My First Toe Up Crochet Socks with Rohn Strong 1 of 3

[@mymthegreyful]

Square TOE !! xcuze... i'm so excited ; i've been crocheting since 1973 and have never made sock weight crochet socks. Let's get goin' ! Bonus ; free is amazing.

[@MarlyBird]

So happy you’re happy. If you love crocheting socks, you would love the Classic and Colorful Crochet Socks Course. marlybird.com/classic-and-colorful-crochet-sock-workshop/

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I started crocheting in the 70s, but I was a little girl, not even 10 years old yet. I learned from my grandmother (Granny). I'm now 56 and teach crochet.

[@christineberl4173]

One of the rare crochet patterns that actually uses a gusset which makes it a very classy sock and on the level of a Classic knitter sock thank you

[@franci9936]

I believe we are all obsessed just like you. And yes this is a very good obsession.

[@rayneydaze]

This was so incredibly healing and pleasant to watch. Thank you for this emotional health boost!!!

[@cspann2872]

My wife sent me this link and I had to subscribe, She's the knitter and I dabble but socks are a very cool thing to make. I knitted a pair years ago and crocheted one sock out of my handspun (didn't turn out so good) Thanks for the incentive to get back into fibercraft.

[@glazedtalons]

Amazing with the square toe! I learned to crochet your Self-striping Toe Up Socks on Annie's Creative Studio. You're the best sock crochet teacher, Rohn! 👍👍👍

[@KP-nx8lo]

Omg I’ve been looking for crochet sock tutorials! Thank you for this!

[@elizabethwest9729]

I have made super thick socks to use for winter house shoes for my family. This looks easy enough to try.

[@ChristinesCraftTable]

Great sock tutorial! Looking forward to the next two parts. This is only my second pair of socks ever, but so far, having fun. Thanks!

[@cindylillard2938]

Thanks Rhon for doing this.... I'm getting started now...

[@1aliveandwell]

Since most my toes ~ almost straight across, and when knit, start with a rectangle, will try that with this crochet toe up sock. TY for your instructions and vid!! Stay well

[@marysemathieu3389]

I wish there was a video on how to mesure properly your foot. Or at least, pictures showing it. It would help understanding the explanation on your blog. Except that, the video was easy to understand.

[@linedanzer4302]

Recently started crocheting socks. Have shored up my sock yarn inventory and am ready to go on this pattern! Thanks you!!!

[@debraellensohn8788]

After watching this video it looks like I’ll have to knit a pair and crochet a pair (or 2-3😜). Thanks Rohan Strong!

[@RohnStrong]

Awesome!

[@rumpzafamily]

Thank you Rohn! Great video. This is my first sock ever! (I've crocheted for a long time though)

[@RohnStrong]

YAY!!!

[@bea122765]

Good evening from Germany! Thanks for the awesome video, Rohan. I've knitted socks before, but have never tried to crochet them. This is going to change now. You explain everything so clear, I just have to try it!

[@ella9873]

This was so so helpful Rohn! My first pair of crochet socks didn't work out so well, but hearing you explain this pattern and giving us tips and tricks gave me the courage to try again :) Thank you!

[@youzerr5041]

Who are you and where did you come from because you’re an ANGEL! I love this tutorial playlist!

[@ammbamTYmaam]

Very informative and fun video!! Tysm!

[@betty2226]

You make this look very easy. I have been wanting to make socks. I think I may have to try these out.

[@pennyoubre338]

Thank you for this tutorial. I love this sock

[@donnaosgood9959]

Good morning from Texas. I've never tried a ”real" sock pattern. I've only made adult & children's booties. I'm gonna give it a whirl!

[@yvettesaafir3697]

Hi Marly did you post part 2 and 3 of this tutorial I haven't seen it any where

[@joshualavigne3928]

I can’t get over how cute Rohn is omg 🥰🤤

[@chelinfusco6403]

Hi Rohn! I made the gauge swatch and I got the 24 sts per 4", but not the 20 rows. I came a half inch short. If I go a hook larger, would that alter the # of stitches per 4"? I always have this problem and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I want to get this gauge right. Thanks.

[@jeant763]

Hi Rohn, is it possible to zoom in closer, can hardly see the stitches

[@lily.detwiller]

Jean T, I agree I was straining my eyes...

[@lil.pige0n]

You can zoom in on the app :)

[@kristinap3759]

I bought the pdf pattern. I want to make socks for my husband, but he really likes very thick wool socks. Can I make this pattern with a worsted weight wool yarn like you've done in the video for demonstration? Sock yarn is just way too thin. Would I use a 5mm like in the video? Any directions for modification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@cherylosborn8886]

you explain everything so well, thank you 24:00

[@yvettelewis9325]

Just discovered this sock pattern - LOVE IT!! Have tried on a practice piece of yarn first. Coming along very nicely. One question, when we begin the spiral rounds, are we chaining 1 first before we do the first esc? That's what it says in the pattern but it doesn't look like that's what was done in the video. Let me know. Thanks!!

[@motherhemcreation]

I used to work teaching crafts(sewing, crochet, historical crafts etc etc etc) and most of my students were reccomended by mental health canada so that was always a huge thing i touted. be kinds to yourself, Did you have fun making it? Then thats all that matters. and also learning one step at a a time.

[@WillowFrancais]

Does anyone know where the bit on how to measure the foot is? It’s not in the video, or in his book. Just a bit confused.

[@karlakrochet]

I may use bigger yarn and make house socks slippers

[@KimMesser514]

Ok, how do I incorporate my FFFF OR H WIDTH FOOT, in a woman's size 8. I like them over the ankle where they stop needs to be slightly larger for an average ankle size. ???🙏💕

[@ariellenathanson1640]

So excited!

[@annieclare6449]

Good morning from CT! Excited to give this pattern a try

[@scrimshawrose3236]

could someone put a link to the pattern please?

[@ameliaultis3557]

Can someone guide me on which gauge directions to follow? I’ve found 3 for these crochet socks and I’ve done multiple gauge swatches and the width works out but not the height. I’ve used several hook sizes as well

[@gregoryambres1897]

Thanks, bud. 🏆

[@byteangelxi9178]

I've downloaded the first pattern now I just have to get the yarn and I'll be right there with you on these! They are just the kind of portable project I'm looking for to work on in the truck when I don't have to drive 😜

[@kshaorr]

Where is the pattern?

[@ecouturehandmades5166]

What do you do with occasionally fat (swollen) ankles? This extends into the feet sometimes. I like the height of these (won't cut into the ankle...?)

[@RohnStrong]

I would make a size up to wear on those days!

[@dorothypoole8908]

Looks like a classy sock., but I can't find the pattern. Got some Kroy yarn, but can't find 2.5 hook. Using 3.25 - is that ok?

[@nathaliebeaudry5058]

I discovered an error in the pattern in part 1 of round 7 to 8, I finished with 40 in row 7 + aug. of 4 for row 8 = 44 and not 48 !! And subsequently the indications for my gusset are erroneous ....

[@marymorris6588]

How do I buy a pattern from you?

[@tracyjoubert6324]

I am confused about the guage swatch, is it suppsed to be a tube that is 4 inches tall? How exactly do I count the 6 stitches in the inch?

[@1aliveandwell]

Would it work to have a rectangle for the starting the toe box as my first 4 toes are within half inch length of each other (I always start knitting toe up socks with a wider area to feel more comfy). thanks for the tutorial.

[@Avdm1808]

Please advise: I feel defeated before I even started 🤔. My problem is that I have very wide and square feet and that the start of the toe just about fits my big toe. Also, due to a leg injury I struggle with a swollen left ankel. How do I adjust for this? In my case, working left and right the same doesn't really work. Thanks in advance.

[@gracecotton9819]

I have just come across this video, and sorry to see that you didn't get a reply to your query. Did you manage to work something out?

[@marymorris6588]

How can I buy a pattern from you. I don’t send for one on line I would do it by sending you a check.

I CAN NOT FIND THE WRITTEN PATTERN PLEASE HELP!!!

[@cynjaekel783]

I’m trying to find the pattern to follow along to know how many rows I need for the toe and anything else. When I click the link it takes me to the sight, but the pattern is not there. When I try ravelry nothing loads correctly. Can anyone help please?

[@Cuisinenomade1]

I do not understand how to gauge and size my work :( I get that for 4" there must be 24 stiches and 20 rows but how that translates into a working measurement? Let's say my foot size is 10" with how many chains do I have to start? Thanks!

[@taxiridefun]

The free written pattern is on marlys in 3 parts .

[@ReltubTheWiz]

I never manage to get two sox the same!🙃

[@susanmoran5660]

Me to .I been trying for a year still can't get it. Help.

[@Cuisinenomade1]

So if my size is 10 do I start with ten chains?

[@eileenwiegand6938]

My foot circumference measures 8.5”, after round 6 do i go to round 10 for a 9” circumference or do I also do rounds 7,8 & 9 also. The pattern is confusing me. Please help

Love u RON LONG TIME SUB .

[@kevalynig3542]

how do i gauge in the round??????? :(((((((

[@manondesrochers5729]

I love the crochet pattern but I am stuck. How do I read the pattern following size 6 in regard to the increase.

[@MsOdessa88]

Hello) I would like to thank you.Thank you so very much for this very detailed and extremely helpfull masterclass. Only with you I could finally crochet socks that fit me! Thank you Thank you Thank you. If I may, I would like to ask a question. I did everything with you and by the written pattern. But could you please explaine how you get the number that you get for those very first toe stitches. I mean how do you get 5, 6, 7 stitches? Do you measure the toe? I understand that it might sound strange but still. Some start with ten. Why not start with the chain number that would just cover all toes at once... Just asking because I really dont get this part. Also you did explaine for people who have bigger calfs. But there are some like me. I have a really narrow ankle andasize10 foot. How do you make your sock still be tight arond the ankle? I Thank you again very very much. Thank you for your wonderful work)

[@vanessacallmev2524]

Too hard. Can’t get passed row 5. Nothing matches up 😭

[@cypressmoon5090]

Awesome!

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

Do crochet socks need to be blocked?

[@CraigsOverijse]

Hi Marly and Rohn I believe there is an error in the printed pattern I brought from Raverly. I followed the pattern exactly and it jumps st number in 6 inches size pattern between finish of the toes and the first round in the foot spiral, the final toe increases round 7 for six inches says I should have 44st which I do, but then the first foot spiral round it says I should esc into all st and have 48? Which is correct you say st count is vital bit to ensure proper fit I have the wrong number of stitches from following the pattern so I’m going to presume the pattern is right for the foot spiral not the toe and do one more row, but it’s very confusing indeed! Am I correct?

[@MarlyBird]

Let me have the Tech Editor look at this. I will get back to you.

[@CraigsOverijse]

@@MarlyBird thank you for prompt reply maybe I’m misreading it but I don’t think I am. Will continue with 48 for moment as I think better a slightly larger sock in case it shrinks in the wash but would appreciate it if I know for the future

[@MarlyBird]

From my TE: "What size are you making? The 6 inch size ends with 36 sts at the end of 6 rows, the foot starts with 36sts. There is not a foot size that ends with 44sts. The Foot and Toe start/end with the same number of stitches. Round 1: Ch 1, place marker in first st to mark beginning of round, esc in each esc around. (36, 40, 48, 52, 60, 64 esc)"

[@CraigsOverijse]

@@MarlyBird apologies two thing one I realised now that I have been reading the third set of instructions and should be the second plus second I realised that because the figures disappear for the others (5 inch 6 inch) as you move to foot so the placement of the figure to have read is moving with in the brackets so it’s not always in the third place I need to use and that is why I was quite confused. Will now be making for a friend with larger feet because too wide for me with 48 st which is fine just need to make them longer is all will estimate her foot size as I know roughly her foot size from the shoe size she takes. Thanks for getting back to me it made me really study again and realise why I was misreading it. In my defence I’m dyslexic and it really didn’t make sense when I was working it even though I watched Rohn’s video’s but I think I have sussed it out now.

[@dezaraycaraballorn8257]

Great tips. Wish I could wear socks. This has encouraged me to find someone who would like a pair!! One issue I have is with one of the commercials that played around the 20 minute mark in the video. This happened on another channel I watched also. A commercial started & became a 40 minute video right at the end of Rohn's presentation. I've been trying to let the commercials run since I learned it increases your revenue. However this is no place fo a commercial turned infomercial. I don't know if you have any influence with you tube to get this eliminated, but it'd be appreciated. It was a commercial about dogs as I recall.

Clearly people have been trying for months to get the free pattern which they can't as there is no longer a working link. This video shouldn't be available if you aren't going to provide the free pattern because without a pattern for the correct sizing this video tutorial is utterly useless.
