How to Knit a sock without Turning a Heel by ARNE & CARLOS

In this week's episode, we take a look at how to knit a sock without heel. The sock design that we have come up with is called a "Spiral Sock" in Norway. It's a fun sock to knit and the diagonal spiral design ensures a perfect fit on the foot and heel. Just knit the desired length and that's pretty much it! It's super easy!!
You will find the full pattern for the sock by visiting our online shop at www.arnecarlos.com

Google tells me that women were encouraged to knit spiral socks for soldiers in World War I. The heel of a sock has a tendency to wear out before the rest of it, but in spiral socks this can be prevented by placing the heel of your foot in a different part of the sock each time you wear them.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for this interesting historical information. Is there a specific website you can direct us to ?

[@Sylvia-Storm]

What a good idea.

[@cobyteune]

What a good information !

[@mayamartin7359]

Fantastic thank you!! I was raised in Alaska where the culture is no shoes inside (due to the horrific amount of snow/mud/slush). I very much want to return my tiny home to the no-shoes rule, my floors will stay so much cleaner. Providing some one-size-fits-all socks for guests will help so much. 🙏🏻

[@ARNECARLOS]

Clever!

[@crystalwright1504]

I love these socks!! Well done! Patons Canada had a free pattern called Spiral Bed Socks many, many years ago. It also used a four row repeat but didn't shift stitches from the end of the round to the beginning of the next. If anyone finds that difficult to understand, simply work in pattern. Rounds 1-4: K4, P4 to end of row. Rounds 5-8: P1, (K4, P4) to the end of the round, ending with a P3. In the next rounds, begin with one more P stitch at the beginning of the round. Eventually, your rounds will begin with a K st. By then, the pattern is clearly seen. My sister-in-law loved the ones I made for her and repeatedly asked for more. Unfortunately, the pattern sheet has been lost by me. Happy knitting!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for the comment!

[@robertarnsworth2464]

Thank you so much for the instructions!!!!💖

[@debido2u]

I love to make a spiral or tube sock for my grandsons because their feet grow so very fast that they can wear the handmade socks longer. And they love anything handmade from Nana ( me ) ❤️

[@devonlee1]

This is a great idea! I'm going to make my son some so they last longer.

[@jenspep]

You’re brilliant! I’m going to do this for my grandkids too. Thanks.

[@mysticmaven6261]

Yes, I'm thinking tube sock 🙂

[@ashleysimmons3210]

How do you do the toe part (if you are doing toe up)? I’d love to make these socks, I just don’t know how to do the toe part! You seem very experienced!😁😁

[@lizadams7662]

I've done spiral socks a bit differently -- five knit, one purl, odd number of stitches, and it forms a nice design and a spiral sock. It's a great concept. Much simpler than it looks.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sandradavenport713]

Using a very similar method but from the cuff down, is how I started knitting socks about 25 years ago. I knitted a dozen or more pairs for my son when he went away to college. He said they were "chick magnets!" Even though I usually knit A&C's other patterns now, I recently finished a pair of spiral socks for another grown son who wanted thick socks. I knitted them from worsted-weight wool yarn that was half superwash and half nylon or acrylic. My son loves them and wears them almost every day. They are holding up fine.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Great!

[@altasheridan7815]

I love this! My mom used to make spiral socks. She learned the pattern as kid, knitting socks to send to the Merchant Navy in WW2 and stuck with it, Another of those things I wished I'd paid more attention to when I was little

[@ARNECARLOS]

Your mom did some great things! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Stephlovesnapping]

Making these for my Dad, can’t wait to see how they fit!

[@sarbearcrafty]

Ooh I love the idea of a no heel sock! Super easy to take on the go for a newer knitter without having to check a pattern. I hope to find the pattern for this! 💗

[@ARNECARLOS]

Sarbear's Creative Cave you can get the pattern on our website:, here is the link. Enjoy! www.arnecarlos.com/shop

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Ruby

[@reginachristensen4308]

Perfect! Now I can knit the same socks for my 4 year old and my one year old! You guys make me so happy! X

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for your comment!

[@luannw7769]

Great project! Thank you for the explanation on how to pull the yarn differently. The advantage of keeping those old magazines is finding ideas. What is old is new again. See you next week.

[@kimberlyannmoran9939]

"Where the hell are the mountains"...Carlos, you make me laugh! I would love to see Regia put up bigger skeins of your kids colours, I have been making your teddy bears recently (which are brilliant), and I think your colourways are fantastic! I didn't notice Freja on the sofa until she barked, which in turn gave my dog the idea to bark as well! Love to all three of you from Boston, MA.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have a nice day and say hi to your dog!

[@jennifercongdon4583]

Always great to see what you are up to. Thank you for sharing your spiral sock. I love that you love Freya. I have 5 rescue dogs and the barking always means something. The dogs can smell or otherwise sense something. Love Arne and Carlos. Two good people.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You must have your hands full with 5 dogs! Thank you for watching and see you next Sunday!

[@kaylaralph7041]

Fantastic! I was talking about a sock without a heel to a customer this weekend - I can now direct them to your pattern - and fantastic idea using the kids Regia for trainer socks - I’ve used it to make normal socks with a short row heel but now I have another option ♥️♥️

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad to help. Good luck with your knitting.

[@peterska63]

I would be happy just to watch you having breakfast and chatting. But, I'm even more happy to have you teach us new techniques. Time to grab my needles.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have fun knitting! What is your current project?

[@barbaravickers2103]

Another wonderful Sunday morning with Freya, Arne & Carlos! Yes, please make the colors for adults too!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you liked it! Have a nice Sunday.

[@jenniferc6018]

We absolutely want Regia kids' colors in adult sizes!!! Thanks. You two are the very best!

[@suegrohn2516]

The spiral sock looks like it would work well for my 94 year old dad who has some some foot and ankle problems. We have a difficult time finding socks that fit well. Thank you!

[@cindygamble264]

Thank you for showing how to knit sock . Love all the colors

[@ARNECARLOS]

Carlos, you were knitting the Norwegian way. You are inspiring us to try new techniques! Thanks again. We love you guys.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you liked it!

[@hurriyatjoseph1022]

Always happy to see you both . Every Sunday new to ponder . Thank you so much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have a great Sunday! What are your plans today?

[@Serenity-fu8xz]

Oh my Goodness you guys I am just getting into knitting socks and I learn how to knit in fourth grade in school so I’ve already knitted one pair of socks, but it was so long ago I don’t remember how and now I am learning again and this is the first pair that I am going to knit as an adult and I was so excited that I found your video. These are the coolest socks I’ve ever seen. Thank you so so much. I love you guys so much. Wow this is incredible thank you.❤

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

Lovely colours, fab video

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching.

[@joanwootton9388]

Great lesson! I want to try and knit my husband a pair of socks with no heels. My grandmother use to knit them, but she called them bed socks. They were probably bed socks because she knit all the same size socks. She knit until she died at 98, so I didn’t complain about the size. We still have some of her socks which we wear in our rain boots. Thanks Freya for helping me train my puppy. Kai likes to watch TV and she barks at the other dogs and animals. I have been teaching her not to bark and you helped me. She got a treat every time she did not react to you or your barking. Kai and I will be watching all your videos - They will teach me so much and train Kai not to react to animals on TV.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching, good luck with the socks!!

[@Lamara5292]

Love the kids sock colours and ankle socks are the best. 😃

[@ruthhuggins1033]

Mr. Finch’s book is wonderful. So glad that you have a copy!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes!

[@sandraribeiro1469]

Adored the video, every manner of knitting socks with you is the best ever. Loved to see Freja, kisses from Brazil! 👍🌹🍀

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching and have a nice day in Brazil!

[@tracireed2750]

Arne...you are so dear! Such a sweet spirit. Thanks for sharing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for you nice comment!

[@MarinaMandarinaWoolyWorld]

Freya is so sweet! She is full of personality 😍 just like my dog Rufus, smart enough to understand, but sure of herself enough to decide if she should obey or she knows best 😆 my kind of dog 🐕 love her! Plus she is my favorite breed 😁

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@karimonster]

This is such a fortuitous video for me! I've come up to my brother-in-law in my christmas knitting sock list and his feet are HUGE and I've been trying to figure out how best to do his socks. I think spiral socks will be absolutely PERFECT for those giant feet of his (one of his feet are the size of both of mine heel to toe) and will give him a great fit without me freaking out about where to put the heel in :D

[@annieboulton5759]

Hello Arne and Carlos. Gorgeous yarns. The mountains and Fjords is lovely. I love the colours. Thank you for your tutorial, the spiral sock is very clever xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@phoener]

Your needles make me smile! The tips are shaped just like the skis my father had in the late’30s and early ‘40s. As a child, he lived north of Mt Washington in New Hampshirite, and we used to joke he was born on skis. For some reason, he sawed the decorative tips off, and we were very upset with him!

[@cobyteune]

I think this is the easiest sock ! Thank you so much for showing !!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@YaYa-lz1zt]

Hi guys! Love you love your show. I’m still doing only crochet, but every time I watch your show I’m more determined to learn to knit, especially as I watch Arne. It’s like freakin magic!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you, we are happy that you feel inspired!

[@Chattycrafter2580]

Ok these are the socks I’ve been looking for, as winter is on its way here in Australia I’m knitting socks for all the family. Using the long tail from the cast on stitches as a stitch marker! What a good idea I have never seen you do that before or did I miss it. This is why people should subscribe to this channel there is always something new and very interesting. Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching and good luck with your socks. How many will you be knitting?

[@Chattycrafter2580]

Let me see, 6 grandchildren, 3 sons, 1 daughter, 3 daughter-in-law, someone is missing oh my husband that’s how many LOL 😂🤣😂

[@ceegee823]

I love brightly-colored socks! I would love the children's colors for adult sizes!

[@kathhollandful]

Love these. I will buy the baby Regia to make for my baby grandson. Such a great tip using the tail pulled over as a marker! Can't believe I've never done that! Arne & Carlos you are fantastic. Don't stop doing all this. You are enormously inspiring and encouraging. Very best wishes.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We wont and thank you so much for watching Katharina!

[@gailjackson4923]

Love Regia yarn and would love the kids colours in adult sizes ☺ thank you so much for sharing this pattern it's a good idea if you want to knit socks as a present for someone who you don't know the size of there feet, as this pattern doesn't matter ☺

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, it makes sock knitting a lot simpler.

[@lisab.9989]

What a great idea! Also, I'm glad to see Freja is adding her comments. :) My dog answers her!

What a clever way to do a spiral sock ! I've been trying the two easiest ones so I will try these when I want a change. I bought two pair of the Prym ergonomics and I am really liking them as well. Thank you for bringing some cheer and inspiration to my busy Sunday, have a wonderful week !

Have a wonderful week yourself!

[@jodyfrancis4244]

Happy Sunday Funday! Thanks for another great video and what a fantastic pattern! Its only been a year since I started knitting socks, because the heel always befuddled me. Thanks to your tutorial videos, bird pattern, and other lessons I've conquered the heel (mostly). Can't wait to try these out. Thanks once again for the weekly inspiration. 🎉 Hello to Freja Doggy! 🐶

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching and good luck with the socks. We are glad that we can help.

[@saraspangler890]

I think I will have to try the spiral socks, for some reason I am having trouble with my heels for the pair I am doing now. I love to see Arne’s clever hands in the tutorials.

Thank you for watching and good luck on your socks!

[@christinelinn9250]

Good evening Arne and Carlos it's smiling Sunday once again. Just loved your sweaters tonight. I have seen these spiral socks before but Arne you made it so easy and explain everything so well. As for your model with the trim ankles we'll what can I say but the sock looked lovely on Carlos the models foot. All we need now is two pairs for Freja to model haha! I did buy your pattern to do these socks. I an carer free for the next two weeks so can get up to mischief. Love you guys every Sunday. Take care of yourselves be good to each other and Freja have a good week see you next Sunday xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

Enjoy your Sunday!

I have never seen this kind of knitting. I like it very much it seems fun. I will give it a try. Love the color of the yarns I like selfstriping yarns. Very beautiful. Arne and Carlos you are so cute really and little Freya is so cute and amusing. Love Sundays with you.❤️❤️

I knitted a pair of spiral toe up socks for myself about 15 or so years ago. I recently started making them for the children of friends and family so they can do the wet sock treatment for colds and fevers.

Hallo there... am from Indonesia and I just find your channel. Thank you for the tutorials, they are easy to follow even for me as a newer in knitting. I will try how to hold the yarn like Arne does. Big thank you to you both. Love form Indonesia. God bless you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Celin Chamber welcome to our channel!

[@dtrout8254]

A really fun video. I love knitting regular top down socks as I haven’t yet tried a toe up sock but these do look fun. I don’t have problems knitting socks so not sure if I’ll try these or not. But the two of you make this sock look so fun so who knows, I may try them in the future. But the best part of watching this video is learning about the mountains and fjords yarn by Regia. I love the colors and will look for that yarn next time. I’m making “rainbow” socks right now for my grandsons out of OnLine Linie 12 which are knitting up beautifully but will look at the kids colors of Regia also since one grandson loves green and one loves red! Thank you!!

Hello Arne & Carlos Almost done with my first Arne & Carlos heel-less spiral sock! just a few more rounds of the ribbed cuff to knit then I can bind-off! Thank you for sharing the pattern, it’s a fun easy pattern to knit. It was a pleasure to meet you at String Yarns, NYC. I wanted to sign up for your stand alone Knit Stars Short Course but it closed before i was able to sign up. I hope you open it up again! Regards, Michele

[@jenspep]

I would love to see the kid colors in skeins for adult socks. Just because they are all grown up doesn’t mean their tastes and wants change. My kids still love bright colorful hand knit socks for Christmas. It’s always our family picture.

That is a great family tradition! When do you start knitting to make it in time for Christmas?
