's , two 24 inch or magic loop?
I don't really have a preference - I like all of them!
Casting on around two needles instead of one can help if you find yourself casting on too tightly. Slid onge needle out after youre done casting on. You can also cast on with a needle one ir two sizes larger. Another way to close the gap is to cast on anextra stitich and knit the first and last stitches together.
Good tips!
I usually use 5 dpns instead of 4. I feel more secure that way...

Yes - the pattern would work for any needle configuration - it's just that some of the instructions will have references to the stitches on Needle 1 or Needle 2. As long as you are comfortable with adjusting that information to 9" circulars you shouldn't have any trouble.
