Loom Knit Socks- Complete How-to

[@walterskinner527]

Really super easy to follow and the masking tape is a great idea, another thing I like about your video is you are not waving the loom all over the place and that has made it easy for me to follow and lastly the instructions at the bottom of the screen is a great help. Well done thank you.

[@MonikaKersten]

It's the best tutorial about how to make socks. My first sock looms - KB His&Her was delivered in the night of the New Year :) 1 December 2022 I celebrate by watching this tutorial, I had my very first few knitted rows of my first pair of socks on a sock loom. Thank you so much Isela. We both have now good socks.

[@janellekm]

You are a lifesaver, I was given a sock loom and no instructions. Now I can use the loom and make socks. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊

[@KBLooms]

That's great to hear!

[@DianaCollins-ru4du]

Great video! This has to be the best instruction video I've ever seen on any topic. The instructions are perfect!

[@suzannejones5992]

This pattern is ok if you have standard feet. I have a high in step (arch). So, after a long and very interesting search I have developed a pattern that fits my foot, it's worked entirely on this loom and is really easy. If you have the same problem I'll let you know what I've done.

[@lisaboles1834]

Yes, please share

[@suzannejones5992]

@@lisaboles1834 hi Lisa, what I did is really simple and I now have socks that fit really well. Knit the cuff and leg as normal until the heel shaping. Knit 5 rows 1 X 1 rib then divide for the heel. However use 70% of the stitches rather than 50%. On the orange loom this works out to be 39 stitches. On the purple loom it's 45 stitches. Work The heel as normal and then, when the short rows are finished, work another 5 rows 1 X 1 rib. Work rest of foot and toe as normal (use 50% of stitches for the toe). Voila! A better fitting sock, for high in step, that grips really well and does not slide down. Enjoy.

[@cece5942]

I love the video. I am a little confused as to what to do after I wrap and turn all of them for the toe and peg 1 and 28 are still wrapped. With the heel it says to go and and knit in the round for the foot. What do I do with the toe part as peg 1 and 22 still have 2 loops on

[@cece5942]

Peg 1 and 28 are still wrapped

[@linahan5422]

Not in the video they aren’t. I’m as confused as @cece5942 in the video when she’s taking the loops off the loom to put on the needles peg 1 and 28 have only 1 loop on them. So did she just knit another round….? Or did I miss something?

[@ur3749]

Very nice video, but one thing is not clear to me: How exactly do you measure the length of the foot while it‘s still hanging on the loom?

Hello.. I'm new to this craft and I was wondering if you could show me the pearl stitch a little slower. The other one is somple it seems, the pearl I'm not cathing on to as easily.

I've almost finished my first sock, but after finishing the toe part, I still have wraps on first peg and 33 (I use the 64 pegs loom). On the kitchener instructions there is no wraps. Should I make another round?

[@BarbaraC147]

Thank you so much for this vudro. I just got these looms and this video was the best and just what I needed. I am working on my first ever sock atm and getting ready to start the heel tomorrow. But there is just one thing in the pattern I am unclear on. When it comes time to make the toe part, it says to make it exactly as the heel. Do you knit the toe part on the same side as the heel or on the other side,? I have an idea but J wasn't sure. But so far I just love this pattern. And I'm very happy with how it's coming out. Thanks so much again

[@rocioconsiglieri137]

I hope they answer because I have the same exact question. My thought is that it has to be on both sides. What is your though?

[@BarbaraC147]

@@rocioconsiglieri137 I figured it out🙂 I've made 1 1/2 of these socks already ( 1 pair finished and almost finished the first of the second pair). Thd answer is that YES you knit the toe on the same side as the heel. And it works perfectly. I was confused when watching the video as I could see the knit pattern on the front of the sock so I thought it must have been knitted on the front. But no, you do in fact knit it on the backside (exactly the same as the heel) and it folds over to cover the front too. It's a very good pattern and makes really very nice socks. I've gotten lots of compliments on them.

[@rocioconsiglieri137]

@@BarbaraC147 Thank you so much! And if it’s not too much to ask. How long it took you to knit 1 pair. I am planning to knit one for my son for Christmas but I am worried I won’t finish on time.

[@BarbaraC147]

Also if there are any big footed people like me ..Even though I am a woman I had to use the "his" loom. Ir for men's socks... The "him"(purple) loom has 64 pegs, so 32 on each side. That means to make the heel, 11 ....10 ....11. And that works perfectly.

Can you please write the pattern for me please and tell how many rows i need to do for my socks for me

[@linahan5422]

Can anyone please tell me what To do after I complete the toe section. She says to do the exact same thing as u did with the heel. But if I do that I still have wraps on peg 1 and 28. In the video when she is removing the loops onto the hooks she has no wraps on peg 1 and 28. Am I doing something wrong? Or did she just knit another additional round after she completed the toe? This is my first time doing this and it’s taken me quite a while to get this far, after several restarts because a loop popped off somewhere and caused a gap down the side of the sock that I didn’t know how to fix. It was really frustrating. And now that I’ve made it to the end I don’t want to mess this sock up by something as silly as wraps still being on 2 pegs etcetera etcetera. Help please?

[@kathybrannon544]

This is a great video. I have watched other videos on KZbin and they are much faster paced so it’s hard to try to freeze it so you get a better view of the stitch. This one is perfectly paced for me. What is the weight of the yarn used and the gauge of the loom (distance between pegs)? I’d like to use a finer yarn and more closely knit than the one in the video. Thanks!

[@ToddCarnes]

You can always slow the video's playback speed down, if it's too fast for you.

[@kathybrannon544]

Thank you! I hardly ever use KZbin so that’s very helpful to know.

[@SurabhiIyengar]

Strategy: If you don't have stitch markers or ones that fit, try using crayons. I couldn't use the masking tape/sharpie technique (and pen ink wore off the masking tape) so I used a black crayon around the loom. You can erase the crayon markings or wash them too.

[@shylakrezanoski3661]

I’ve been trying to download the written pattern and have not been successful. How do I find it?

[@dianatonini]

Does anyone know how many rows (aprox) for the foot? I don’t find measuring very helpful I like more counting rows…

[@girlygamer420]

How many row you need depends on your gauge. Example: measure how many stitches and rows you have in a one inch square of a swatch knitted in the yarn you want to use. Ex: 8 stitches and 16 rows. Measure your foot toe to heel. Subtracting 1 1/2 inch for heel and toe, that's 3 inches total that you subtract from your foot measurements. Ex: 9.5 in - 3in =6.5in Now multiply your total by the number of rows in your gauge measurement. Ex: 6.5×16=104 rows. I hope this helps you

Probably a stupid question, but I must know before I buy one of these: Why is a sock loom oval? Would I get better results than if it were a round loom?

The sock will come out exactly the same if using a oval loom or round loom. The oval makes counting the pegs easier for the heel.

There's no difference.

I followed instructions but it was a fail for me. Fingerling yarn had no stretch so that was my first issue. The wrap and turn had me confused so I went very slow at that part, but then as you went along, you sped up the video which is where I started messing up with the wrap and turn! I would go back to find the slow motion and would get totally lost finding where I left off. Also, I was unsure of how many rows to to get the correct length. Maybe it was just me, but this tutorial did not work for me 😞The heel was not forming because I was not doing it right

Yes and no. Depends on the knitters mobility and skill. In medieval times, there were laws restricting peg knitters from working in some cities because peg knitters were more productive and took business away from pointy stick knitters who couldn't keep up.
