I want to add a huge "thank you" for your clear and precise instructions on toe-up socks. I so appreciate your videos.

[@heyBrownBerry]

You are so welcome! Happy to help ;)

[@JudithDursley]

Think I’ve watched at least a dozen tutorials, and still didn’t get it. Yours will be my last, because it’s amazing, thank you. Now I get it 🎉

[@DonaRusu]

Wonderful instruction! Beautifully paced, and I appreciate that you used larger needles and yarn for a clear view. Great teacher. Thank you

[@Janet-ov7zx]

I just rewatched your tutorial, as I'm getting ready to cast on a new pair of socks. I originally learned and learned to love the Turkish cast on from watching this video. Once again, I appreciate the clarity of the video and the instructions, the pacing of your making the stitches, and the encouragement you give we viewers. One thing you do that I wish all tutorials contained is showing what the KFB and YO increases look like on the needles. Doing that gives a first lesson in teaching how to read your knitting. I'm off to get my yarn and needles! (harping)Janet.

[@reneesmith3033]

I absolutely love your teaching style. Taking the time to show what the stitches look like in different situations;( increasing, looseness in stitches) is so helpful. I learned knitting with my Mom, and oops, but there wasn't any instruction as to how each stitch should look . It makes it so much easier to pick up and put down, knowing where you ended. Thank you.

[@iesika7387]

Thank you for this! Super clear step by step instructions at just the right pace. You have a lovely, calming voice and the measured cadence you’re using is perfect for teaching something like this with lots of steps.

[@ladycrafts1885]

Your tutorial makes trying the Turkish cast on so easy. Your instructions and explanations are so clear. Thank you. This tutorial gives me confidence to try knitting more toe up socks.

[@carolbergson1570]

This is the first tutorial of yours I have watched. I'm a long time knitter who has made jillions of socks, almost all toe up, two at a time. Can't wait to try this cast on for the next pair! BTW, you are an excellent teacher (from one to another.)

[@vee35233]

Thank you for your very detailed instructions - you really made the Turkish cast on a breeze!

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know it was helpful

[@emmialle]

Your instructions are so clear, I love the cadence of your voice instructions, you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you for sharing this information

[@heyBrownBerry]

Thank you so much for this feedback. Glad I can offer this help.

[@omaam1005]

Hi Sis. Yes, I found the Turkish cast on to be easy. I discovered it a few years ago. Your instruction to me, was clear and slow enough to get the idea of the cast on. Thank you for sharing. Jesus loves you and yours.

[@sandybrown1439]

Thank you. You are a really good teacher. So many tutorials are much too fast. Yours are just right.

[@suzanneseely7167]

Thank you for this very clear explanation. I feel much more confident after watching it.

[@heyBrownBerry]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-dc3fr5mm8w]

This was the clearest video I have seen yet for knitting

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wow, thanks for that!

[@fherberichs7131]

[@heyBrownBerry]

Thank you! Happy knitting!

[@judithwilliams5773]

You are an excellent teacher.

[@lynnelovejoy9020]

I LOVE! this tutorial. I have watched all of the toe up/Turkish tutorials and this is by far the best. It is clearly described, easy to see, and most of all, stress free!!! When I watch this I relax, all the others just make me tense. I also love both of the increase methods you show, I have used much more complicated ones in the past, and look forward to doing something different and easier. I've ordered your Pebbles & Pathways sock pattern and it is the next thing to go onto my needles. Thank you so much for your professional and gentle instruction. : )

[@laurief.9638]

Very, very clear. You are great at explaining.

[@susieinthecountry4434]

Thanks for sharing your sock knitting method. Your instructions are very clear and understandable♥also love your needles! and no annoying music, perfection!

[@joycestewart4893]

You are such a good teacher! Thank you.

[@heyBrownBerry]

That's lovely, thank you, Joyce.

[@vallang4832]

Your a great teacher.

[@ericalockney5623]

This is a really great tutorial thank you! I watched a couple but yours is the clearest for me-good speed/pace, I can see everything and I understand thank you!

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're very welcome!

[@maryanne1932]

So clear and well done. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@jackiejlw5493]

Fabulously detailed and easy to follow! I laughed out loud at the no-no finger for closing up the YO! 😂 Thank you!

[@SissyMoss1952]

Thank you so much for this !!! I'm just learning to knit socks n you have answered all my questions...you have a way of explaining that anyone can understand exactly how to do it....thanks again 💜💜💜

[@bookwyrms.2658]

*chef kiss* Possibly the clearest video on the Turkish (taught to me years ago as the toe flap start). Pointing out the back loop knit to avoid eyelets is something rarely passed along as well. 👍

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wow, thanks for saying so....

[@debrakemp5798]

Thank you I have been knitting sock DP needle for years. You have calming voice and ease explaining the cause and effect. I am going to purchase the pattern. I been working Turkish cast on 30 minutes. Now it makes sense no problems now.

[@leilani2424]

I’ve dona a sock only once but you directions makes it look easier. I’m excited to try this.

[@lesleyleake7391]

I cannot wait to do this cast on.I have always knit cuff down and I want to knit toe up too.Thank you for such a good video😊

[@kathleen5025]

Just watched your tutorial. It was so good! I’m new to toe up socks and learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@heyBrownBerry]

You are so welcome!

[@heatherwilson8784]

Thank you for this tutorial. I would love to give toe up socks a go.

[@heyBrownBerry]

You can do it, Heather!

[@Knithappenswithpam]

This tutorial was very helpful and easy to comprehend. I’ve only knit cuff down. I’m now excited to try it. Thank you.

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wonderful!

[@dorym8045]

First off, your voice is lovely and I always appreciate good enunciation. I have watched literally hundreds of knitting videos over the last year working on relearning how to knit and expand my abilities. This video is one of the best in video knitting technique as well as the best Turkish cast on explanation. 👍

[@gaylecmiel8221]

Dear Brown Berry….you are a fabulous teacher! I’ve wanted to try a toe up pattern for a long time…but I was afraid! Now I’m excited to try it! Also never used the magic loop method…but I think I can now after watching your tutorial. Thank you so much….I’m now going directly to Raverly to purchase your toe up sock pattern….thank you again. Gayle in Minnesota

[@heyBrownBerry]

Thank you so much, Gayle!

[@wendybradley8420]

Thank you so much First time watching your podcast. Your tutorial is awesome. I will be checking out all your podcast. My goal in 2023 is to learn toe up socks

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're so welcome, Wendy! I hope toe up sock knitting feels like a good fit for you!

[@jeffbox4377]

I really like your style of instruction, thank you

[@theresabrownlee3426]

Thank you! This is the best tutorial I've watched on this cast on method so far! I really appreciate that you mentioned you need to hold on to your stitches when dropping the slip stitch. Other tutorials didn't mention this and I learned the hard way. Oh well!

[@amsewcrafty]

Thank you for the toe up socks knitting tutorial. I am sure to give it a try since I have not knit toe up socks before. Great instructions 👍🏽👍🏽.

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're so welcome!

[@hannahdelion447]

I think this is the best Turkish cast-on video I’ve seen! Really clear instructions and step-by-step. 🙂

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wow!!🥰 Thanks so much!

[@riaellamae]

Great video. Your teaching manner is lovely. Your calm voice makes me think that I can finally do toe up socks. Thank you

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're so welcome; I hope you'll feel confident to try them.

[@heathertucker7056]

I need to try toe up socks! I have always been a bit confused but I will try this! Thank you x

[@heyBrownBerry]

Give it a try, Heather! I'd love to know what you think of this method.

[@carwai]

I saw that toe, I subscribed in the first 10 seconds.

[@marietotora7357]

Your tutorial is terrific. Thanks.

[@BrendieR]

Great tutorial - I especially like the yarn over method as it is very easy to see which round you are on. Sometimes I struggle with other increases especially when the yarn is dark.

[@heyBrownBerry]

Yes! I like to have ways to "read" our knitting.

[@myrnacarruthers416]

Excellent teacher. This is truly one of the best videos on this topic.

[@kugeldog9458]

Beautiful instructions. She is incredibly patient and clear.

[@K-ch4n]

I've watched so many videos about this specific technique and I find yours to be the clearest and easiest to understand! Thanks so much for the video.

[@catherinekhalili4412]

I tried this today and it worked!!! Thank you so much!

[@heyBrownBerry]

You’re very welcome!

[@phf3238]

You are amazing! I first found you with Wolly’s hats and now looking for this method of doing toe up socks. You did it! Thank you.

[@njf2295]

Thank you, this is really well done. Very helpful!!

[@christinecormick6104]

Bless you for giving us your knowledge I have never done this before & I love it, this is going to be so much fun. xxx

[@heyBrownBerry]

Christine you’re so welcome!!

[@jlfields88]

I've just found you today and I'm only halfway through watching my 2nd vid of yours, but I'm so loving them!! I know I'll be binging your channel today!! I really hope you've done a video of how you knit/flick, you're such a great teacher and I love how calm and easy to follow your videos are. Thanks!

[@heyBrownBerry]

Hello, Jenn! I hope you enjoyed some of the past episodes!! I've recently put up some videos that show me knitting "close up" :) I hope you'll find them helpful!

[@wipshosfos5538]

Wow, i cannot wait to try this. Thank you.

[@bonaschkatze]

Thanks a lot for this video! Loved your voice, it was calming me during my struggle with the cast on! :)

[@heyBrownBerry]

Hopefully you made it through and you’re on your way now!

[@myphotoworldjeankd4001]

This is the only cast on I use. Love it.

[@maggiepatterson7949]

I LOVE how you teach!

[@heyBrownBerry]

Thanks so much!

[@union23mom]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. It cleared up a lot of my questions.

[@heyBrownBerry]

Glad it helped!

[@maiamaia4620]

Hello, I'm French, thanks a lot. Your explanations are so clear. I have understood all the process for toes. I am so happy. Now, I have to learn how make à heel of the foot....I really want make socks. Have a good Day, thanks

[@mariellebeaulac5837]

Enjoyed watching your tutorial, so simple, great teacher.

[@heyBrownBerry]

Thank you so much!

[@gloriavella3025]

I just found you today what a great video excellent and how you explain and slow good work I definitely going to try the toe up socks thank you

[@karensorrentino9498]

Very nice and clear tutorial. Cat Bordhi has a hint she shares on her public video to use the tail yarn to make the increases and then you don’t have to weave in the end.

[@heyBrownBerry]

What a genius was Cat!! Thank you so much for that reminder of how much she's helped us all with the big little things.

[@kevinorr6880]

That’s awesome

[@judyworden3133]

Love your tutorial. You have turn me on to toe up knitting. Thank You!

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wonderful!

[@ruthannrichards7799]

I like this toe and the rest of the sock, I am working on a pair tonight

[@sandras2479]

Thank you so much Marce! I was always wary about toe-up socks but have tried this as a practice and the toe looks beautiful! Great tutorial and so well explained. Many thanks again❤

[@dk9946]

I had given up on toe up socks bc the increases were so bulky. Your method is much easier and the increases are smooth and pretty. Thank you!

[@joydsilva8833]

You are such a good teacher, especially for beginners - slow and clear. I look forward to watching and learning from more of your videos. This was the first one. I was wondering what needles you are using. Thank you.

[@marielouisecelestin6407]

Thank you for this professional tutorial, you are great. I want to give this a try, but i don't know how to do a heel in toe up. I always knit from the cuff down with heelflap and gusset. That's how learned it myself. 😘

[@heyBrownBerry]

I'm so glad you came by to check this out Marielouise. In my latest sock pattern, Walk Good Socks, I have a heel flap / gusset for the toe up sock, and the pattern walks you thought it. Since you're familiar with this method for top down, you may find it fairly easy to follow. The pattern is live on Ravelry and Etsy. Let me know if I can help!

[@rachelcunningham2498]

Thank you so much for this fabulous tutorial 💕

[@heyBrownBerry]

You are so welcome!

[@catherinekhalili4412]

I’ve been futzing around most of the day with the Turkish cast on. I keep ending up with a ridge on the toe or Purl stitches on the outside. I’m going to try this method tomorrow. Thank you for explaining which needle does what.

[@ellensweat5251]

I just did my first Turkish cast on. Thank you so much for this great video on how to do it. I am off to knit the first pair of socks from 52 weeks of socks :)

[@delorisyeadon8088]

Hi, Sunny! I'm really glad this was helpful.

I am certainly going to try this Marce. I think I will prefer doing it this way! Thank you for taking the time to make a tutorial x x

[@heyBrownBerry]

Craft House Magic yay!! I hope you’ll enjoy this method, dear Ellie. Your podcasts are such good company these days!

[@heyBrownBerry]

Wishing you happy sock knitting!

[@ladycraftsalot83podcast]

I wish I had seen this tutorial before

[@trininanci]

Thanks for this interesting tutorial. I have used the Turkish cast on in socks and find it way easier than Judy's magic cast on. I have not used the YO increase on socks, so I'll have to try it soon.

[@heyBrownBerry]

You're quite welcome, Nanci - I hope you'll like the YO increases for sock knitting.
