Sorry about the multiple uploads of this video - I had to make sure the HD worked!

[@susanahrent6385]

I cannot find the download for the pattern. I don’t see it listed. Could you provide me with a link please?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

@@susanahrent6385 Hi! The link can be found on my website www.knittinghousesquare.com/feet/boot-socks Just below where there is a KZbin button there is a 'PDF Pattern' button.

[@beyondslwadams4225]

Thank you for showing this magic loop boot sock!! ❤❤❤ I've been wanting to make my son a pair of boot socks but all socks are made with thin (typical) sock yarn. I'll be using a wool nylon blend. Cotton, as sturdy as it is, to me seems not a good hiking/climbing snow capped mountains type material. Thank you again! Sock on!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@patriciachianelli7507]

Watched it again today. All my great grandchildren are getting these socks next Christmas. Warm and look so nice. I better get cracking🙂

[@anandersonnovel]

I watch this tutorial everyday….You teach us like we are intelligent- no baby talk! I love that because my mind is immediately engaged and I totally Get it 🧦🧦

[@wendykelcey1246]

I love these! Thank you and thanks for the pattern! Great for Christmas gifts!! 👍

[@thethriftyfawn]

EPIIIIIIIC!!! Thank you Madeline! Just subscribed 🙂 I NEED new socks, and have never knit or crocheted any before, but am willing to learn! I love how these are thick and hiking style too! Fawn 😊

[@Giantkiller130-t]

Hi! I’m really glad this inspired you to learn how to knit! I would probably start with something a little more simple, like a blanket or a scarf! But if you do try this, good luck!

[@thethriftyfawn]

@@Giantkiller130-t I know how to knit, I've just never knit socks before 🙂

[@karlamartin5222]

I just finished my first sock using Lion Brands fishermans wool. It turned out perfect. Thank you so much for your great video and clear instructions.

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@beverlyhess611]

I always enjoy your videos, but I’m loving the look of these boot socks! They really make the boot socks look not only cozy and warm, but fun as well!

[@naturebound1064]

Hi Madeline, I have been referring back to this fantastic video each time I make these socks. So helpful and well explained! Thank you😊

[@himacihak1111]

Thanks a lot for the video and pattern, for the first time iam able to make socks for my husband with correct size. Thanks a lot

[@brendanaylor2599]

Your patterns are gorgeous and your videos are very clear and easy to understand.

[@samcraftstoo7616]

I've just knitted a pair of these socks using hand spun alpaca fibre and I'm so pleased with how they turned out, I've tried several different patterns and they didn't look alright. But your one looks great, so it's socks for Christmas. I was thinking for boots to help keep feet warm in winter. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. XOXOX 🥰❤️💖💝👍

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yayyy! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@vaivaignataviciute5026]

Hello! I adore this tutorial and your pattern! These were my very first socks I did as a beginner. Love how it turned out. Takes some practice to make it work, but with such clear instruction you hardly get lost ! Thank you again and I am looking forward trying your new patterns :)

[@caseylewis9444]

I watched a few videos and didn't understand at all. One run through yours and I made a sock!! Thank you so much.

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yayy! So glad you enjoyed it! I typically stop about 2" short of my foot length when I try it on, because I typically want the sock to be a bit snug and a little too short when I first put them on. Hand knit socks tend to stretch quite a bit when you begin wearing them, so I like to knit mine so they are tight to begin with and then stretch to be the perfect size.

[@joanndeming3467]

Very nice work. I just learned a new way to knit top down socks. Thank you. 🥰

[@annee4193]

I like how you instruct and explain during your video. I'm now subscribed and looking forward to knitting your boot socks pattern. Thank you from the other side, Australia 🧶

[@TheXxruffxx]

What a lovely work! I live in Brazil and I never see a knit socks like this in here. Hope one day I can make and wear one pair of this socks!

[@lifesajourney394]

Thank you so much for sharing and teaching step by step 😃

[@jkat3911]

I love the patterns

[@et1016]

Excellent video!!

[@hlneals]

Fabulous tutorial! Thank you!!!

[@ruthier2699]

I just found your channel and subscribed! Your teaching style is easy for me to understand! The largest part of the foot, the ball, is 8.5", should I go with the smaller or larger size of this pattern? Thanks again!!!

[@theastewart6721]

Can you use 1 strand of worsted weight instead?

[@jeannedelaforet6441]

I'm still working on my (2aat) socks. I had to stop and order a longer needle. I was using 32" and it's just not long enough. So, while I'm waiting for my 40" to arrive, I'm viewing more of your videos! I also have a lot of DK weight yarn, so I think this is a great idea for boot socks. The color combination reminds of the sock monkeys! Remember those? lol

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

haha yes - I totally see the sock monkey color comparison! Glad you are enjoying the videos - the dk weight yarn would be perfect for boot socks!

[@namuuntengis1791]

Thank you.

[@crochetcorner3218]

I watch this until mine are finished. I have a question, can this pattern be used for regular socks. The stitch count mainly.

[@patriciachianelli7507]

Great video. Love the socks.

[@asokachandratillake3507]

Thank you very, very much. I wanted something like this (why do we these decreases etc.) for a long time. i can follow a pattern but not do one on my own until now. all the best for you.

[@polie74]

thank you

[@ellenstaley7219]

Brilliant tutorial thankyou

[@Shasta-V]

Hello, Norman, thank you very much for this tutorial! I have a question for you: why/how do you change your direction of knitting? For the cuff, you knit in the counter-clockwise direction, but for the leg, you are knitting clockwise. I appreciate your expertise!

[@winniealvares5843]

How to join two colors after finishing the toe part and want to continue with the foot with another color. Pl help.

[@sharib5922]

Beautiful yarn how did it hold up even with the reinforced nylon?

[@kawailee6377]

Hi, Thank you for the tutorial! I want to make these for my boyfriend, his feet size are EU 42/ US 8.5, how can I adapt this pattern for that? MANY THX!!

[@richiekelly1137]

Love this pattern, cant wait to try it out for myself before making them as gifts! I do have a question on the amount of yarn needed though - in the pattern, were the numbers you gave for one sock or for a pair?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi - I am so glad you like the pattern! The yarn numbers I gave are for a pair of socks - the amount of yarn will vary significantly based on the number of stitches you cast on and the length of sock you knit.

[@richiekelly1137]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Thank you so much! Once the yarns come in I'm going to play around to figure out the best # of stitches for my foot. Thanks again for the lovely pattern!

[@aleyna5601]

Thanks for video I have never seen that technique before. Can u do one video for men sock too? My bf wears 44 but I don't know how many stitch that needs

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

I am so glad you liked it! I will definitely add men's socks to my list of video suggestions!

[@masuganut2082]

So would this work if I used some worsted weight held alone? I don’t have any “man friendly” sock yarn but I want to make these for my husband and father for Christmas! Please and thank you

[@gabriellevaugeois8579]

Loved the video! I just have one question. Why do you use sock yarn and dk weight? Is it possible to make these with just one type of yarn?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! Great question - yes you could definitely make them using one type of yarn - you would want a heavier worsted weight - something that recommends around a US 9 knitting needle size. I used two strands held together because I wanted the added durability that comes from the nylon in sock/fingering weight (heavier weights typically don't have nylon) and I liked the look that the two contrasting colors held together has. Hope that helps to clarify!

[@gabriellevaugeois8579]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Thank you. I will see if I can do it or not

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

@@gabriellevaugeois8579 Sounds good! Let me know if you have any questions along the way!

[@rmeredithm]

Do you have a tutorial for how you split the stitches in half between the two needles and start the knitting? I’m like…. an ULTRA beginner. 😂

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! Unfortunately, I do not have one for that right now, only the quick overviews of how magic loop works at the beginnings of tutorials - I will definitely add it to the suggestion list for a future video though!

[@rmeredithm]

Ive watch a million videos since and figured it out! I also ordered some 9” HiyaHiya circular needles to avoid having to split them 😝 (I’ve learned a lot in a week on KZbin) 😂 Thank you for your response though! ❤️

[@natalyaroberts1998]

Are these socks comfortable for actual steel cap work boots.

[@lebe6863]

If you could explain the terminology it would help. I don't understand the back loop what you mean and dropping one and slip slip, pearl wise etc???

[@alicefucknrite]

Hi, enjoying this pattern. However, I am doing the largest size, can I ask when the decreasing starts it say begin with a knit 1 K2T, is this for every time we do row 1 of decreasing rounds or just for the very first row of decreasing? Thanks

[@rosemariezanfardino3769]

Does 1 strand DK and 1 strand FW yarn = worsted weight?

[@sallycunningham9608]

What wool do I use for these please

[@melissajenkins9960]

I’m assuming I can use a single strand of worsted weight? Instead of doubled DK?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yes! The equivalent would be worsted

[@lebe6863]

It's very difficult to follow . It speeds up at the important parts omg I ll never learn

[@lebe6863]

@Daniel Cloete thanks for the sympathy

[@lebe6863]

I would love to knit a pair of wool socks for a Male relative but I have no idea what to buy to do that. He said he loves good quality wool socks but then I see you were saying nylon makes them more durable. I am a total beginner i have never heard of a magic loop so I am intrigued. If you could advice me I d appreciate it?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! Great question - the reason socks often contain nylon is because it is a synthetic fiber that increases durability and elasticity of the natural wool fibers. This combination is common even among high quality commercially purchased socks - such as Ibex and SmartWool. Socks are typically hand knit out a very thin strand of yarn, called sock yarn or fingering weight yarn, where the yarn already has a blend of superwash wool and nylon. I chose to create this pattern using a thicker weight yarn not typically used for socks, so I had to create my own nylon/wool combination by holding the two strands of yarn together. I hope that helps to clarify!

[@lebe6863]

Why can't we see the cast on as I don't know how to do it? Or pearl 🤖

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! I often do not include cast-on instructions in my more advanced tutorials. Here is a link to a video where I show two cast on methods that would work well for this project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joSbg5SprNGbrKs

[@liliskh2664]

Help. I’m at 18:24 and I don’t understand which side you’re working on. When I do the knit/purl on the front of the sock, I don’t arrive at all where you are. I simply have all the stitches together On one needle, the second white part that need to be knitted (with the “V”) is at the far end, not reachable with the needles. I’ve been trying to find a way to reach that part but I keep coming back to the side that is already worked on before minute 18:24. Can somewhere help me? This is my first time knitting socks ever and was using regular needles until I switched to the same circular needles as in the video (but wrong size for my yarn, don’t have another one) since I’ve been blocked here. Will appreciate any help ! Suspended my work in the meantime.

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! It sounds like all of your stitches have ended up on one knitting needle, so you just need to re-divide your work for magic loop. To do this, slide all of your stitches over to the cord, then count the number of stitches you have on the top side of your work (20 stitches if you worked the same size shown in the video). At this location fold the stitches, and pull on the cord so that the stitches divide and you can slide the top stitches up to one knitting needle, and the heel stitches up to the other knitting needle. Now you should be all set to work magic loop again, and pick up that stitch from the inner corner. To prevent this in the future, make sure you are turning your work and resetting for magic loop before you knit across the front of the sock (Video Time 18:07) I hope that helps!

[@liliskh2664]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to help me! unfortunately, since I started knitting with straight needles, I was not getting the same result as you (my sock was being knitted flat). I tried watching other videos but I couldn't find a solution, so I decided to cast off where I left (made the upper part of the sock+ heel) and will try to knit the bottom/ toe part separately and sew them together.... not ideal I know but it was either that or undo all of this work! For my 2nd sock I'll use 4 double pointed needles (never tried yet). Do you have a tutorial with double pointed needles or this video can easily be applied to double pointed needles as well? Again, thank you for taking the time to write me a response, really appreciate the effort!
