Addi Sock With Shaped Heel / Long Tail Cast On Gives Looser Cuff ~ Addi, Sentro, Circular Knitting

[@jeannebeverly1244]

For anyone who is interested, I wear a size 8 shoe and I did 35 rows after the ribbing and then after that, I did 40 rows from the heel to the toe. It comes about mid-calf.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Thank you!

Would this fit a size 8.5 shoe or is it a tight fit?

Omg thank you so much for this video. I just got my 1st Sentros for Christmas. A 22 needle and a 48 needle. 1st thing I made was 2 tube socks but wanted to make socks with heels. I found this video and I'm so excited.

This is the best sock video I’ve found. You really take your time to clearly show what should be happening on the machine to watch for errors. It’s also the clearest version of fixing dropped stitches I’ve found. The others move too fast to see all the moves.

[@LTM]

Just finished my first sock on the machine (I have hand knitted 3 pair). I cranked 36 rows after the heel and it's not quite long enough for my 7 - 7 and a half size foot. Another 1 or 2 rows would do it i think. I'm using a dk acrylic yarn. Thanks for the tutorial Shelley ❤ (Edited to change 'have have knitted 3 pair' to read correctly as 'have hand knitted 3 pair')

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Don’t take it apart. Attach it back into your machine and add as many rows as you want. Look for my video on how to attach your work back onto the machine. Put a guide row in with a contrasting colour to help you find the row of stitches to add onto the needles.

[@LTM]

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd already closed it up and had sewn the toe closed really well, so a bit too tricky to undo that to put it back on the machine. I agree that lifelines are very useful for that kind of thing. The socks I hand knit use german short rows for both the heel and the toe and you've got me wondering whether there's a way to do the toe on the machine using the gsr technique you demonstrate in this video. Difference is they start at the toe with a provisional cast on, so I'm not sure how to replicate that on the machine; might have to experiment a bit. Thanks again for the tutorial and excellent instructions.

[@LTM]

Never mind, just found Sylvie's tutorial on which you've mentioned yours is based/inspired by.

[@cindysebastiani998]

Thank you for doing these. I so want to make them. I can’t use my machines right now but after thanksgiving I will have time. I truly want to make a sweater that fits but have no idea how big. I see a lot on the internet but sadly I’m a larger lady, but short and the ones I see would never fit. If I make it so it fits me, the shoulders will be to my elbows. Not sure how to do gauge as I’m not much of a hand knitter. Ideas welcome.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I’m not a sweater expert. So Sorry.

[@Lynn-kh6ls]

This is the most amazingly easy video I've seen on making socks with a heel and I actually did it while I watched you! The only problem I have (I think) is that my Sentro made such terrible noises that I was afraid it was breaking so had to stop on my second go. I used thicker yarn the second time around, but even the first time, with thin yarn, it made me wonder if the gears were shearing off inside! Do you know if it's safe for me to continue? I did notice that your Addi made horrible noises as well, but I suspect it may be a bit more robust than my little Sentro! Thank you SO much for this video though - it was brilliant being able to see EVERYTHING you did AS you did it! Bravo!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@Lynn-kh6ls oh, you are so welcome! Maybe use a bit less tension. If your gears are grinding as much as it sounds like they were then you could break the gears on the inside ring. You don’t want that. Make sure it is in circular mode as well.

[@k3of5ks]

Good morning. You are a wonderful teacher. Have you tried a DK or Sport weight yarn on this pattern?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I have not. Sport would likely have to be double in the machine. Dk might be nice. I should try it! If you do, let me know how it works for you.

[@annamae859]

Grapes tutorial thanks but just wanted to know when you're knitting the hill do you switch to panel mode or do you continue in tube mode.? I'm going to make a practice s watch just for the heel to start off but will need to adapt it for 32 needle machine because I don't like how the sock is so stretched out when made on 22 needles. I have tiny feet but quite chunky calfs. So far I have tried just knitting the calf on the machine and knitting the rib heel and foot by hand, or knitting a tube sock on the machine and opening sone stitches to hand knit a heel. I always shape the toe by hand though and will continue to do that.

Hi Shelley, Thank you for the thorough teaching in this great sock video! If we casted off with waste yarn….would it work to do the Kitchener closure for the toes?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

You would have a square toe but that’s a great idea. I should try that. 💕💕💕

[@juliaboose4414]

Hi Shelley, I am just making these, and have a ?? on the heel part. On the right hand side of the black needle, you do a clockwise turn, but on the left hand side, although you said it is a clockwise turn, I am thinking it is anti clockwise? Can you confirm please? (15:48 on the video)

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I actually give it a clockwise turn on both sides. Honestly….I don’t think it matters. You just need the loop. 😊

[@dominikapaprzycka9600]

The whole sock is knitted on the tube program, or do i have to change to a panel program at the heel?

[@victoriamclaughlin6907]

I love your videos. I keep dropping my stitches when I go back and forth 🤨 any suggestions

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Try a bit tighter tension. Make sure you watch as ever needle passes the yarn guide and make sure the loop is down over the two red teeth before the needle picks up the new yarn.

[@EdisCes]

Is it possibile to somehow reduce number of stitches at the end of work to not have such big gather in toe section? I know how to do it on circular needles, but I have no idea how to make that on machine. Btw. Great work with the heel - it's almost exactly as in circular neeedles but waaay faster 😍

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Hi there! I think it would be possible for sure. I haven’t done it though. You could also not pull it so tight at the toe and then seam it across. (Hope that makes sense).

[@KnitsHooksandNeedle]

So I made a sock for my son. He has huge feet for a teen of age 13. Now the heel did not want to work with his feet. It was fine for me though since it was a size 13 sock for a 13 year old teen, it was big on me. I'm not sure what foot size on males this would be good for. Lol but I think since women have more slender feet that possibly if you dont have a thick foot around the heel area like they have you measure when hand knitting, that this might be a big tough for some males. I'll measure my sons foot in that area later and edit this comment and then measure mine as well. Other than that it took me two times to manage the ribbing. I went back 11 instead of 12 bc I kept flubbing it somehow. Lol

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I agree… the 22 needle is best for a female size foot.

[@KnitsHooksandNeedle]

​​@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochetI like them though. Nice to have on and if I got to walk outside, I'll just put on my regular slippers over these bc the sock doesn't make it odd.
