How to Knit Socks on Knitting Machine | Quick and Easy Sock Tutorial | Addi Express

[@inescarradice]

This is very useful, thanks. I have been given one of these machines and I have struggled with it because the instructions are so sketchy. This makes it so clear.

[@MissticalRulez]

I reviewed a lot of these tutorials and honestly yours is probably one of the best out there! I can't wait to see what else you have! Thank you!

[@nessasknots]

Thank you so much!! I'll have more tutorials coming very soon once I have some extra time after the summer! (kids are home so video making has been hard lol! 😂)

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

perfect, thanks 4 posting this. I went with a flat toe oin on mine and need to finish the top edge, but delighted with the result. love this quick way to make socks. saving up 4 the king size addi to make jumpers.

[@nessasknots]

Let me know what color you would make your socks! 🥰

[@judywiggins5092]

Love your teaching techniques. I have the machine and been making house socks (as we call them) with a loose top. I will try your easy to follow directions. ❤

[@sarahkay8813]

If you have chonky calves, I highly recommend doing 75 rounds instead of the 100! It is a little shorter and not as slouchy but I find the modification more comfortable! Thank you so much for the pattern Nessa!

So easy to understand 🎉

[@nessasknots]

Yay!! Thanks for watching :)

[@may8779]

Thank you for this tutorial. I just received this machine today. I made a pair of gray and black for my husband. He loves them. So thank you so much.

[@nessasknots]

yay!! that makes me so happy to hear! 🥰

[@KorinaRijeka]

[@nessasknots]

@@KorinaRijeka this is the "addi" knitting machine :)

[@HappyCrochetLady]

[@nessasknots]

Thank you so much!!! 🥹🖤🖤🖤

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

Looking good!

[@nessasknots]

Thank you soo much!! 🥰

[@SassyStitchGillSS]

Just made sock one - I’ve used a bright variegated mc yellows greens and oranges with saffron cuff - the cuff is a little tight for me so I’m going to try a bigger hook to finish it next time… looking forward to making the second sock tomorrow… and may have a play with DK yarn as I have tons of it and it might just be a little stretchier for me thanks to my health condition I need a little bit of a looser but still a bit tight fit

[@georgiclifton6670]

Thank you this is the first item made on my new 22 needle addi. These are going to be donated. I can not use alpaca yarn. Nor wool yarn or mixes ty.

[@24Klaw]

Thanks I made these 💙 gray with pink cuff 🧦

[@nessasknots]

[@DarknesszMuze]

Love! 🖤💀🖤

[@nessasknots]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@patricksilva6433]

I would love to make burgundy socks 😀

[@nessasknots]

LOVE that idea!! 🫶🖤🖤🖤

[@heatherslade2566]

Can I do this in panel mode coz I do not have a 22 pin machine

[@tyggerdev]

You could make your 22 stitch tube by doing a panel of 21 stitches and then using "mattress stitch" to join your sides creating a tube. Once you have your tube, follow the rest of her instructions.

[@amywyse]

Can you use lighter weight yarn in this machine somehow?

[@nessasknots]

I would say a weight 4 would be the best!! I've tried a lighter weight, and it sadly came out pretty holey. 😭

[@heidilady]

@@nessasknotsaw. That’s rather disappointing

[@kimdunlap8050]

What is the best kind of yarn to use to make socks. #needhelp

[@nessasknots]

If you're using a knitting machine like this one, worsted weight works best with the machines I've found. Too thin and things end up holey, too thick and it ends up jamming the machine!

[@ideagd1414]

How did you do the end of the sock the toe ?

[@pjaypender1009]

She didn't. She just cinched the end closed.

[@nessasknots]

I just pulled the end tight, and then weaved my ends in! :)

[@morganredman106]

What knitting machine is this? ☺️

[@nessasknots]

This is the addi express with 22 pins! 🖤

[@kharahogans26]

Can I do this with a 48 needle machine?

[@tyggerdev]

48 stitches is way too big for socks, its more for hats. You could make a 22 stitch tube by doing a "panel" of 21 stitches and then using "mattress stitch" to join your sides creating a tube. Once you have your tube, follow the rest of her instructions. So, not impossible, just more complicated.

[@brandondolguin]

The tutorial is nice however, very difficult to see with the black yarn. Maybe in the future use lighter yarns for your tutorials. Otherwise I did enjoy. Thanks

[@nessasknots]

I totally agree! This was one of my first tutorials and I make sure to use lighter yarn in my newer ones. I'm glad it could help you though either way! I am planning on redoing this tutorial in the future with better yarn. 🥰

[@loveller]

My first time on your channel. Why do you talk about doing something and then edit out how you did it? Did you close the toe part with secret magic?

[@nessasknots]

Hi! This was my second ever tutorial from last year I believe so I must admit it does need a rework - but I do show closing the toe in the video around the 04:50 mark. You just pull on the string, and then weave your ends in! :)

[@Bobbakerfield]

Great tutorial. I feel like this is cheating. I also feel like instead of hand cranking you should hook a drill or something up to the crank so you don't have to do it by hand. If you're going to cheat, go all the way haha.

[@nessasknots]

That's such a good idea!! I've seen others do that as well, and it looks like it goes soo much faster lol!

[@debrasonner5970]

Have you tried this method? I do both methods. To me to say this is cheating is like saying if you don’t cut ice and make a cold room to preserve your food, then you are cheating at refrigeration! Same goes for cleaning clothes, do you use a wash board and tubs? This does take skill and has a huge learning curve. Maybe when you get older and your finger and wrist joints wear out you might be willing to “CHEAT” at knitting. I knit for the under privileged and I can tell you they do not care how the hats scarves and gloves were knitted or crocheted just that they are now warm.

[@aussiekingofmongrels]

4:57 how?

[@nessasknots]

I'm not sure what you mean - you weave the end in the same way you would with any other project. 🤔
