How to Knit Socks on 2 Circulars / A Tutorial by Crazy Sock Lady

[@snowyowlknitter5039]

Finally! Recognition that there are people who use two circular needles with socks. I was taught this way and love it:) I actually like it better than magic loop!

[@dianefriary2521]

I love the Crazy sock lady. She is highly intelligent, a very skilled knitter and an excellent teacher. I recommend her strongly for her "how to" tutorials. I am going to make all my socks now with her method of using 2 circular needles to make a sock!

[@CrazySockLady]

❤️❤️❤️

[@susiedisney2527]

That's why two circular needles are always sold out!

[@ianmcdonald8648]

this widower is looking to make his first pair of socks soon hopefully. Explanation was good and very nice finished product - it will take some practice for me, but I think even this bloke should be able to follow your instructions.

[@tonijooss6291]

This method must be very popular as I had a hard time finding 16" size 1 circular needles even online. I know it takes practice but I hope to make my socks as perfect as the instructor someday. This is one of the best tutorials making socks I have ever seen!! How lucky are we that we can stop and start the video as we need to. I am so excited to be making socks!!! Sock yarns are getting so irresistible

[@nessakennedy7864]

Your tutorials are first class....so explanatory making it easy for the knitter.

[@nellstults5432]

I have been watching this video over and over while I have been crocheting a ginormous ripple afghan, got that finished yesterday. Today I started this pattern and method and have completed the rib and 6 rounds for the leg, I am so excited!!! It looks like it is supposed to look and 2 circulars are so easy to use!!! I so enjoy listening to you, Kay, you don't say umm every other word. lol! Thank you so much!!!

[@QuiltgirlBrenda]

I finally made my first pair of socks , thanks to this tutorial!!! I will be using it over and over! I’m addicted. I love your channel.

[@susiedisney2527]

Good addiction! Plus you have new socks. I don't do knee highs, I do about short ankle socks

[@colleenisaac6647]

I found some better ways to start my socks thanks to this tutorial!

[@dominiquelajus4238]

I loved this podcast as usuel , rollercoasters are not my thing so I can understand Wyatt

[@brendaorton1174]

Thank you so much. I bought a pair of knitted socks, minus the toes. They came with yarn and NO instructions, needles and just safety pins holding the stitches. They had been done on 4 needles! I was able to finish them from your video using circular needle that I had! Love them! 😊

[@micheledelacruz4301]

My favorite, thank you. A helpful tip to me too was to use a wooden needle for one of your 16" so you know the difference between the front and the back, using the sharper needle for the back of the sock to make picking up stitches easier.

[@junemandelaro510]

I just love this idea. I have tried so many socks and they all came out terrible. I always have ladders at both ends. I can't wait to try the the two sets of needles. You are a great teacher and give alot of helpful tips. Thank you for doing this tutorial.

[@karlamilton5281]

Awesome instruction. Thanks for showing me a way to make socks without using double points. Mom always used double points but I just never got the hang of it. Way too slow. This is perfect.

[@lindahoward6322]

I love this! So much less fiddley than magic loop.

[@ginnerlucreates1884]

Hi Kay! Thank you for this video. I normally knit my socks magic loop but I think this method will be easier on my hands with the ends of the non working needle hanging down. Now all I have to do is order more 16” circulars 😊

[@judygibbens2025]

Thankyou for this great tutorial. It's the best method for me. I use two different coloured circular needles so I can't get them mixed up👍

[@janicegrima6593]

Hi it's Giovanna again. Thanks for showing us how it's done. I like to thank you as I done my first vanilla socks 💖

[@djones7130]

I use 2-24inch needles cause I love love TAAT sock knitting. Love all your tutorials, learned a lot!

[@cathymartin8778]

Excellent! I knew this would work!

[@janetmiles9306]

Thank you. I have never knitted a sock before. My local shop advised me to use two needles, but I would never have had success without your help. I managed to irradiate the hole at the heel edge by picking up my last stitch from two rows below beyond ‘the slack’. I have a 4/5 UK foot size and knitted 25 rows after the heel for the foot before working the toe. I didn’t have your fancy ruler😀. Hope this helps someone else.

[@margaret8068]

I definitely have to order these needles this is something I have not tried yet Thank you for sharing 💞

[@sharbear1968]

Thank you! You turned me into a sock knitter! I love this technique. Nothing else worked for me.

[@RMoss-kz2vg]

Thanks, Kay, for another great tutorial; you're such a wonderful teacher! I've learned so much from your tutorials and truly enjoy all your podcasts; never miss one. And, my goodness - I never knew there were so many different ways to knit socks. Thanks again for all your hard work!

[@amyfox_in_sox]

I always learn new tips/ tricks even if you’re teaching a method I’ve been using for years! Thank you So much Kay!

[@ynwakabayashi]

Thank you for this tutorial. It finally made sense and I am now switching to two circulars method. This is so much easier- the tension of the stitches are aligned better than the ones made of 4 DPs!

[@shelleymisenheimer6515]

I am new to knitting socks. I love this method so much! Thank you for your wonderful instruction.

[@maryjustice5290]

Great video. I have been knitting socks this way for years...only difference is I cast on 2 at a time. Makes 2 identical socks. Perfect!

[@nicktalbot2748]

hi i just wanted to say that i am a brand new sock knitter and started with magic loop witch i can do but then tried 2 16 inch needles and instantly fell in love with this method thanks to your video i completed my 1st sock casting on my 2nd one now

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

My sock knitting daughter is flying in on Friday to go on vacay with us and I’m looking forward to learning to knit socks so I can join her in the fun!

[@mariesmith6]

Ty so much for this video , I can knit sock with dons but this way I found it much easier and your explanations are so easy to understand, you are. A great teacher , ty!

[@gypsyqueencrafts36]

Thank you for this fabulous tutorial. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you. Hx 💕🇬🇧

[@sonettevermaak9641]

I have been waiting for this tutorial! Thank you

[@greenmanatee6462]

Thank you, very helpful and to the point, also like how you pick up the gusset stitches, pointing out that extra stitches here will help fill in any gaps, that is the easiest fix I have seen 👍

[@juliecondon6933]

Trying this with worsted weight yarn and 2 size 5 needles. Socks will be for my husband.

[@Teresakloeppel]

Thank you for the tutorial, you’re socks are wonderful.

[@noreenwojtan2859]

Such a great tutorial! You’re a terrific knitting teacher!💕

[@jeannievega1639]

Refresher course for me, I love knitting socks with two circulars needles. Wonderful job Kay.

[@katarzynatoeplitz3805]

This is by far my most loved method of knitting socks. I 've tried DPNs, Magic Loop (not a fan), Addi CrasyTrio and this. This is, for me, the easiest method to control the tension and is very quick. Thank you Kay for introducing this method :) Happy knitting :)

[@katibuggg1]

Ahh thank you so much. Im running to your shop to buy 2 circulars and the sock ruler. I love this video tutorial.

[@CrazySockLady]

Thank you! ❤️

[@katibuggg1]

@@CrazySockLady thank you too 😁

[@karenboehlert7862]

Kay, thank you so, so much for your excellent tutorials. I am really enjoying knitting socks on all different needles because of them. I just finished shorties on magic loop and now ready to do socks on two circulars. You are a wonderful teacher! ⭐️💗⭐️

[@maryfreiberg]

I can’t believe what a good teacher you are. As a teacher myself….I appreciate your very clear instruction

[@candeeharris7509]

Hi Kay, I'm enjoying this method of knitting socks., I'm a diehard DPN knitter. The tutorial was really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for teaching so well....

[@Mama2old1]

I never knitted a sock, but thanks to you I want to try.

[@CrazySockLady]

You can do it! ❤️ 🧦

[@Teacupyarns]

This was my first time trying 2 circulars. I love ❤️ it. Will definitely keep this one. Thanks for tutorial.

[@julielandy9162]

LOVE THIS!!Thank you for the tutorial. This way us do much faster. I have been using DPNs but no more. This way is wonderful!!!

I was just looking into casting on my second with two circulars which is perfect. Thank you! Happy Summer Sock 🧦 Camp ⛺️ Everyone!

Thank you

Thank you.

[@beckerabstracts]

I like this method. My needles were two different lengths but it ended up telling me which was needle one. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!

[@celiabell9466]

Followed your instructions and learned a lot. My socks are a lot neater now.

[@mbmbakeaholic]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL! Great Job!!! It will be a forever reference!!

Thank you Kay, really great Tutorial, I usually use magic loop but I'll give this a go. Jo xx

[@mikithompson745]

So excited about this. I’ve always wanted to try it.

[@joanarruda3680]

Great video. Now I love 9 inch circulars and long tail cast on. Thanks.

[@lorraine392]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial Kay! You are a fabulous teacher!

[@bunnieswitzer2522]

I would like to try this method, but it seems a little fussy. But don’t know until you try. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Stay safe and be blessed.

Angela wright hi knitting Matty thank you for sharing with me on how to knit a pair of socks 🙂🌹⚘

I’ve heard about this method but haven’t tried it yet. I’m recently retired, so will be trying it in the near future. Thank you for sharing!

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, I have not knit for like 10/12 years since I learnt to crochet 😋 but recently knit myself about 4/5 shawl/scarfs 💕 & I really want to myself some Plain vanilla socks 😁Thank You 💙 I have been watching all your videos to find the best method for me to understand & follow 😁 with this tutorial for me it was very hard to see your stitches with the dark yarn 💜but I have watched your video with 9" circulars, so I think I might of understood what you was doing.

[@annotlewski1104]

I am usually a magic loop-er, but I think that picking up the gusset is easier with the two needles.

[@jchung145]

Your tutorial is everything I need. 🥰🤩

[@signekleinot9045]

Hi Kay, I just finished my FOURTH pair of socks following your excellent tutorial! I’ve come to appreciate every extra bit of information you share in your video. I once thought sock knitting was too complicated for me but you have turned me around 😊! Thank you.

I want to do two socks on magic loop! But...I may have to try circular! This came in perfect timing.

Thank you for this tutorial! I’m almost finished with the cuff and am enjoying the two circs! Might be my new go to for sock knitting.

[@CrazySockLady]

Yay!!

[@govidgordana2293]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much 😊

[@mydogky]

thank you I find using the two circular needles so much better than the magic loop method, my stitches are so much better, no gaps, I also find the chaiogoo needles better to use as well, will definitely use this method from now on.🇬🇧

[@paddycoan3933]

I love to try a new technique! Thanks...

[@kathyfowler5617]

I'm trying two circular needles. It looks easier than majic loop. Double pointed needles next, that one is a challenge.

[@CookwithCatalina]

Wow, a new method!! Cool!! However, little by little we are going back to 4 needles.Let's wait what the next year tutorial will bring :)) Thank you for keeping us awake! Cheers!

[@snowyowlknitter5039]

It is a very different experience than DPN knitting:)

[@aliyakinnakatsik5073]

I want to try this. I have to order more needles 😩❤, all my needles are being used for socks lol so many projects

[@BlessedBaubles]

Such a great teacher! And lovely too. Thank you for being so patient and specific for all of us beginners! I hope to make many great socks. I made your beginner socks and although a bit tough for me starting from scratch, I am in love with handmade socks! Yum. Thanks again.

[@BJ7481]

Thank you, it's great to learn new methods. I'll have to order two more needles (already own 2 size 2.25mm 16 inch needles), I like to knit my socks two at a time. BJ

[@JanisGagliardi]

When you start heel turn on knit side does the first slip stitch count for one of the 16 stitches you knit ?

[@evaespitia5158]

Thank you so much Kay great tutorial

[@JanisGagliardi]

for heel flap on knit side do you knit in back of last stitch?

Thanks!

[@susiedisney2527]

Thank you for sharing this video on how to knit with 2 needles. I saw the title (before watching) I thought you were knitting 2 socks at a time, not just one! Have you done 2 socks like that? 🤔 Interesting!

[@ursulaschneider4356]

Hi there, I'm on my second sock making effort. First I tried the DPNs but I kept dropping all the stitches off the ends of the needles....oops. So I decided to switch to two circulars. However, both times, when I got to the heel flap I had the same problem...as soon as I got to the SpwPacross row, everything is getting super tight. This time I dropped a whole bunch of stitches and I can't seem to correctly reapply them to the needles. Ackkkkk. do you have any thoughts?

[@sueking3915]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. Perhaps a silly question but cound this be done using two 9 inch circular needles? Blessings from Greece

[@annegraheck5713]

I have the same question

[@dianastrub3669]

I’m elderly and have a difficult time seeing the darker yarn. It would be nice to see the socks on two circular needles with a lighter color. I love your teaching . I just struggle seeing with the darker yarn. Thank you so much. I love your teaching. And your voice. Your teaching is very helpful. Thank you❤

[@CrazySockLady]

Try increasing the brightness on your screen ❤️

[@TabithaKristen]

I've used this video SO much. Thank you! I have a question though. Every time I get to my gusset, after picking up the sts and getting ready for the decrease, all of my sts are SO tight on the needles and I don't knit particularly tight. Am I doing something wrong?

[@dianastrub3669]

I’m trying to understand the written and tutorial on the heel flap. I’m not looking like yours. Help

[@janicegrima6593]

Hi its Giovanna from Malta . I am trying to do your sock . I bought some addicrasytrio novel long from England while I was on my holiday . It's my first time trying to do a pair of socks . Can I be able to know how should choose right size needle ? ARE IF I CAN BUY FROM YOU.. thanks for showing us how it's done

[@amandamcgregor7862]

Hello is there a written pattern for this sock pattern technique/

[@susanmoore9321]

Just wondering what the advantages are for using 2 circular needles - I’ve always used magic loop method

[@annotlewski1104]

I think that this is a less awkward way to pick up the gusset stitches.

[@snowyowlknitter5039]

It's nice having extra needles if/when you have to pick up lost stitches!

[@DillyDahlia]

I’ve wondered this myself. This is the only method I haven’t tried yet…always end up going back to magic loop. Thank you Kay for doing these tutorials!

[@lindahoward6322]

@@DillyDahlia You have to try this. I’ve tried every way and this is the most comfortable and most logical and easiest to do. Magic loop is very similar, but there seems to be more fidgeting with moving the stitches around. I don’t like DPNs because if you drop a needle it becomes a search and find exercise.

[@haydensorrentino914]

I’m using that to knit a mens sock. The show size is 11 US mens and the circumference it 10”. Should I use the medium or large pattern?
