KNITTING TUTORIAL - FAST & EASY THICK SOCKS

[@TheAlliy]

This has to be the most calming knitting tutorial I have ever seen :) knitting, and now apparently watching knitting tutorials, is better than meditation! Thank you so much :)

[@iKNITS]

lol that is awesome! So fun to hear that!

[@ren_popp]

I have literally been crying for half an hour because after I couldn’t find any video to properly teach me the knit stitch purl stitch transition. This has been the only thing to help me, so thank you

[@Ashbringerarchus]

I'm a re-enactor and I always had a hard time finding appropriate boot socks for winter. These go so quick they're perfect! Thanks so much for this! Keep up the good work. These are great in snow!

[@rebeccalaforce9941]

Wow!!! Thank you so much!! I have been STRUGGLING trying to teach myself how to knitt socks. I have purchased EXPENSIVE video classes and several expensive books, although books are always good, but I just could NOT "get it". A friend recommended I try KZbin. I came upon your video and it all FINALLY clicked!! Your simple no frills, relaxed approach is reassuring. To see you actually drop stitches and make an "oops" PROVES. even normal "mistake making" humans CAN KNITT SOCKS!! BEST, sock video EVER!! Grammy WILL be passing out "HAND MADE" socks for Christmas, thanks to you!! :-)

[@iKNITS]

lol you are the best! This comment made my day. Thank you so much and I am so glad I was able to help!

[@Fashionluvxox]

Your voice is so calming. I enjoy listening

[@ashleyjensen191]

Thanks so much for putting the patterns along with your videos. I'm learning to read patterns and your videos help me follow them along and get used to their strange language. Your videos are great!

[@peggierickson7039]

Such a great video. I would never have had the courage to try socks without this video! One thing that would have been helpful for me is if you had paused between the major parts of the sock to show how the piece should look... how many stitches are on the needles, how many markers and how many stitches between the markers. I got a little lost down by the toe...and was not sure how many stitches should be between marker 2 & 3 and between marker 3 and 4. My socks came out fine, but I know there were a few mistakes in decreases along the way,

[@MsMagicweaver]

just checked out your facebook page, you are so kind, precious and just an all round lovely person I'm proud to be learning from you!

[@iKNITS]

MagicBugzz I can't believe I didn't see this before! One of the nicest comments I've received, thank you. It means so much to me that you took the time to tell me that. Have a great day and keep knitting!

[@MsMagicweaver]

ah well we find stuff when we need to see it :D o~hug~o

[@majaantonieolerud9347]

You are amazing! Finally someone who takes this slow enough for beginners like me. Mostly it goes too fast and without any good explanations so thanks a lot! I might try to make something like this tomorrow. Tried 3 different socks earlier today(from 3 different tutorials) but it all got too fast for me so I gave up.

[@iKNITS]

Oh yay! That's so good to hear!!! Let me know how it goes if you do try it :)

[@jadeybenjami3179]

i love the way you are creatives we can call on face time

[@dtoledanes]

This is great for a beginner! Need to invest on different types of needle and yarn.

[@samiefellows6203]

I agree - looking at the description "fast and easy" and as I typed in "beginner" I found the 4 needle thing really confusing. The tutorial is great and the socks look so amazing! But it would've been nice to have an explanation on the 4 needle part but I understood the rest pretty well :)

[@Russian_lore]

This is an old video, but I must tel you, I absolutely adore your videos!!! It’s sad reading some of these comments (everyone’s gotta have an opinion) and just wanted to say I personally think your an amazing teacher!! I really appreciate your videos!!

[@glentrush9176]

I’m only a few months into knitting so gauging is rough for me sometimes. Totally appreciate how easy this was to follow. The heel is tricky but through perseverance it can be done 😀

[@Mziggy3771]

Thank-you for your tutorial! I just taught myself to knit and have been wanting to do socks but I struggle visually with patterns. You are very thorough thank you!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄

[@aliciatran5108]

You're super talented!! You make such advanced and beautiful looking things! Love your channel👍👍👍

[@angelcardona2768]

Tip if you get a removable stitch marker such as a bobby pin , attatch to to caston adjacent to the first needle

[@momsofthefuture]

Everytime I am looking for a nice project, I found it on your channel! thank you!

[@iKNITS]

That makes me so happy!

[@reneelanier3475]

Wonderful wonderful tutorial! You are the only one I finally found who shows a slow enough and close enough tutorial! Thank you!

[@cristysauceda4339]

I love your tutorials! Please keep them coming! :)))

[@lyndsayapril1486]

I don't mean to be rude I enjoy your videos but you honestly need to speak up cuz I can barely hear you

[@iKNITS]

Noted. Thanks!

[@Tinkertotz13]

+lyndsay april Yeah I have the same issue. The music at the beginning is so loud and then she is so quiet lol.

[@roseclark5075]

lyndsay april this

[@ashley35242]

It may be your volume or she may need to adjust hers since she is soft spoken to always on high so others when they turn it up are louder then her actual voice. I'm like that too no one can ever hear me either so I've adjusted

[@brownjackpaws]

I have a hard time understanding your pattern but I love those socks lol so I am going to keep doing it until I get it. Thanks

[@hannahsekovski9247]

I started off very excited to begin this project. As in the beginning you explained so well and it made sense what I was working on, and i appreciated that. However, the further down the sock i went your directions started to make 0 sense, i constantly referred back to the written directions- but i am i visual learner( hence why i'm watching ur video lol). Maybe in ur future videos you could further explain EVERY DETAIL. for example, after the picking up 8 stitches I was completely lost bc u neglected to inform us how to do that part.I made up my own pattern for the rest of the sock. I do like your videos, but more detail and precise movements would be appreciated. also not skipping over main points that most people would struggle with.

[@iKNITS]

Hannah Sekovski it's hard to guess what people will struggle with or not, I felt that I showed enough at the beginning for you to accomplish the rest of the sock. Thank you for your input, I am always trying to make better videos.

[@tobygolding1893]

i might need ur video i been at this all day how do those 10 catch up and yes written is as confusing

[@cloudify3969]

I don’t get 1:16 what is that? But by the way if u read this, this is a great thing to make in quarantine, thank you!

[@littlekb13]

Iam really lost on the heel part. The camera is too zoomed (sometimes i need to see the whole sock to be sure iam doing well) not only your fingers and the actual knit.

[@tobygolding1893]

u need to go to pattern i had to

[@amandamarie2660]

I'm lost as to what part she is doing when I'm trying to follow along but I also want it to be the right size for me or my husband did she knit the ankle first or the foot first

[@rebeccaandrews9757]

Wish that you would put in a colored heel and toe . This is the best tutorial, I have found. Thank you,you do beautiful work.

[@kristengrant7739]

can you do these again using circular needles?

[@tobygolding1893]

yes

[@christinalee3047]

Please do because that would be really helpful I don't know about everyone else but I don't have 3 double pointed needles

[@newtonburch1624]

I wish I had this pattern for two needle socks.

[@freshbeanne]

My first knitting teacher taught us to make a hat with DPNs, so I am glad to have that skills, it doesn't confuse me...Magic Loop is too weird for me but I would like to get comfortable with that some day so I could do 2 socks at a time because I definitely have 2nd sock Syndrome! It boggles my mind in the comments that anyone could get Magic Loop either written or by video! If DPNs are confusing to someone I don't know how they could learn the alternative! Or I just have a Magic Loop disability :(

[@iKNITS]

lol I think both of them are a little confusing at first. You should give it a shot! I prefer magic loop method because I don't have to worry about my stitches falling off. But that's great that you prefer DPNs!

[@thelightofthejedi9811]

would this be easier with a circular loom rather than three double pointed needles?

[@iKNITS]

Here's the link to the pattern: cache.lionbrand.com/printablePatterns/kwe-socks.pdf

[@orkitgal]

Cut the music out and the video would be great.

[@cg5616]

I have a pattern for socks just like this one honestly just reading it made me think no way to hard & difficult but showing me step by step & taking each different row at a time i know i can do it to!! thanks! everything you did i can do so this year is the year of socks!! :)

[@cherie316]

Those are cute. Thanks for sharing

[@Cocochantelle]

Girl whet? I saw three needles and thought Oh this must be an advanced tutorial. You lost me when you placed the fourth needle in the frame😱 🤣 I’m out of my depth.

[@suahsharee]

without this video I would have never been able to make this. Its was my first sock!! thank you so much!! perfect video!

[@iKNITS]

Suah Johnson yay!!! Congrats!

[@Toewalkerwoman]

great video! though I'm not this advanced I really like how you make your stitches slow enough to see. I could hear you just fine. thank you.

[@okaminess]

Loved everything about this vid.

[@redfairy2781]

can you make a challah infinity scarf?? it looks really cool and i would love to learn how to do it.

[@iKNITS]

The only one I found isn't for free, so I wouldn't be able to make a video of it :(

[@Elle-vu5wi]

Hi, I'm really confused about the part where you pick up 8 stitches. My Heel flap and heel turning has more than 8 rows (6 for the 3 inch flap and 6 for the heel turning, and the last 1 knit row). If I pick up only 8 without skipping a stitch, I have a huge "hole" between the gusset and the instep. Can you please explain in more detail on how to pick up the stitches? Thank you.

[@Bearleena]

Hi, I'm having problems at exactly this point too. I've picked up the 8 stitches and have them on the same needle as the first five, so that's 13 stitches - then the 10 instep stitches are opposite on another needle. I really don't know what you (and the written pattern) mean by 'knit across the 10 stitches' - with the second needle or with a third needle? How do I get the yarn over to the other side so I can pick up the 8 stitches on the other side. When you knit the 10 instep stitches do you pull the yarn tight between the needles? As Elle N says, this creates a gap below the 8 picked up stitches. I think Candace has the same problem, and the written pattern doesn't help at all, sadly. It's a pity, as the rest of the tutorial is really great and I've learned a lot. I've sent a mail to Lion Brand too asking for help - I'll post here if I find the answer.

[@laurakatesteadman194]

I am currently done picking up and knitting 8 stitches however I haven't quite made it back to the 10 stitches on my stitch holder. As in picking up 8 wasn't quite enough to get me back there. Is this wrong? Should I pick up a few more? I thought this might be because the yarn I'm using is a tad less bulky than the yarn suggested and maybe I knitted more rows to Achieve the 3 inches? I hope this question makes sense! Please advise!! :)

[@Audrey-ng4uw]

Yeah but what piece of yarn is what tho...?

[@karigeiger]

i know its the only part you didn't show, and its probably really straight forward, but how did you knit across the 10 stitches on the stitch holder at the heel? i feel like the working yarn is on the wrong side.

[@iKNITS]

Hmm, I don't think I had that problem. I just knitted it. Maybe you have to do one more round, and then knit them?

[@katiebaumhover126]

I have this same exact problem! I tried knitting another round but it just gets even more messed up. I'm stuck after knitting the ten off the stitch holder because the yarn is on the wrong side.

[@ashleyjensen191]

Katie Baumhover I have the EXACT same problem!

[@neuroticyogini]

Same here 😞 now I have done all this work.. And I almost have a sock.. I guess I should have watched through the whole video before committing so much time to this. Based on the first half, it was all step by step. Seems like the most important part was skipped.

[@iKNITS]

I'm not sure what you are confused on..you need help trying to put the stitches back on the needle and knitting the stitches?

[@tonyanaylor289]

When you knit all sts till 2 inches from actual length, where do you measure from? Heel or where you started knitting all sts around?

[@chertericamilam1246]

OMG this is amazing talent.

[@wolfiemozart2189]

Can you make a pattern with the smaller yarn on your website? With size US 4 needle. It's really hard to find big yarn here. Pleeeaaassee, I love watching your videos :)o

[@samnorr3051]

Thanks so much for this! There were moments when I got confused and lost, but I am very much a beginner at knitting(I feel like crocheting is wayyy easier) so in all I thought this was very well done! It definitely helped me when I was reading the pattern AND watching this video to understand everything. So thank you very much!!!

[@iKNITS]

Hey you're welcome! Ya I thought knitting was easier than crochet...but I learned how to knit before crochet so I think that's why. But I'm glad I was able to help!

[@spottedhideranch182]

3 min in and I am totally lost. How did you start on the other needles?

[@moonxmists]

Can you like... add subtitles? There are some points where even with my phone’s volume maxed I can’t hear a word you say =\

[@emilypierson6530]

I reeeeeaaaaaally want to make these!! I was wondering I have a small foot 6 1/2. I'm looking for snug high socks like these to go under my rain boots. I know from crochet you can drop a needle size/yarn size to obtain a smaller size. Do you think its possible to drop a needle size with this yarn or to try this with a smaller size yarn ? I'm new to knitting and I made the garn studio rewritten pattern cable slippers as my first pattern project and they came out awesome!!!! I absolutely love your videos!!!

[@iKNITS]

Hey so what I love about this pattern is that you can measure it to fit your foot exactly! So the pattern is the same, until you get to the end, which is close to the toe part. I have the written pattern link underneath the video in the description bar and it will explain how to make them your size! And thank you! You are so sweet!

[@candacemezick5383]

after you added the first 8 stitches I wish you wouldn't have skipped the video. I'm totally lost now.

[@iKNITS]

Candace Mezick are you following along with the written pattern? That should help you, I "skipped" it because I explained what to do next...knit the next 10, and then on the other side you pick up 8 sts. The exact same way as I showed you on the other side. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions

[@Tinkerbell2s]

I have to agree with Candace. I was following along with you and the written and was going great but as soo as we got past picking up the 8 I still have no clue what to do. I'm completely lost 😢

[@laurahope5447]

@@Tinkerbell2s I am at the same spot and totally lost. It says knit across 10 sts for instep. Is this the ones on the stitch holder? If I do that there will be a huge hole on both sides. Also the markers are on the end??? Please explain for us just starting out. I am afraid to screw it up at this point. The video zooms in too close and I can't for the life of me figure it out even with written instructions

[@Tinkerbell2s]

@@laurahope5447 I finally figured it out after watching "Kelley's Sock Class - Gusset Part 1" on the channel "Knitpicks". Maybe it can help you too! I did still have a hole on each side, but in Kelley's video she talks about that and the options for fixing or hiding the holes. Hope this helps!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I learned to knit on KZbin in January 2020 I love knitting so much!!! I love this tutorial!!! I’d like to make these socks but I’d like to knit two socks at the same time on magic loop. How can I transfer from dpns to magic loop?

[@heyyou1162]

Out of curiousity can you knit theses socks on circular kneedles? I struggle so much with dpn. Thanks! Love your videos as well!

[@iKNITS]

Hey You yes you can and I am with you there, I do not like DPNs! I always seem to drop a stitch and the tension is all over the place!

[@Mimi2JJG]

Hey there! So, I'm knitting the second slipper and with both slippers I'm finding two giant holes on either side of the heels. I'm guessing it's where the 8th stitch is that we picked up for the gusset and foot. This is my first pair of socks, so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Do you think it's because I'm not spreading out those stitches that we picked up enough? Also, love love love your tutes! I basically learned how to knit from you. 😘

[@naturada137]

+Sonia Parrella Yeah I had this problem for my first sock as well. I had it because I didn't properly pick up the stitches. You basically have to pull all the 8 stitches for the heel turning progressively closer to the gusset, so that you keep shortening the gap between the top of the heel turning needle and the gusset needle. Then you do the same thing on the other side except in the reverse direction. This video helps: "How to Knit Socks: Picking Up and Knitting the Gussets" by LionBrandYarn Good luck!

[@charity4613]

For the pick up and knit part, which stitches do you pick up? Is it the same one all eight times? At 15:47

[@dirkkuerschnerpeasantfield8913]

What do you do to keep the socks stronger if you're using all wool? Thanks

[@tobygolding1893]

perfect starting pair tomorrow but that 1 stitch i hope doesn't make dif wherever u lost 1

[@chaneacrawford7916]

I cannot tell exactly where I'm going wrong when I'm following you after you pick up the 8 stitches because the camera doesn't zoom out to show progress. I used slightly smaller needles and yarn so when I pick up 8 stitches there is still space before I connect to the 10 at the stitch marker. Can you please help?

[@iKNITS]

Chanea Grant hey I just want to make sure, are you following along with the written pattern?

[@iKNITS]

Chanea Grant hmm there still shouldn't be space if you've been doing the same amount of stitches. I'm not sure why, maybe you're picking them up in the same stitch so I would pick up your stitches with bigger gaps in between, so there is 8 sts. dispersed evenly in that space. Does that help?

[@alyssapeters9876]

I'm so very lost with the heel. I've picked up the 8 stitches but now I don't know how you got to the next part with having stitches on all four needles. I've read the directions but I still don't understand. I really wish you would have recorded all of that part.

[@iKNITS]

Alyssa Peters im sorry, sometimes it's hard to predict what people might need more help on. Because I showed you how to pick up the first 8 sts. The rest is knitting(which you should already know how to do) and then picking up 8 sts. again(which I already showed you how. And then try to disperse the sts. As evenly as you can. But if this helps, I've tried to explain it... Gusset and foot: so you knit 5, then you pick up 8 sts. (I don't think you have to knit them like I did in the video, just picking them up is fine), place a marker, then you're going to knit the next 10 stitches that are already in your needle, place a marker...then you pick up 8 sts. That's on the opposite side of the other 8 sts. Place a marker and you are back to the first 5 stitches. Now, because you have markers and you don't want them to fall off, I would put your 8 sts. You picked up, place marker, then 1 of your 10 sts. at the end of that needle(so the marker doesn't fall off) does that make sense?

[@4evrHisBaby]

iKNITS right after putting all the markers on is where I get lost. With the instructions and your video I have no clue what's next 😥

[@kellieweible3957]

It would’ve been easier if you showed us the heel all the way through for some of us beginners, please!?! I didn’t understand 17:00 to 18:00, very confusing. Other than that, very good!

[@dawnsnow5108]

Can you do a video on how to do the magic loop and start this pattern?

[@margaux11sky]

I really had a hard time hearing you and it was very confusing knowing which way to lay the needles once the yarn is transferred. I've only ever knitted scarves and blankets so I'm presuming this video is more for advanced knitters, but it sure would have helped had you told which way the needles lay. My yarn from which to knit ended up at the back of the needle, not the front, when transferring to the other needle. It is a good video but I think I must need a video far easier and more explanatory. : ) Do you know of one?

[@iKNITS]

Make sure to follow along with the written pattern as this video is a help mate to understand the written pattern better.

[@jkat3911]

I am so happy I finally found a tutorial knitting in a triangle. That's how my grandma taught me, but so far I haven't been able to make the sock perfect at the heel so I really appreciate your tutorial to see what I am doing wrong. What material is your yarn I like that is chunky

[@jolinedujardyn7317]

for witch shoe size are these socks? I'm european and I don't know if US size 13 will fit or not. I've european size 37 for shoes. These socks just look amazing and I really want to try to knit them

[@iKNITS]

Hey so it's all sizes. You start from the top and work your way to the toe of the sock. Depending on how big your foot is, you knit a little more or a little less rows at the very end. Make sure to follow along with the written pattern as this video is a help mate to understand the written pattern better.

hi ikniters! i am a fairly new knitter. i'm hoping someone can help me. i am really lost on the Gusset and foot. after pick up and k 8 sts for heel gusset, place plastic marker, k across 10 sts for instep, place plastic marker, pick up and k 8 sts for heel turning, place plastic. do i put the 8 on a new tool, and if so how do the markers stay on? Or am i still to use only the two tools?

[@Emily-lh1ml]

I'm sorry to be such a pain lol. When you're done adding the eight stitches on both sides and you have 31 stitches, did you divide the stitches between three needles like in the beginning?

[@iKNITS]

yes, and you're not a pain! :)

[@Emily-lh1ml]

***** Haha thank you! How did you divide the stitches between the needles?

[@iKNITS]

I just moved them to the other needle...is that your question?

[@Emily-lh1ml]

I should have clarified better. I meant how many stitches did you put on each needle?

[@iKNITS]

I don't remember, just divided them evenly.

[@karinedeschamps3343]

Question! After rib knitting the cuff at the top for 8 rounds, it says to go to a stockinette stitch, but it says to knit every row. Why is it called a stockinette stitch then? I thought a stockinette stitch was k 1 row, p 1 row. Isn't knit every row just garter stitching? I'm curious as to why the pattern calls for a stockinette stitch when its just knitting each row without alternating to purl.

[@iKNITS]

Karine Deschamps because it is different when you are knitting in the round, you are working on just the right side of the work so to make the stockinette stitch, you just knit. To make the stockinette stitch while knitting flat, you have to purl on the wrong side to get the stockinette stitch on the right side. Does that make sense?

[@karinedeschamps3343]

iKNITS oh I see thanks so much!

[@kikitheebarbarian3684]

So when you're decreasing, you knit 4 full rounds in stockinette and then do the decrease round for a total of 5 rounds?

[@sjn9195]

+Kirsten Albino thats what i'm wondering too

[@iKNITS]

You decrease every 4th round so stockinette for 3 rounds, decrease round 4.

your directions at the end left me very confused, please post the directions from the pattern you were using. I love the picture of the finished sock and would love to make this item

[@iKNITS]

Hey, I am sorry, it is kind of confusing because that's where you have to measure your foot to see how long you have to knit depending on your foot size. I have the link to the written pattern under the video in the description bar. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

[@traceyswift8366]

Do you need to use chunky yarn or can a dk yarn be used for socks? I would like to try my hand a this video.

[@iKNITS]

For this video, it calls for chunky yarn. There are lots of cute sock patterns with dk weight yarn though!

This is my first time attempting to knit socks so this question might be stupid. When I'm knitting two together and the second stitch is behind the stitch marker, what I'm doing is taking the stitch marker off the needle, knitting the stitches together and then putting the marker back on. Is this wrong?

[@iKNITS]

That sounds perfect!

[@Emily-lh1ml]

***** Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@mikomikeal1817]

great job!!!

[@shortyronah]

I want to use 2 needless instead of 3 to knit socks can u advice please thanks

[@iKNITS]

Ronah Moore you'll have to use the magic loop method.

[@MsDanielle1515]

Can you send me the magic loop method for this pattern??

[@briannaa108]

I really want to knit these is it going to matter I have a size 6 foot?

[@iKNITS]

No it doesn't, if you follow along with the written pattern, it tells you towards the end to measure where you need to stop for it to fit your foot. So it fits any size! How great it that?!
