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❤
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 🫂
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!
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!❤️💫
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!!!
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!!
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
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!
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
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 😅🙏🏼✨❤️❤️
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
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..
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 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!
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.
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!
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😂
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 !!!!!!
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 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’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!!!!!
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.😃
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!
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! 😂💕🐑
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. 🤗
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!
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
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.
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
I noticed that you are 'sl1 wyib k1' across the row - the sock calculator instructions say 'Row 1: k1, sl1wyib' across the row. My question - does it make any difference? I see the sl1 at the beginning of the row gives a 'chain stitch' . BTW - your explanation of this process is excellent - clear and slow enough to follow along. Thanks!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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🤔
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’re my go to place for remembering how to do the heel turn. Do you recall the name of that lovely purple and grey yarn you used when showing the other sock you were working? I think it was about 12 mins. into the video. Thanks!
My husband has arthritis in the ball of his foot, so I was wondering about the idea of padding that part of the foot. I first thought of knitting the ball with two strands of yarn, but realized pretty quickly that won't work knitting in the round. I don't think you'd want the extra padding all the way around. Any thoughts about this? I was wondering if I could pad the bottom by working an extra layer into the knitted stitches with a crochet hook.
I would suggest just doing the same slip stitch reinforcement that we implemented on the heel flap, when you get to the area that you'd like to have extra cushioning.
Could you tell me when you get to the last stitch on heel flap you said to knit it in the back . Is it all the last stitch on the back or only the knit side. Or both knit side and purl side
When you reach the last stitch on the right side (the knit side) you'll knit the last one through the back loop. On the wrong side (the purl side) you'll slip the first stitch and purl the rest normally.
Hi Jana, is there a chart or maybe you just know... what’s the “normal” length of the top part of a man’s dress sock? And does that measurement include the length gained by the heel? Thanks!
That would depend upon your row gauge. When you knit the heel flap, you'll want it to be at least the same number of rows at the number sts you have on the flap. For example if you have 36 sts for the heel flap, you'd knit at least 36 rows for the flap. (sometimes I'll knit more if I need to make a more rectangular flap, that will produce a larger circumference for the gusset) To calculate when you'd begin the flap, you'll want to measure how many rows you have per inch during the knitting of the leg portion. Then you'll know approximately how big heel flap will be. Does that make sense?
I’m 81 and just finished my second sock ever.......thank you ...this is fun if my joints hold out....ha ha
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❤
Wonderful!
I love how you explain doing your heel. It helped a lot. You made it understandable for a range of sizes not just one.
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 🫂
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!
Glad I could help!
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 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!❤️💫

Thank you! I just turned my first ever heal and it was painless! Nice to knit w you!
Yay! Just turned my heel. Yes, it is exciting! Taking a moment to just enjoy

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. 🤗
The best videos for 2 ATT socks knitting ❤️
Thank you so much. It's my first sock knitting project and I was stuck on the pattern. Your video made it simple and clear.
Every clear , thorough instruction ! This is my first knitted sock and it turns out great. Thank you
Wonderful!
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 ☺️
My first heel and yes it was very satisfying! Thank you 🙏!
You’re welcome 😊
I haven’t made socks in so long, I’ve forgotten how to do the heel. Thank you For the video. Quarantine sucks.
thank you so much, I have been struggling with a pattern, but you made it so simple !
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!
The best tutorial!!! Thank you. Love you!!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial, it is very helpful !
Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

I'm catching up with this tutorials, so helpful!
Glad you like them!
Thank you!!!!!! Love the explanation. Love the formula. Great teachng.

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

I would knit the two extra rows. Also, doing so will ensure that the instep or the arch of the sock is large enough.
@@PurlTogether Thank you very much.
Absolutely, positively, fabulous. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.

Excellent instructions 😊
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!
Thank you, should have watched your video the first time. You didn’t mess up and explained clearly.
You’re the BEST! Thank you !✌️❤️
I Have 22 each needle. How many rows up flap do I do. Help
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.

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🤔
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 👍👍
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.
What brand needles do you use for magic loop. I see they are bamboo. Thank you for such an enlightening class.
These are just from the Knit Picks Interchangeable wooden set.
Thank you very much for the very nice tutorial! :)
Glad it was helpful!
You’re my go to place for remembering how to do the heel turn. Do you recall the name of that lovely purple and grey yarn you used when showing the other sock you were working? I think it was about 12 mins. into the video. Thanks!
It's Regia Garden Effects. I posted a link for you as a response to your question in the facebook group. Thanks for watching.
Great class! Thank you!
The yarn is beautyful, do you remember the brand?
If I recall, it's just Lion Brand Wool Ease from the depth of my stash, years ago.
My husband has arthritis in the ball of his foot, so I was wondering about the idea of padding that part of the foot. I first thought of knitting the ball with two strands of yarn, but realized pretty quickly that won't work knitting in the round. I don't think you'd want the extra padding all the way around. Any thoughts about this? I was wondering if I could pad the bottom by working an extra layer into the knitted stitches with a crochet hook.
I would suggest just doing the same slip stitch reinforcement that we implemented on the heel flap, when you get to the area that you'd like to have extra cushioning.
What brand of needles are you using? I like the points.
I'm using the Knit Picks interchangeable needles

Could you tell me when you get to the last stitch on heel flap you said to knit it in the back . Is it all the last stitch on the back or only the knit side. Or both knit side and purl side
When you reach the last stitch on the right side (the knit side) you'll knit the last one through the back loop. On the wrong side (the purl side) you'll slip the first stitch and purl the rest normally.

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:

What size yarn and needles are you using. You said your yarn is thicker
It's sport weight. If I remember correctly, I was using a 3.5 mm needle (US 4)
Very beautifully expressed
Thanks 😊
Hi Jana, is there a chart or maybe you just know... what’s the “normal” length of the top part of a man’s dress sock? And does that measurement include the length gained by the heel? Thanks!
I do not know the answer. I'd have to google that one too.
I did, I gave me a range between 22 and 26 cms... so, if I choose the happy medium of 24cm (approx 9.5 “) should I stop at 7” to start the heel flap?
That would depend upon your row gauge. When you knit the heel flap, you'll want it to be at least the same number of rows at the number sts you have on the flap. For example if you have 36 sts for the heel flap, you'd knit at least 36 rows for the flap. (sometimes I'll knit more if I need to make a more rectangular flap, that will produce a larger circumference for the gusset) To calculate when you'd begin the flap, you'll want to measure how many rows you have per inch during the knitting of the leg portion. Then you'll know approximately how big heel flap will be. Does that make sense?
Thanks for that reminder! I knew that, but had not yet thought of it! Thanks again!
Thank you so very much.
