Learn to knit socks using the Magic Loop method of knitting in the round.
In this tutorial we will walk through each step of knitting socks on Magic Loop including: casting on and setting up, knitting a heel flap and gusset, knitting the toe, and how to close up your toe using the Kitchener Stitch.
This tutorial accompanies a written pattern that can be purchased on Ravelry & Etsy. (Links below) In the tutorial I will be knitting a size medium from this pattern. If the amounts needed for Small or Large are different from the medium I will put the info at the bottom of the screen.
Pattern is written for Small(Medium, Large) - Circumference 8-9”(9-10”, 10-11”)
A Note on Sizes: The sizes listed are based on the foot circumference and not the foot length. I recommend choosing a size that will allow for 1-2 inches of negative ease to get the best fit. You will knit the sock to the length that you need in order to fit.
If you would like to purchase the written pattern to follow along it is available for only $2.00, you can do so here:

I'm a crocheter and wanted to start knitting for so long but past attempts failed. I recently mended my grandma's socks and felt I wanna try again. So here I am at 2am, on my second round of my first ever knit project and sock. I feel so close to my grandma. 🧡
I would start on a dish cloth first instead of a sock.
@@kristibalibrera1378 I also recently reattempted with this sock pattern and tutorial, and have been successful 😊 some of us like the challenge.
@@kristibalibrera1378 my first knitting project was socks because someone said “knitting socks isn’t for beginners “. Challenge accepted 😂 I’ve successfully knitted 15 pairs of socks since then
@@melissatapp Ualll...I'm trying to learn how to make socks and it is so difficult to me..I'm almost giving up it.Could you tell me your pattern please?🙏🙏🌻
@@mauraalvarez7990 I used this pattern in the video
I’m on my second sock now. This was a terrific tutorial-nothing left unsaid. Take it from an educator-the perfectly executed lesson plan!
Thank you so much Elly! that means a lot coming from someone who teaching is their job!
@@CrazySockLady too fast
@@Caroleen52 Do you have a pause button on your device??? This is not meant to be a "knit-along".
@@Caroleen52 Click the Settings button in the video window, there's an option to change playback speed. I used slo-mo (.25) more than a few times. It helps!
@@joannathesinger770 aaaa
I have never knitted socks before, I downloaded the printed pattern and followed along with this tutorial and knitted my first sock easily. Excellent instruction!
This is the best video. I have to say you can’t stress this tip enough about making sure the working yarn in thrown up and over your work when beginning each row. I don’t knit like you. I hold the yarn in my right hand and if that yarn ever gets inside that infinity loop it gets so messed up! Very important tip which I don’t think is stressed enough🤪😂Another important thing with magic loop is the set up or the framework..to realize the needles ALWAYS point to right and the working yarn always in the back, also you always pull the back yarn to knit the front needle. I know you know this but I hope this comment helps someone else like me. 😘
I've only been knitting 2 1/2 months and I have been able to knit my very first socks with your video and the written pattern. Thank you, you're an amazing instructor!!
Hi i have knitted socks for some 59 years. I’ve watched your video twice and have decided that i am definitely going to purchase the needles for sock via the magic loop - it looks way easier than 4 needles. Thanks for this video and showing this old-timer the modern easy sock knitting. Sock knitting is my passion 🌻
I just knit my first sock, thanks to your excellent tutorial video. I was a teacher for 40 years so recognize a natural instructor when I see one. I hadn’t picked up knitting needles for a few years. The person who invented this magic loop method is a genius! Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to tackle this new territory in my knitting world. 💞
I've been knitting sweaters for years but have been terrified of socks because of the heel turn. This is the BEST video I've ever seen, and now I'm confident I'm ready to tackle a pair of socks!
I've been knitting for many years and never made socks , watching your tutorial made it look easy , you took your time and explained it very clearly , a Big Thank You to you 😍.
I've tried magic loop videos before but never mastered the technique. Something with your video clicked with me. I sit and tell myself "turn, pull, push". And it works. Thank you so much.
Well suga, dispite my arthritis and shaky hands, you have gotten me to complete a cuff. Now on to the leg! You are the best teacher❤❤❤
Wow what a fantastic tutorial. It was so clear and helpful. I’m brand new to knitting and had never done magic loop or used circular needles before and I followed each step and I just finished my first sock! Woo hoo! Thank you for your great video! 😁🧦🎉
I made my first pair of socks for my stepdaughter for a Christmas gift. I had never used magic loop before and of course never knitted socks before….plus I’m new to knitting. Your video was perfect! I started the socks at the beginning of December and finished the pair on Christmas Eve! I couldn’t believe I finished them in time. She was thrilled that I made socks for her and to use her words “And they match!” Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’m now working on a pair for me.
I just wanted to say that this tutorial is absolute gold!!! I am on my third pair now. I feel confident enough to learn new skills. Honestly, thank you for this video!
I have been knitting for about 10 years and when I started I didn't really learn how to properly pick up stitches or the little tips and tricks that give you a more nicely finished product. I am so grateful for tutorials like these because I am happier with my finished knitted objects since learning from you these little things. Thanks!
I can't believe that I sat and watched the entire tutorial! I'm working on some baby socks and just transitioned to continental knitting from English style. Then I heard about magic loop knitting. Now I can't wait to try this out! Thank you!
I just started learning how to knit and I feel so much more confident to knit socks now! It’s way less complicated than I thought it was going to be! Thankyou for the lovely tutorial!
Your 9" socks knitting blew me away. I had trouble with my hands and keeping my first row seamlessly the same as the rest of the stitches. You could always tell where I started. But, when I tried the 9" needles, Oh goodness, it made them so much easier to keep all of my stitches on, uniform tension, and so much more fun. Thank you for sharing.
I bought my sock yarn and started the leg of my first sock three years ago. Knitted the second leg and then put it away for two years because I was afraid to attempt the heel. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial I finally finished my first pair and they fit beautifully! Thank you. Can’t wait to make more!
HaHa I loved this comment. I purchased the yarn and needles to make socks almost 4 years ago, but was so nervous about learning Magic Loop, heel flaps, etc. I kept taking them out and looking at videos and putting them back in my knitting basket. I finally taught myself Magic Loop last fall and now knitting my first sock with this wonderful video. Half way through the heel turn. 🤞🙏
Excellent tutorial for us beginning sock knitters! I've taken multiple Craftsy classes, bought books, and watched many TH-cams on knitting socks. There was some concept surrounding the heel that I had real difficulty grasping. (Plus. I'm a newer knitter but I knew I could conquer socks, once I grasped that concept!). However, this was the cleanest, clearest set of instructions I've ever seen regarding knitting socks on Magic Loop! Thank you so very much! Now, I can knit them. Highly recommend to new sock knitters!
Off to buy the pattern. I had already saved it in my favorites, but now I KNOW I can do it! Again, thanks so much!
I've just finished my first sock, and it was soooo much easier than I thought it would be, thank you so much for your tutorial! all the steps were perfectly explained ✨
I just finished watching the entire video, reading along at all steps with the printed pattern. I now feel confident to begin knitting my first pair of socks. This is something that I've been looking forward to knitting for years. I'm so excited to cast on and knit along with you! Thank you so much! Your explanations are excellent!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I was intimidated by socks and thought it would be a super big learning curve; but with your guidance, I have just finished my first pair of socks. They are imperfect, but way better than I imagined I could pull off on my first try. Your instructions and pacing were so easy to follow. I’ve liked, subscribed, and will continue to come back to your videos as I move along my sock journey. I can’t tell you how excited I am that I can knit socks now!
This was amazing! I made socks for the first time! I loved how you ‘stayed with us’ while knitting!
Thank you
So much!
Great tutorial. I'm a 2AAT toe up knitter using magic loop or single 9" watching your videos have helped me understand and knit cuff down. Now I can use 9", DPNS, and magic loop top down or toe up. Love love love your tutorials. Good luck in the move.
Omg I’m so glad I found your video, I’ve spent a week of headaches trying to knit my first sock! You are deserving of a medal 🥇 thank you xx
I’ve been knitting socks on DPNs for 20 years I can’t wait to try it this way. I also love that you’ve solved my dog ear problem on my kitchener!! 😱
Jfksdiî in dxxcnbcjhffjfhffhnjfjfjrjf are ask..@:@2/
That awkward moment when you try on your sock and realize your calf is a little too big for the cuff and now you have to frog the whole thing 🥲
I just did my first sock with magic loop. Wow. Thank you for helping me. You showed me that I can do the magic loop and it’s not scary. Bless you. Now I can knit these for others in need. And for family and myself. But I want to give others something that they can have that would keep them warm. Thanks again
Oh I’m so happy I could help! ❤️
I've been wanting to make socks for years. Last year I finally sat down to really try and kept getting hung up at the heel. This video led me to being able to finally make my first sock. I'm working on the mate now. Thank you so much for this video!!
I want to try knitting socks this year. Thank you for your feedback on this tutorial. I'm going to save it and give it a go!
Oh my gosh, Kay! I'm so excited. I bought your Vanilla sock pattern as my 2021 goal is to learn to knit socks. I couldn't wait till January so I started one and I'm so excited that I understand Magic Loop and I'm DOING IT!!!! Whoop! Thank you!!!!
Yay!!! 🎉❤️
love the tutorial, especially the little tricks that make the sock turn out so well. the video time markers are incredibly helpful. many thanks from a fellow Ohioan trying to learn how to knit socks in South America!
Just wanted to say thanks!! This is so much better than DPN !! No ladders & no gaps, on both socks!!❤❤
Thank you for the instructions! You're a great teacher. I've only knit socks on dpns and that was 10 years ago. I watched all 3 tutorials and I'm starting with the magic loop. This has given me confidence to knit socks again! I started it yesterday evening and I'm finished with the ribbing and I'm on row 22 of the leg! 🤗
This by far the best sock knitting tutorial around. I have now managed to knit my first socks and many more to come. You are a great teacher and thanks for the helpful tips and advice.
I have knitted a pair of socks on dpns a few years ago. I watched your dpn video as a refresher. It was excellent. Was always intimidated by the Magic Loop method. But not anymore! After watching this video I ordered the circular needle and some beautiful yarn. Can’t wait to get started. I especially love how you knit and explain EVERY step. You are an excellent instructor. Thank you so much!
Thank you CSL!I taught myself to knit recently ( having always been a crocheter) with the specific goal of knitting socks. With your excellent tutorial I have now amazed friends and family with the gorgeous socks I have knitted! Still on vanilla but I am getting ready to branch out any time now. I owe you a LOT!( Btw I can also do 9- inch and dpn - I've tried them all; still deciding which way is my favourite.)
I've given myself the challenge of learning/making something new every week this year. Now, it's time for Magic Loop and the only one I want to learn it from is you! Thank you for the wonderful videos.
This is so wonderful a mindset ❤️ Wish you the best of luck ❤️
Fabulous teacher!!!
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to knit socks for several years, but couldn't ever find the right teacher. First I had to learn magic loop, but then I found this video and it is great! I knit both socks in a matter of weeks. Its helpful that I knit continental too. Thank you for the clear instructions and explanations Kay!
This is the most clear & comprehensive sock tutorial. Thank you so much!!
I come back to this tutorial over and over. I love how you have broken this down! Thank you for it and Merry Christmas!
You’re so welcome!! Merry Christmas!!! ❤️
Thank you for this great tutorial…I have done 5 pairs of socks so far for the family and will make some for myself.
I've been putting off knitting socks for years, now I've watched your tutorial i feel a little braver to give it a go!! Thank you so much. 😊

I tried so many times this is so much easier
I can't thank you enough for this tutorial - I've made my first pair of socks & I'm really pleased with the result. I've already started my second pair, couldn't have done it without you!!
I usually make 2 at a Time toe up. I wanted to try a different way....love your socks. Great video...new heel for me. Love it! You are a great teacher. I did a worsted weight sock for my husband....you make it so easy to convert. I found a new way to do my socks....THANK YOU! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I only started knitting a week and a half ago (been crocheting 15 years though) and I just finished my first sock!!! It's definitely not perfect, but it fits and looks great on. I was able to easily follow along using the video and the written pattern.
Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to make more!
This is the best sock.....well actually the best knitting tutorial I’ve ever used. Thx these were my 1st pair of socks I’ve ever knit and I’ve knit for years.
❤️❤️❤️
You are a treasure and I will tell literally everyone who ever inquires about my sock knitting talents that it was YOU who has helped me wrought socks into this world.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ best comment to see so early in the morning. Thank you!
Wow! You have a new fan here! I’ve watched this TH-cam in parts many times and it is so helpful. I started my first sock with a pattern from another creator, and I just couldn’t make any sense out of it. To anyone looking for a great pattern that’s super clear get the Crazy Sock Lady’s pattern on Ravelry . It is so well written. I am new to sock knitting and knitting in general. Your pattern gives helpful queues all the way through to help produce a clean, professional looking sock. Thank you!
♥️🧦
I'm just learning to knit, after being a crocheter for many years. As soon as I finish my cardi, I am going to try knitting socks! Can't wait to give it a go. Thank you for your very in depth tutorial :)
Coma2os40, reading a few comments and have been knitting for a few years now... like you crocheted for many years and just taught myself, so am sure you have learned fast if you are attempting fun socks:). When you refer to cardi, does that mean a sweater? If so, have you found a good tutorial as I reeeeeeally want to try knitting a sweater, but haven’t found any great tutorials on one... thx and Happy Knitting! ( I am excited to learn from the sock lady, have knitted a few German row socks and had great success for my first socks at verypinkknits German row heel tutorial... in addition to this great video as well ! ) 🧣🎃🧣
@@patrick7mary Cardi is a shortening of Cardigan, a type of sweater that has an open front. Commonly cardigans have buttons down the front to fasten the two sides together , hope that helps.
Yes Mandy, I gotcha, I know those, very cute! Thank you!
Thank you, just finished my 1st sock, a bit wonky but learning, great tutorial to get one started..
Fantastic tutorial. I've been knitting socks for years and I still picked up some tips. Thank you!
I have never knitted anything in my life and I have just successfully knitted one beautiful sock. I am so proud I could cry. Thank you for this video so so much. I can't believe I did it. And now on to sock number two
I've been knitting socks for like half my life (15 years?), and have never tried the magic loop method - I'm really intrigued and need to see if i have the yarn to try these asap! Thanks for such a great tutorial!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial, I’ve knitted my first pair of socks after trying so many times, now I’ve done it, yeahhh!!😊
This is the best tutorial I have watched on how to knit socks.
Thank you for you for sharing.
So far I only have one knitting project to my credit: one pair of mittens. So I decided to follow your tutorial to knit a shortie sock (as practice) to familiarize myself with the heel construction and it turned out perfect. Now I'll be able to follow a similar sock pattern without getting confused. Thank you for your help! 😀
I've finally made a sock!!! Thank you sooo much for the detailed explanation, I'm just learning to knit and I couldn't manage to make a sock untill I've found your precious video!
I have been a crazy sock lady myself since my Grannie taught me in 1980. [She knit socks for soldiers during the Great War.] I now suffer arthritis and have "trigger finger" in my ring fingers, and find working 4 needles challenging because of the debilitation of fine motor skills.
I tried your method last year and got frustrated, but just knit my first sock in record time!
Now I would like to learn HOW you knit, because it seems less trouble for the triggering fingers than using my method. I'm going to check your channel to see if I can find that.
THANKS for putting the timestamps in!!! That's a great tip for other youtubers.
This is very good and comprehensive tutorial on sock knitting. Very well done! I love how you explain everything and show exactly what you are doing.
HI I am from Japan and I just done to knit my first sock with your this video! Thank you so much >
All I can say Kay is wow 🤩. Your explanation is easy and simple. Both your pattern and TH-cam are super easy to follow. I’ve just finished my first sock ever so easy. Love it and love your teaching
Thank you for posting this tutorial, I have completed my first sock. You made it clear and easy to follow.I may become addicted to knitting socks .thank you again
I come back to your video tutorials time after time. They’re such a help! Thanks so much!
I cannot thank you enough for your video. I have tried so many times to make socks but was never successful... until now !! I have completed my first pair and am working on second. So grateful. Thx !!
This was the fastest sock I've ever made. Thank you for the clear instructions and video!
I swapped out the long-tail cast-on for a cable cast-on on larger needles as I find it extra stretchy (just not quite as clean a cuff though)
Hi 👋 Kay, I've recently watched your tutorials many times over and I started knitting this tut today.
Magic loop is indeed magic and you are a great tutor. Thank you and much happiness 😊
Appreciate this great video! I could not have completed my 1st sock without you! I now have some confidence to continue on with the 2nd although I only have a little over 40 grams left of my sock yarn! Thanks so much!
I just finished my first pair of socks! I never could have done it without your video - thank you!🧦
Thanks to your videos I am addicted to making socks. So good for my mental health! Thanks and I look forward to all of your videos!
OK, so 7 pairs later, O ferl like a pro.
Cannot imagine knotting socks any other way...so happy.
Big hug to the Crazy Sock lady from Melbourne Australia🤗
My typing not really so bad but on an iPhone my chubby fingers🤨
You have given me the courage to try again! I did a sample with the Easy Peasy pattern using worsted. It’s too bulky and would only be good for slippers, but was a good practice sock. I now have 2 with cuffs and legs (from your Vanilla pattern), just loaded both onto 40” cables, and am going to continue with heel flaps and turning. Thank you for such a clear instructional video!
I’ve had so much fun knitting my first sock I stayed up until 2 am knitting- after I started the heel flap I couldn’t stop until I’d finished the gusset decreases
Wooo!!! That is so exciting!!! 🎉
Thank you so much for your sock camp, I’m really enjoying starting my sock. I have not gotten very far but I’m having fun. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher.
I just finished my first sock. You taught this in a way that was so easy to understand. I'm excited to start sock #2. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! It took almost 2 months but I have my first sock complete! Already starting my second!
Kay, thank you so much for putting the tutorial together. I've completed my first sock!!! Onto the second. Your instructions were so easy to follow and socks have been taunting me for so long. Thanks again.
You purl beautifully and your tension is spot on - It’s so inspiring 🧦
You are a real Talent for demonstrating how to knit a sock ever so clearly. It would be wonderful if you could share with us a further one on knitting socks starting from the toe . That would be really cool. Have a nice Advent with a candle while you are knitting.
I just finished knitting my first sock!I am so excited! Thank you.!
It took me about 14 Hours, but I finally finished my first pair of socks 😂 Tank you so so much for this awesome tutorial ❤
I made this! It’s the first successful sock pattern I’ve completed. Perfect fit. Thank you!!
I’m just realizing what a big difference the color and type of yarn along with the color of your needles (currently ginger wooden) can make. I’m using this video to help me with the gusset stitches knitting the your mahogany sock pattern. For the first time I was able to easily see the stitches to “Pick up” for the gusset. And this is the first time I’ve seen to keep the stitches separated as heel and instep. This really helped with knitting a patterned instep for the first time. Socks are getting easier with each pair I knit but it’s only because of people like you that share their knowledge that it’s been possible. Thank you so much.
❤️❤️❤️ you’re so welcome! I’m glad that it was helpful!
Thank you so much with your help I was able to learn how to knit and make socks for myself ,my daughter and my husband ❤
Never knitted a sock and decided to give everyone homemade socks for Xmas……first one great but struggled with the pickups on either side of heel…silly me ended up with them all on one needle……now on my 4th pair and flying through adding patterns.
Thanks for your lovely stepwise instructions and I can go to parts to remind myself of a particular segments.😆😆
I’ve decided to do them for Christmas too! I’ve finished my first one after frogging about 4 times😅 i think I be gotten The hang of it now
Thank you SO much for this tutorial! The explanations were amazing and easy to follow, even for a beginner like me :) I just finished my first sock! And I can't wait to start the 2nd one!
Excellent most understandable tutorial! And yes I was only going to watch a part but ended up watching the whole thing😊
Yahhhh I just completed my very first sock on magic loop with heel flop in gossip, but I’ve never done before and they turned out excellent. I have made many other pairs of socks using an afterthought heels, but this magic loot method is awesome, but I did start my sock with the cuff online at circulars, and when it was time to start my heel, I switched over to magic loop where I completed the heel flap and that’s it and the rest of the foot. This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you. 🧦
I'm now working on closing up the toe of my very first sock and I am so grateful for your tutorial. Very clearly explained, well demonstrated. I thank you very much for this, making my first sock has been very gratifying and I feel confident to tackle the second one! I'm very excited to have a pair.
Genius idea to put time links for each portion of the process. ! Saving this one for future reference.
Fantastic, thank you so much. Although I’ve been knitting (mostly jumpers) for years, I’ve now knitted my first ever pair of socks with (another first ever) magic loop. Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial. After many attempts to learn sock knitting, I have finally succeeded! Your explanations and visuals are wonderful.
Finally! the ultimate tutorial I've been looking for. You make it so clear and simple. Thank you!
I successfully knit my first pair of socks and they fit PERFECTLY!! Thank you SO much for this tutorial. Your instructions in this video and in the written pattern are so well worded ❤
Thanks for sharing, that's amazing! I will start my first sock following your video. ❤
I’ve always been afraid to knit socks! I’ve done a few on 9” circulars and finally decided to try magic loop (it looked so intimidating and confusing) I followed your tutorial several times and I’m not sure what was so intimidating now!! I did find that if I tug the stitch where the 2 needles meet on the gusset decrease I do not get any holes. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have made 8 pairs of socks and I am loving every minute of it!!
Thank you so much this is extremely helpful especially showing the right and wrong side of sock everything is daunting when learning to knit in the round and also to keep track of the pattern you are a super great teacher! GOD BLESS!
What a great video! SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you for doing this and making it so easy to follow along. I have finally knit my first sock!!!
Hi from the rainy San Francisco Bay Area. Can you even think of a better time to watch the tutorial and learn to make socks??? I have been knitting since about 2007 and I have always been so chicken to attempt to knit them. But you created such a wonderful tutorial that is simple and logical- you make it look like a child could do it!!! So I just finished my 1st sock and it's not so bad- I'll even be wearing it when I get the other sock done. I knitted an accent color for the band, heel & toe. It is so cute! This has opened a huge door for me- there have been so many times I wished I could be knitting on something small and easy to transport anywhere. Wish no more...I am there! Thanks a million for posting your instructions, you are such a peach! Happy knitting, Carrie
I love your tutorial. I bought the writing pattern on ebay. I've already knitted 3 socks. I'm starting the 4th one. My friends love it too! Thank you.
