I really appreciate how you explain the reasoning behind how you increase or why a stitch leans one way or another. It makes it so much easier to follow and remember when I understand the mechanics of what I’m doing. I’ve always struggled with increases and grabbing the right part of a stitch until now because I didn’t understand why it worked the way it did. You explain it beautifully.

Would you be so kind as to speak on why one would prefer using to stitch below rather the the bar between the two stitches to create a lifted increase?
@penelope-oe2vr4 күн бұрын
Raising the bar up will leave a hole and make the sock toe more angular than rounded, if that makes sense.

You did the second set of increases three stitches from then end of each needle so that they increases are not stacked. i got that. But, what happens for the third set of increases? Do you go back to doing them two stitches from the end of each needle? It looks like you did the third set of increases three stitches from the end of each needle again, but doesn't that mean they are stacked? Everything else was super clear - thank you!

Too fiddley until I realized the ml had the advantage of the cable easing tightness . I think I've solved it by casting on with one size larger needles. I then pinch and slide out the larger for the smaller dpns. I also carry the end of the yarn behind my working yarn till it's on the beginning of the round. Lots of thinking and challenges but perfect for keeping the brain working.

I can see how this is easier to understand Judy's Magic Cast On, but after you get the hang of it, I think it is the same, basically. I took a class from her and did not get it, but then in 2009 I took a class from Chrissy Gardiner to learn toe-up so I could do Cat's super fascinating, love all that math patterns. That was the year of the first Sock Summit, an idea given by Cat Bordhi to her retreat group. That was a huge awakening for me since I was a lone knitter learning only from books. Since then I've gotten into spinning because no one, still, makes the kind of yarn I want for socks. I'm using wool 2ply from Mountain Meadow Wool. They are a fascinating story in themselves. Started in order to save sheep ranchers in Wyoming. Just saved 7 shipping containers of yarn making machines from a Coats and Clark factory being scrapped. Great job! Anyway, I'm just starting a pair for a guy and I came here to learn fit. I reinforce the bottom of my socks with a yarn I spin. Custom. Then full the pair. That thickens and toughen. Yes, afterwards handwash, but I'm making these for hunting and fishing and farming. Nothing colder than SW IMHO. Thanks for the info. I'm subscribing. Great videos. I watched the swatch one. Really miss Cat being on the planet. Her classes were always a wealth of information, along with her brother. Merry Christmas!

Very nice tutorial. The Turkish cast on is easy to follow. I started my first toe up sock a while ago using Judy’s Magic Cast On. Cat Bordhi figured away to do the cast on so that all the stitches are properly oriented. I was just getting familiar with her when I found out she was dying. Very sad but her attitude was amazing. The increases I learned on the sock are the same ones you are doing. The pattern I’m using calls for alternating a stow of just straight knitting with an increase round. It’s just a different toe I’m sure. Your instructions are very clear and concise. I look forward to following along! It’s always great to learn new techniques! Thanks for sharing!

Just reading this. I just posted that was what I did. I didn't deviate on purpose I just watched almost all the video and thought I knew what she was going to do. LOL. I did 10 less stitches on each needle and when I got to the increases added a knit row in between each increase row. Maybe on my next pair of socks I'll do 14 less stitches. I couldn't find a guideline on that for rounded toe and, with straight knitted row in there each time, I didn't want too long of a toe box.

I use the Turkish cast on all the time and I agree it is easier than the other method you mentioned. But one thing that helps me a lot is once I’ve wrapped the yarn around both needles the 14 times, I wedged the length of the yarn in-between the ends of the two needles and that holds the yarn tight so I don’t have to hang onto it as I’m rotating the needles to start knitting. Just a tip I learned somewhere along the way! 😄

I want to make grandsons socks and they wear men's sizes 10 and 11. I don't know the diameter of instep, etc. But, thought if I just turning this pattern into ribbing (multiple of 4), then it would give them enough stretch to work. What do you think? What number would I cast on and work up to total count? Thanks in advance. Blessings!

Your pattern on Ravelry for the toe-up socks, gives very incomplete written instructions for the beginning from the Turkish cast-on forward. This video didn't address this either. I found other comments down below asking the same question I needed answered and wanted you to be aware that the directions, both in the video and the Ravelry pattern, are incomplete. It is not stated about repeating rows 3 and 4 until you reach the desired number of stitches around. I do, however, LOVE the Turkish Cast-on method and will use it from now on. Once I understand the rounded toe, I will be using it as well.

I have a separate video that shows the Turkish Cast. The link for that is in the video description. If you follow the Customizable Toe Up Pattern and use the Seam Free Rounded Toe, linked in the pattern, you'll see that you do not repeat rows 3 and 4, you carry on through row 10, then repeat rows 8-10 until 4 stitches less than the total desired number of stitches.

@PurlTogether Жыл бұрын
You could certainly substitute any heel you like! And yes, you'll want to start the heel later, after knitting the foot longer. Depending upon how many stitches you'll separate for the heel, usually half the total number, you'll be able to calculate the number of rows you'll need for your heel. For example, in my Shadow Wrap heel video, I show that I have 11 stitches on each side, so my heel will require 22 rows to knit the bottom half. Since I know my row gauge from knitting the foot of the sock and can use that measurement to know when you begin the heel. Does that make sense?

I'll copy / paste my response to you from the Ravelry group. "Are you using worsted weight yarn? If you’re only using 48 stitches for the total sock circumference, I think I’d just cast on 8-10 sts on each needle to start, for a total of 16 or 20. Try it and see what you think! You can always take it out and do it over again if you don’t like the shape of the toe." I will also add that there isn't a specific ratio. Rather, it's about the shaping that you prefer and what fits your foot the way you like. The frequency of increasing is what creates the curve.

Sure, you can use whatever method of increase you like. Just be aware that it may (or may not) change the way the fabric looks.

It's just a matter of tension when you're doing the bind off. Did you use the same bind off technique that I show in the last video of this series?

Hello, I would like to know the number of stitches to make for the tip of the foot for a person who wears 13. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Do you have the person's foot measurements? Specifically the circumference around the ball of the foot?
