OMG YOU ARE BEYOND THE BEST TEACHER EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH my first sock and heel and heal turn and it cam out right. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! If I could hug you I would. Hugs 🫂
I'm so thankful to you. After watching your video for 5 hrs, knitting and unpicking 3/4 times I HAVE FINALLY GOT IT!! I KNIT A HEEL!! I'm a little bit closer to my dream of being able to knit 🧦 socks xxx❤
Thanks so much! I come back to this every time I need to turn the heel :) I think soon I'll have it by heart, but this explanation is just so good :) thanks again from a happy sock-knitter
Thank you so much! I am knitting (for the first time in years) a baby sock and for the life of me I couldn't figure out from the written instructions how to do the heal. This is really similar to crocheting a heel. Your tutorial is FANTASTIC!
Excellent video!! I can’t tell you how many videos/instructions have completely lost me trying to do this. I love the way you explain things, and the heel turn really is so so cool!
What a clear and well explained video! You are so encouraging! I have avoided socks for years and so I am so glad I found you on TH-cam . You used great colors for the video so it was easy to see the stitches. And YES it is magic to knit the heel cup!!! Mint chocolate was my reward. Thank you thank you!!!
I am on my third pair...I can’t thank you enough....I watch and knit...pausing to catch up....this par is really looking good but I probably will need to watch you for the next 100 pairs...🤗. Marie
I love your personality and how you said “You’re the boss of your own knitting.” That was powerful and it helped me in many aspects of life in general. You seem to be the boss of you and everything you do. That is the key to confident knitting and the key to life! Luv you for that!❤️💫
I have gone to so many sites to learn how to make a sock--esp. the heel turn and none are as good as yours. I've done 3 pairs of socks watching your videos over and over again!
Love your advice on trusting the pattern and just do it, it’s given me the courage to believe in my knitting and try to feel confident when doing a new pattern I’ve never done before 😅🙏🏼✨❤️❤️
Excellent instructions. I was struggling with the heel and read so many patterns but they did not make sense enough for me to do it right. I love your clear step by step instructions along with the explanation. I just finished the heel and it looks beautiful. Thank you. I hope you have more videos on picking up the stitches and finishing rest of the sock.
this is a wonderfully clear example of heel flap and turn. I've knitted approx 6 pairs of socks but never quite got the logic of why & how. thanks so much!!
I’m so glad you reassured us to just trust the pattern and thanks to your mom😊cause I am totally the type of learner who just has to know why. Now I can relax my brain and just "do it !" Whoever invented knitting was definitely not human😂
I have been knitting socks for years (self taught). I lost the simple pattern I have been using so looked here in hopes of getting some help. I learned more from your tutorial than I thought possible! Thank you for such great clear information. Heck, now I think I could others how to knit socks!
Best video, ever! I have watched this over and over and finally abandonded the instructions from my pattern. and followed your instructions. Thanks for the explainations throughout.
Best heel flap and turn video ever! Love the padded area, so comfortable! Have 'saved' all four videos and from now on this is how I make socks! Thanks so much for your fabulous, easy to follow instructions, it's so much fun knitting with you!!
Thank you so much for this vid. You explain perfectly for me and everything makes sense. This is my go to vid when I make socks,whatever size yarn I'm using.😃
Thanks to you I made my very first sock. Although I'm not great at following instructions your math and explanations actually assisted in not only my very first sock but a pattern of my own lol. You do am amazing job. I started knitting in January of this year and have 2 sweaters with hats to match my first project was one of the sweaters almost following a pattern ... I'm so bad ... turned out great but I wanted to knit to make socks. I have successfully made 1 of my first pair taking careful notes so now to get at the second. Thank you again for your careful explanations !!!!!!
I had a pattern, I tried to trust it, I was going ever so slightly up the wall. and then I found this video and you're breaking my heart! I feel so encouraged and so proud that I turned the heel, you're right its total sumptuous heel-hugging magic. I can't wait to knit another sock and I just want to thank you so much !!! I found the pace lovely and also the intuitive nature of not-counting much easier to get my head around and feel like I understand more what I'm doing than just blindly counting and feeling lost. You're fantastic!
Wow! Watching you and listening to your soothing voice is so satisfying. I picked up my needles and yarn to make a sock a little while ago, after a couple of years of no knitting , and finally got to the BEST part , the heal stuff. Wish I had found you before I did it on my own. 🤪. You are SO right about how thrilling it is to make that pocket. It’s like. A little bit of giggle joy when you see it forming. SO COOL! Is all I keep repeating. I am at the making the gusset part on this sock ( started on small circular, now on two, but really want to try magic loop next) and loved how you said to trust you... I am not seeing the gusset form yet, but trusting the pattern. I think I will watch your gusset video before I finish just so I can feel good about what I am doing. Your videos are just the best! Thank you for sharing. I will binge watch soon. And learn the math for the sock and close the book ( Ann Budd’s “the knitter’s handy book of Patterns”) that confuses the beep out of me. Your way is fabulous!
Purl Together i will join your Facebook group and post my sock for sure , and rave about your channel. I can’t believe you have only 17k subscribers... there are certainly more knitters out there. I paint in watercolours also and subscribe to a number of great artists on TH-cam and they seem to have more subscribers... weird. Maybe knitting is scarier than painting..
Thank you for the detailed and clear instruction on knitting the heel and flap - I’ve started so many socks and panicked at the heel but this doesn’t scare me at all now. I can’t wait to start the heel of the socks I started this weekend :).
I am knitting my first sock. It's a baby sock. Your video - especially when you talk about the first time you made socks is really relatable! Thank you. I understand what I'm doing with hats - socks feel like another universe!
First time knitting a sock - a Christmas stocking for my dog. Thanks for making this part so manageable. PS: I hate knitting; I just really love the dog!
Hahaha! Your comment cracked me up. Thanks for watching (and commenting) and I hope to make your knitting less of a hateful experience. And I hope your dog loves the stocking!
I just started a sock for the first time. I wasn't sure on how to do the next part after the flap and the heel. I'm so glad I found your tutorial. Thank you.
I learned how to knit when I was recovering from swine flu! I was bored because even after I felt better I people were still too afraid to be around me lol
I’m fairly new to sock making. Have made a few from a kit pattern. But I found they’ve been a tad tight on cuff. So I’ve branched out to make them fit. ( pattern gave instructions) but it fails to explain further alterations throughout pattern. So I’ve chucked it! Started following yours from this video. Finding it making sense already! 👏🏻 I eventually want to be able to knit socks by just remembering myself! I’m fine with vanilla socks, don’t need fancy patterns. So I’m putting myself in your capable hands. Big thank you!!!!!
Oh this is weird, I just searched for sock knitting 🧦 and found your video, thought it was great.. And I looked up at the channel and realised it is you! 😂💕🐑
You are my favorite youtuber right now!!!! So happy to have found you! Husband asked for socks ..... i never did and I was having so many issues. Your explanation is crystal clear. I did the flap , now I am off to turn it! Wish me luck ☺️
Thank you so much for this video, I'm knitting my first ever sock and had no clue how to manage the heel (the pattern I'm using isn't very explicit), I think I've got it now!
Newbie sock knitter here. The heel turn was my nemesis and I would just fudge it. I’m so excited to have found your tutorials. You really are a master of your craft! Thank you so much for sharing. I will no longer get anxious when I do heel turns anymore! Thank you!!! ❤️😘❤️ Also can you tell me your yarn on this video? I love it. I’ve been using Patons Sock Croy since it’s cheaper than some of the nicer yarns. Hope you see this. I love the texture and color of this sock. 🤗
SO much easier to watch and do along rather than trying to figure things out with just a book explanation. This was fun!! Thanks for the excellent instructions. I have my "congratulatory beverage" all ready.
You'll want to knit at least the same number of rows as you have stitches on your heel flap. So if you have 22 sts total, on your heel, you'll knit at least 22 rows. You'll want to knit more if you have a higher arch (instep) though, since the length of the heel flap determines the circumference of the sock around the instep or the diagonal ankle measurement.
Thank you for the great tutorial, I found this video because I am knitting the Simple SKYP sock and am not satisfied with my slipped edge stitches. They are loose and misshaped. I think the little trick of knitting through the back loop will help. Do you have any other tips on how to fix this problem and is it a common problem. I am so happy I found this video
I struggle with keeping an even tension which seems more noticeable with sock yarn. Can you illustrate how you hold the yarn and needles to maintain an even tension? Thanks!
9:49 the stitches that you slip are the same row for the back and the front when I try to repeat this?? So there are rows that ar not knit/pearled at all and pulled tight and curled up. That can't be right
On the right side of the work, I'm slipping the first stitch, then knitting one, slip one, knit one, all the way across. Then turn your work and purl back on the wrong side. Does that make sense? You can also see the written instructions in the video description.
@@PurlTogetherwhat I probably missed here is a first slip on the pearl side and then continue with the pearl/slip pattern. Then it works out that you pearl/knit the stitch that you slipped on the other side. I'm getting there I think😅 Thank you for your reply
Thank you for your sock videos and sock calculator. This is a great resources. I am knitting my first pair of socks following your video for the heel flap adding the extra colour for the heel. I have 30 sts for the heel flap and knitted the two rows as you did at the beginning before doing the slip stitch. As a result, I have 15 chains but am two rows short on the slip stitch flap if I count the colour change rows. Should I knit two more rows or count the colour change rows as my first chain? I am afraid I may get a hole. Again, thank you. Great instructional video.
I think I read some where, but don't remember if there is a written instructions for the socks. I knit away from computer and need to go back to see if I'm doing it correctly. This is my third pair of socks and I've had trouble with heels. So thought I'd follow yours to see if I can get it done. Thanks for your tutorial.
If you're on Facebook, I do have heel flap and turn written out in the Files of the Purl Together group. However, I'll copy/paste it into the video description. Thanks for watching.
What brand needles/size are your needles and what ones are your favourite? I'm using chiagoo red lace which are the only cable I've been able to get on with🤔
Hello. I like how you explain the heel turn. I wanna follow your pattern more closely so can you tell me how many stitches you do for your heel flap and how many stitches remain after you do your heel turn. Do you have also a mitten pattern? Thanks so much.
Here is a playlist for a mitten tutorial. You can omit the colorwork if you don't want that feature. th-cam.com/play/PLNWbWGGFfxXm0t5SPuFarGFdI0xF7nFFS.html
When I begin my stockinette stitch the purl side is facing me and the knit side is on the inside of the sock. What am I doing wrong, or will it be OK. Thank you for these videos, your instruction is clear and helpful.
I think you may have knitted the heel flap wrong-side out! If you're in the the FB or Ravelry group, please post a picture, so we can see for sure if that's the case.
If you knit the heel flap longer, you'll create a larger circumference for the instep. My might find my more recent playlist helpful. th-cam.com/play/PLNWbWGGFfxXnClP7lljZNuMDlqXIDttie.html
Because I knitted 16 sts to get to the halfway point, but you need to continue on past the halfway point before you begin the short row decreasing. You wouldn't want to begin decreasing right at the very center.
I’m 81 and just finished my second sock ever.......thank you ...this is fun if my joints hold out....ha ha
OMG YOU ARE BEYOND THE BEST TEACHER EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH my first sock and heel and heal turn and it cam out right. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! If I could hug you I would. Hugs 🫂

I love how you explain doing your heel. It helped a lot. You made it understandable for a range of sizes not just one.
Your excitement over a heel flap made my day. Thanks for the great tutorial! I might suddenly have a bunch of knitted socks to wear!
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for not using a set pattern but giving a formula, so much more helpful!!
You are so welcome!

I love this vid and all your slick, nifty sayings 😁. Every time I knit socks I watch this. Thankyou
Hi, you really said, knit half way, plus 2sts, then purl 2 tog, purl 1. Got it now, thanks.

I just started a sock for the first time. I wasn't sure on how to do the next part after the flap and the heel. I'm so glad I found your tutorial. Thank you.
I have been looking and looking for how you figured out how the first purl row is divided. You explain it so well. I can't thank you enough.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved following along with you, made my first try at a pair of socks not so intimidating. Looking forward to another project. ♥️👍
Wonderful!
The best tutorial!!! Thank you. Love you!!
I have never commented on a video before, but this video is fantastic. Gratitude from the U.K ❤️
Thank for commenting and watching!!

I haven’t made socks in so long, I’ve forgotten how to do the heel. Thank you For the video. Quarantine sucks.
Here's to all the people in COVID-19 quarantine, using the spare time to learn to knit
Especially socks will not rest till my sock looks like one! 😁🤣🤓🤓
Knitting my first sock too :) 56 years old 👍

My first heel and yes it was very satisfying! Thank you 🙏!
You’re welcome 😊

Excellent instructions 😊
You’re the BEST! Thank you !✌️❤️

I will no longer get anxious when I do heel turns anymore! Thank you!!! ❤️😘❤️ Also can you tell me your yarn on this video? I love it.

You'll want to knit at least the same number of rows as you have stitches on your heel flap. So if you have 22 sts total, on your heel, you'll knit at least 22 rows. You'll want to knit more if you have a higher arch (instep) though, since the length of the heel flap determines the circumference of the sock around the instep or the diagonal ankle measurement.

Your SSK looks different than mine. I’m going to try yours next time in hopes mine doesn’t look stretched out and loose.

In this video I'm using the Knit Picks Options Interchangeable set, but since I've purchased a set of Chaiogoos and love them!
@@PurlTogether thank you 👍👍
Hello.
I like how you explain the heel turn. I wanna follow your pattern more closely so can you tell me how many stitches you do for your heel flap and how many stitches remain after you do your heel turn. Do you have also a mitten pattern? Thanks so much.
Here is a playlist for a mitten tutorial. You can omit the colorwork if you don't want that feature.
th-cam.com/play/PLNWbWGGFfxXm0t5SPuFarGFdI0xF7nFFS.html
Thanks for the fast reply but very hard to see with your brown yarn
There is an updated video for these. Check out the Step by Step playlist:
th-cam.com/play/PLNWbWGGFfxXnClP7lljZNuMDlqXIDttie.html
When I begin my stockinette stitch the purl side is facing me and the knit side is on the inside of the sock. What am I doing wrong, or will it be OK. Thank you for these videos, your instruction is clear and helpful.
I think you may have knitted the heel flap wrong-side out! If you're in the the FB or Ravelry group, please post a picture, so we can see for sure if that's the case.
Do you have a fingerless gloves video? I'm looking for a thumb gusset video?
I do! Here is a link to a playlist for the Pioneer Mitts.
th-cam.com/play/PLNWbWGGFfxXkjRJycbnHe8TIzMxhCxjOb.html
How can you make the instep bigger ? I have a very high instep and the sock I made to to tight
If you knit the heel flap longer, you'll create a larger circumference for the instep.
My might find my more recent playlist helpful.

Thank you for your help. I am going to do the knit along and see how I do. Thank you again and for all your videos
Omg thank you soooo much for this 💕
You're so welcome!
I was looking for part one and can't seem to find it. I'm also knitting on DPNs

Hi could I ask you why you k2 more stitches on first row of heel turnafyer the knit 16
Because I knitted 16 sts to get to the halfway point, but you need to continue on past the halfway point before you begin the short row decreasing. You wouldn't want to begin decreasing right at the very center.
