Really super easy to follow and the masking tape is a great idea, another thing I like about your video is you are not waving the loom all over the place and that has made it easy for me to follow and lastly the instructions at the bottom of the screen is a great help. Well done thank you.
This pattern is ok if you have standard feet. I have a high in step (arch). So, after a long and very interesting search I have developed a pattern that fits my foot, it's worked entirely on this loom and is really easy. If you have the same problem I'll let you know what I've done.
@@lisaboles1834 hi Lisa, what I did is really simple and I now have socks that fit really well. Knit the cuff and leg as normal until the heel shaping. Knit 5 rows 1 X 1 rib then divide for the heel. However use 70% of the stitches rather than 50%. On the orange loom this works out to be 39 stitches. On the purple loom it's 45 stitches. Work The heel as normal and then, when the short rows are finished, work another 5 rows 1 X 1 rib. Work rest of foot and toe as normal (use 50% of stitches for the toe). Voila! A better fitting sock, for high in step, that grips really well and does not slide down. Enjoy.
@@lisaboles1834 my pleasure. I love loom knitting socks and now I have designed this pattern I get great results each time. Let me know how you get on.
It's the best tutorial about how to make socks. My first sock looms - KB His&Her was delivered in the night of the New Year :) 1 December 2022 I celebrate by watching this tutorial, I had my very first few knitted rows of my first pair of socks on a sock loom. Thank you so much Isela. We both have now good socks.
What a superb video! Much easier to follow than some I've seen. I shall be attempting these as soon as I have finished all my other projects! Thank you.
Thank you for such a great video. I feel inspired to try peg knitting now and ordered a loom. Arthritis makes it too hard to use the pointy sticks, and I miss the joy of handmade socks.
Video was well done. It was clear and well lit. Surely though, I can't be the only one who finds the music distracting. I need the volume for when she speaks so I can't just mute it, but the music was driving me crazy.
Thank you, for such a easy to follow tutorial, I have always been fascinated with these looms, just didn't know how to use one, I just might invest in one.
This video was very clear and really easy to follow and very much appreciated. Hard to read and understand those little papers that come with the looms. Plus you can miss place it like I did. Thank you again and thanks for the great video.
I thankyou the pattern was easy to follow . I did add the masking tape for the cuff to help me keep up with the 2 knits and the 2 pearls as well for the heel.
I've just purchased a sock loom as well as a set of round ones. This is the best video I've seen yet! My kids have giant feet though so I'm going to have to figure out how much yarn socks take...
Great instructions now i finally understand making a sock on a knitting loom the light finally went off .......i just ordered the 28in loom now looks like i will need to order this one i do have a sock loom from Kb but its the wood one with the sliding peg bar great video thanks
If you already have an adjustable sock loom, you don't need to buy this one. Just follow the same instructions using the loom you already have. Why waste your money?
🙋♀️ Hi, im trying to do socks for my son who wears a men 14, yikes quite the task? How many rows per inch is it? Any help would be super appreciated!! Thanks for the video! Socks are biggest challenge ❤️🌺
This has to be the best video I have seen for someone that has no idea about knitting socks thank you so much for the upload. Do you know how many hours it ll take to knit a pair of socks and if someone loves plain wool should you still buy a mix and what would up suggest?
KrimCakes E. I tried it on a completely different loom with different weight yarn and they still turned out fabulous! Work in multiples of 4 and you shouldn’t have a problem changing the size either 😊

Hello.. I'm new to this craft and I was wondering if you could show me the pearl stitch a little slower. The other one is somple it seems, the pearl I'm not cathing on to as easily.
I like the video. If I have a smaller loom I have 32 pegs how many pegs would I wrap and turn? Is it always 10 un wrapped pegs in the center? Also what size are you knitting?
Hi! Itried 3 times to make a sock and all times the sock did not fit well. What kind of yarn did you recommend for a slipper sock? I tried with yarn needles 12 to 15 but the sock was too tight. I also tried with yarn needles 6 to 8 but does not work too, the knitting stitch became very loose. I realy want to make at least one sock successfull :(
This is a great video. I have watched other videos on TH-cam and they are much faster paced so it’s hard to try to freeze it so you get a better view of the stitch. This one is perfectly paced for me. What is the weight of the yarn used and the gauge of the loom (distance between pegs)? I’d like to use a finer yarn and more closely knit than the one in the video. Thanks!
I love the video. I am a little confused as to what to do after I wrap and turn all of them for the toe and peg 1 and 28 are still wrapped. With the heel it says to go and and knit in the round for the foot. What do I do with the toe part as peg 1 and 22 still have 2 loops on
Thank you so much for this vudro. I just got these looms and this video was the best and just what I needed. I am working on my first ever sock atm and getting ready to start the heel tomorrow. But there is just one thing in the pattern I am unclear on. When it comes time to make the toe part, it says to make it exactly as the heel. Do you knit the toe part on the same side as the heel or on the other side,? I have an idea but J wasn't sure. But so far I just love this pattern. And I'm very happy with how it's coming out. Thanks so much again
@@rocioconsiglieri137 I figured it out🙂 I've made 1 1/2 of these socks already ( 1 pair finished and almost finished the first of the second pair). Thd answer is that YES you knit the toe on the same side as the heel. And it works perfectly. I was confused when watching the video as I could see the knit pattern on the front of the sock so I thought it must have been knitted on the front. But no, you do in fact knit it on the backside (exactly the same as the heel) and it folds over to cover the front too. It's a very good pattern and makes really very nice socks. I've gotten lots of compliments on them.
@@BarbaraC147 Thank you so much! And if it’s not too much to ask. How long it took you to knit 1 pair. I am planning to knit one for my son for Christmas but I am worried I won’t finish on time.
Also if there are any big footed people like me ..Even though I am a woman I had to use the "his" loom. Ir for men's socks... The "him"(purple) loom has 64 pegs, so 32 on each side. That means to make the heel, 11 ....10 ....11. And that works perfectly.
@@rocioconsiglieri137 well I am not currently working so have lots of free time. But about 3 weeks. I can make it faster now, but when you're just learning something or doing it for the first time it can take longer. Have fun with yours.🙂
I've almost finished my first sock, but after finishing the toe part, I still have wraps on first peg and 33 (I use the 64 pegs loom). On the kitchener instructions there is no wraps. Should I make another round?
I followed instructions but it was a fail for me. Fingerling yarn had no stretch so that was my first issue. The wrap and turn had me confused so I went very slow at that part, but then as you went along, you sped up the video which is where I started messing up with the wrap and turn! I would go back to find the slow motion and would get totally lost finding where I left off. Also, I was unsure of how many rows to to get the correct length. Maybe it was just me, but this tutorial did not work for me 😞The heel was not forming because I was not doing it right
It is a very good video. But the kitchener stitch. I've seen it done on the loom. For those of us with kids or animals that attack us during our projects. That's why I loom knit. So I don't have to take my stitches off.
How many row you need depends on your gauge. Example: measure how many stitches and rows you have in a one inch square of a swatch knitted in the yarn you want to use. Ex: 8 stitches and 16 rows. Measure your foot toe to heel. Subtracting 1 1/2 inch for heel and toe, that's 3 inches total that you subtract from your foot measurements. Ex: 9.5 in - 3in =6.5in Now multiply your total by the number of rows in your gauge measurement. Ex: 6.5×16=104 rows. I hope this helps you
Is this pattern possible with a sock loom that only has 32 pegs? It's an oval sock loom but came with no instructions and I would love to be able to on it a pair of socks
56 stitches seems like a lot. The distance between pegs on my loom seem about the same distance apart, perhaps a few millimeters wider. Should I cut down on cast ons or does it balance out?
Hello i have brought this oval sock loom please can you let me know what yarn i need i am from the UK thank you . I have been let down by a seller on Amazon for this loom i live in the UK getting KB sock looms is a let down here in the UK it looks like i will have to give up on getting any KB sock looms i wish i lived in the US .
Probably a stupid question, but I must know before I buy one of these: Why is a sock loom oval? Would I get better results than if it were a round loom?
Yes and no. Depends on the knitters mobility and skill. In medieval times, there were laws restricting peg knitters from working in some cities because peg knitters were more productive and took business away from pointy stick knitters who couldn't keep up.

Thank you so much...now I learn how to make nice socks...that is simple and easy to do it...
Thank you for such a great detailed and slow view of making the sock from top to bottom.
great video. i have this loom and I can't wait to make some socks!!
I agree!
Great to hear! Glad it helped your sock knitting.
Thank you so much for you great Tutorial! I really wish there would be more patterns for this specific loom. Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼♀️
It's just a round loom that's been squashed down into a weird shape. Any pattern you find for a round loom will work on this one and vice versa.
@@ToddCarnes Yes you are right. But most loom knitting sock patterns out there are for looms with the bigger Gauge I think!?
Brilliant!❤

Hello.. I'm new to this craft and I was wondering if you could show me the pearl stitch a little slower. The other one is somple it seems, the pearl I'm not cathing on to as easily.
Does this have to be an oval or would a circular round work? I’m a newbie-I’m much better with the loom than with actual knitting needles!
Round, oval or even square, it works ;)
I was thinking the way the heel is knitted, it could also be used as a visor for a hat.
I like the video. If I have a smaller loom I have 32 pegs how many pegs would I wrap and turn? Is it always 10 un wrapped pegs in the center? Also what size are you knitting?
Very thorough video! But I'm confused as to which loom to use for female with A 10.5 narrow shoe size. Appreciate any feed back.

perfect tutorial apart from weaving in ends, there is a correct way of doing it
Very nice video, but one thing is not clear to me: How exactly do you measure the length of the foot while it‘s still hanging on the loom?
Very nice video

You can always slow the video's playback speed down, if it's too fast for you.
Thank you! I hardly ever use TH-cam so that’s very helpful to know.
Love this, will try it out. What is the hook you use? I have seen some double hooks, are these good?
Great video but somewhat confused. The video says you do the the first round 18 times. The transcript says do 118. What's the right number?

Seems faster to 4 needle knit? Great video though
What kind of yarn do you use? And where can I buy it?
It's a fingering weight yarn, not sure the exact one.
Does anyone know how many rows (aprox) for the foot? I don’t find measuring very helpful I like more counting rows…

I am wondering if the same thing can be done on the KB Flexi knitting loom?
Yes but the gauge will be larger. You would have to use less pegs, but technique would be the same.
@@KBLooms even with the smaller Flexi?
@@xanadu1jwthe gauge on the smaller flexee loom is 3/8 and I believe the gauge on the orange oval loom is 1/4 or 2/8 of an inch.

Probably a stupid question, but I must know before I buy one of these: Why is a sock loom oval? Would I get better results than if it were a round loom?
The sock will come out exactly the same if using a oval loom or round loom. The oval makes counting the pegs easier for the heel.
There's no difference.

Can you point me in the right direction where I can purchase this loom. Thank you

Cual sería la parte que no entiende, sin hablar del idioma?
Can you not do the Kitchener part on the loom?
In love to watch it but wouldn't it be faster with knitting needles?
Yes and no. Depends on the knitters mobility and skill.
In medieval times, there were laws restricting peg knitters from working in some cities because peg knitters were more productive and took business away from pointy stick knitters who couldn't keep up.
