Toe Up Socks - Learn to Knit Toe Up Socks - Tippy Toes Toe Up Socks - Sock Knitting - Step By Step

If you want to learn how to knit Toe Up Socks, this video is the perfect starting point.
In this video I show you step-by step how to knit a Toe Up Sock, using a circular needle and the magic loop method. I'll be knitting English Style with the yarn in my right hand and the sock I'm making is a UK adult size 4 - 5, starting at the toes, using Judy's Magic Cast-On, then has a German Short Row Heel and finishes with a nice stretchy cast off.
I'll be taking you through every step of the way as I knit my sock, but if you need a little more help, I also have in-depth videos on every technique used and will add the links along the way in the video and list them below.
There is a printable PDF version of the pattern that can be purchased on Ravelry and will soon be available on Etsy. The pattern uses all the same techniques demonstrated in this video, but includes the following foot sizes:
UK adult shoe size 3, (Eau 36).
UK adult shoe size 4-5, (Eau 37-38).
UK adult shoe size 6, (Eau 39).
UK adult shoe size 7-8, (Eau 40-41).
The pattern is available on Ravelry at:
www.ravelry.co...
I"m using a 100 gram ball of sock yarn and a 2.5mm (80cm length) circular needle and making a sock to fit a UK size 4-5 foot (37-38 European sizing).

You have explained magic loop technique the best I have ever seen. I sure wish your video was out when I was trying to learn this. Best training video ever !!! Thank you.

[@julievalliere1440]

Please never erase this video, you are a good teacher for the German Short Row. Thank you.

[@lindasunderland4294]

I just found your video. Fantastic! I followed your instructions, knitting with you (not the fast bits) and I am so happy with my first toe up sock. I bought your pattern from Ravelry so I can go ahead and make the second sock. Thank you again for the brilliant video.

[@TLAJ2023]

Now I understand Judy's Magic CO. Thank you for the great instructions!

[@melindapearson295]

WOW!!!!! What an incredible video!!! I have learned so much in this short part - just making the toe!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Wonderful teacher!!!!!

[@wendyavila9825]

Having been an knitter for well over 55 years and vowing NEVER to knit socks, I was inspired by Sammy’s sock and purchased your pattern and with the help of your easy to understand video tutorial ………I’ve knitted a sock! Very pleased with the result. The magic loop, German short rows and stretchy cast-off are all absolutely brilliant. Thanks x

[@WendyPooleTheDressmaker]

Well done, that brilliant, I’m so pleased that you’ve knitted a sock. I know it’s a little moment to celebrate, when you’ve knitted your first sock. Yes Sammy is a ray of sunshine and very into her knitting and crochet, isn’t she. Well done and I’d love to see a photo when it suits you. Xx

[@neenaeddie5272]

I am so pleased to have stumbled o❤❤❤nto your channel! Been searching for a good UK illustration on socks and this is by far the best. Thank you. ❤

[@JacqueDooley]

Your video and instructions were so clear and easy to understand! Thank you so much for your fabulous instruction. I am going to look for more from you. I am a follower now!! Thank you thank you.

[@ceslynwolfe3494]

you make it look so simple. I could not understand German short rows until i met you. You are a great teacher. .

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Thank you! 😊

[@jw8k]

Thank you! very GRATEFUL for you video , you makes it so easy to follow much, much appreciated

[@sleepisabella]

As a person who has ADHD I have been losing my concentration in the knitting of socks. I can't remember what I did at the beginning of the row for inc/dec. Frustrating..yes. 😢 This tutorial is so explanatory and understandable, I can knit along and not make mistakes. 😊 I used to knit socks but stopped because my brain goes to 'broken' mode and confuses itself, so I gave up socks and did only simple stitch garments. Now I can do this again and quite look forward to it as this my preferred style starting at toe. Thank you for making this video. 🎉🎉🎉

[@craftfunforever8100]

What a awesome video. I have e been making socks for thirty years top down .seeing this video I am go I to give this a try later today thank you for a well done video. Happy knitting everyone

[@WendyPooleKnits]

You are so welcome! 😃🧶

[@debismakingstuff3757]

Wendy, I’ve recently been watching lots of knitting tutorials showing socks and hoping I’ll be ready soon to try making my first pair. Although I’ve enjoyed viewing several other accounts and their videos yours has been the most helpful to me. I love how you take your time to show each step in the process. I’m feeling more confident about taking the plunge. Thank you! ❤

[@nannabetty1323]

Thanks for such an informative instruction video, my 2024 resolution- Try knitting Toe up socks, I think it will be much easier than the Heel flap and gusset cuff down style once I get used to it, my motto is - you are never too old to learn new techniques

[@thechosenvoice3472]

Thank you so much for this!!!

[@sandyfleet7256]

I have tried many times to do this cast on and this is the first time I have managed it. Many thanks for your very clear explanation.

[@WendyPooleKnits]

You are welcome 😊x

[@JGandDoug]

Hello Wendy, a great video. I've knitted a few pairs of sock but it's between other projects ,then I forget how to do it. One thing I've noticed watching your video or I've missed it was the side gusset. I found your video so much easier. I have a liking to do two at a time as I have the one knitted sock problem not doing the second one!!! Eager to start next projects. Thank-you. I've brought your pattern and just started your socks doing two at a time. I will let you know how I get on.

[@Kee2024]

Yes please I am looking forward how to knit toe up thank you

[@susiedisney2527]

Pretty!

[@XiniaR72]

Good stuff

[@cherylfinn6548]

At what point did you switch from using the front needle to knit to using back needle? Using the back needle is making my pearl looking stitches on the outside of my sock.

[@natalielambert703]

I am having the save problem and can’t figure out where I am making the mistake- I have restarted three times- so frustrating. Did you ever figure out why this was happening?

[@KimH11]

Great question. I have never used the front needle to work on the back before either. I hope she answers

[@rubypickles1836]

This was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much. Can you tell me what the purple, pink and green yarn you used for the socks in the thumb nail? It's fantastic.

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Aaw thank you. Yes the yarn is King Cole 4ply Zig Zag Sock Yarn: shade Butterfly. 🧦🧶

[@sharoncruz9901]

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much. I’d like to know what to do for contrasting heel and toe - to avoid the stripe at the top of foot in the contrast colour. If anyone can give me a lead for this, Thank you!

[@sandraleyland8748]

I’ve just got loads of that king Cole exact colour on eBay. It was really cheap

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Woo hoo! That’s wonderful, happy sock knitting.🧶🧶

[@cynthiaricecindy8295]

Hello I just found your video please can you tell me how to do this on nine inch circular needles thanks love your videos

[@melmack2003]

Hi Wendy.....I'd like to do the heel in the same yarn as the rest of the sock. Does this cause a any issues to arise? Thanks!

[@louisepinnegar7260]

Do you have any tips for dealing with tension /ladder effect,had to unlock my first effort

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Hi there, I’ll add that subject to be included as discussion in a video in the coming new year. But I do find that when I wash or block my socks that a small amount of laddering can disappear when the socks are soaked.

[@rheawetzler1853]

I love your sock pattern. Do you by any chance have a sock pattern for men?

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. I will be bringing out a Mens version soon, along with childrens socks, it’s on my “to do” list. ☺️

[@rheawetzler1853]

Great! I will look out for it. 😊

[@sunnybigmc90]

When u went around on the top with the red yarn after u did the heel does it have to be that same yarn as the heel? Bc I don’t like the look of a random stripe going across the front of the sock. Like can’t you use the same colored yarn as the rest of the sock??

[@WendyPooleKnits]

Hi there. Yes, to explain it, I knitted the heel in red for the video, so that you can clearly see that this is a character of the German short row heel. So if you knit a heel in a contrast colour you will get that narrow stripe. If you did those two rounds in the main shade, you’re just have more ends to darn in, but could do it that way. Alternatively you could knit the “wrap and turn” short row heel that doesn’t have that 2 rounds halfway through the heel, so it works well if you want to use a contrast colour. I’ve included the link below and hope that answers the question for you. Xx kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3_ZXqd9jbOGj7csi=Jb91zdv6ST_Da-La
