Westknits Year of Socks 2025

[@catherined7545]

I love knitting socks! I agree with most of the other reviews, a mix of simple and advanced. Love sock patterns with a cute design on the heel flap. Thanks for all you do. Love your channel!

[@KarlaGustafson-vq1ch]

Two requests: Let's see the dogs more often! And, some leg warmer patterns, please!! Love the channel.

[@AmayaRodrigo]

I would be so happy to see brioche socks from you. In crazy neon's. With garter details. You know what I mean! 😜

[@anitahuijnen1881]

PRACHTIG 😅😊

[@trineolesen8650]

You always make me smile with your enthusiasm ❤❤

[@emclinton]

Merry Christmas!

[@LizBethA63]

Really love the texture and socks that incorporate mock cables. Excited to see you continue with the year of socks!

[@krautkopf65]

Last year’s socks are beautiful. I’m still pretty new to sock knitting.

[@BaileyJadeMakes]

I love the modular constructions! Those are my favorite. And I love the different sections of stitches and textures that keep it interesting.

[@JasWong]

My absolute favorites were those socks with different textures. I found myself a little nervous because I'd never tried lace, but in this small way able to wrap my head around it, and it worked! The feeling of accomplishment was awesome. As well, there was the "just one more" feeling of it all, which made the project very exciting for me, I found myself wanting to finish just one more section. There's something for everyone in your collection. Those simpler more straightforward designs were lovely palate cleansers, and perfect for taking on the go. I'm looking forward to 2025! Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄

[@MelanieJay77]

❤ you are Amazing Stephen. Have a wonderful Christmas!!

[@kellybaig5361]

Would love some longer socks that are more like stockings: thanks for everything you do!! You have taught me so much!!

[@dianeduke3092]

My suggestion is an Exploration Station pair , with asymmetric short row detail in the leg and the stitch patterns on the top foot.

[@andreamiller6200]

I am delighted to knit with you again. You bring joy! P.S. Listening along, my vote would be for you to challenge me, but I am going to knit with you no matter what.

[@supercovi]

me too!!!! 💛

[@TheRosentau]

Was für wundervolle Socken! 😍🧦 😍 Das klingt spannend für das nächste Jahr und ich überlege mitzumachen.

[@JaneCarr-b3k]

They were all beautiful in 2024 so am excited to join for 2025. I would like to see some fairly basic bed socks but from your thoughts, which would bring some fun and excitement to them. (:

[@pialindeg]

Dear Stephen you are one of a kind - and a marvellous teacher, when teaching. I would enjoy a sock with techniques from your The GO GO DYNAMO shawl- especially the big circles and the funny triangles - oh my.... in white and orange colors and maybe a spritz of violet. Thanks.

[@Frostedminifirecracker]

Ok, I’m in. Last year I did 8 of them. Going for the whole enchilada this year. ❤

[@adrianalemen1137]

I love to see more dk weight socks please.

[@LindaJuneDisley]

Hi Stephen, looking forward to the new sock designs. Have a wonderful Christmas ❤❤❤

[@tanjahageman6663]

You’re doing such an amazing job with this year of socks. I’m not sure that I have much to contribute here. I think the designs that I gravitated toward were “beginner friendly” though I’ve been knitting for about 10 years now. ❤

[@patrickbingham9348]

I’d love some more tuck stitch designs in the socks. I’d also love some really advanced knitting options. Other than that, every design I’ve made of yours has turned out fantastic.

[@810Riet]

Love the modular socks!

[@debbuller1492]

Loved the video I am brand new to knitting socks. My first pair was your Rye socks. I would love to see simpler designs because of just learning

[@bkcoker517]

These look fantastic!!❤❤

[@manus21]

I knit 5 designs of the 2024 year of sock + the Surprise Sock Along

[@13sixth]

Knitting the eyeball shawl now, and really wonder what socks would go with that 😲

[@patriciasalazar1158]

Simply irresistible! 🤩😍🥰

[@ilseschneider2422]

I would like designs with scraps of yarn, and knee socks would be great, too. And patterns adaptable for children

[@katieroe2719]

I love a sock full of interesting texture, and techniques that teach me something (which it sounds like you have already for the year!). Side note - your sweater in this video 😍

[@gregandjanemorash8891]

Lace and beginners friendly

[@janegelberg2003]

i'd love a sock pattern based on the Rockefeller shawl. It's still a favourite with the art deco pattern

[@scaryspider365]

Totally agree with you! Rockefeller and art deco architecture details translated to socks would be excellent!

[@acadrienne]

I’m excited to explore textures that make a good sock fabric… i.e., ones that hug your feet!

[@javajunkie7927]

My favorites were the ones with sections of different patterns, with colorwork like spiral splash.

[@mindystewart792]

I would love to see more color work in the socks

[@mariaalmu7485]

Precioso los diseños 👌👏👏

[@pamkrantz6977]

Looks great BUT wish half would be toe up! I like to see more smiley faces in knit stitches, not everything downward facing. But I do appreciate all of your tutorials😊

[@resourcedragon]

I'm happy to go top down, for me a toe up sock would be a learning experience. And that could be a good thing.

[@dexaria]

Same, toe up is definitely my preferred method too

[@_caryn_s]

Hello! I really loved this look back on the past year of Westknits socks. The Dancing Droplet socks are definitely on my list, and I have the perfect skein of bright rainbow yarn to knit them with!! I would love to see an eyeball shawl-inspired pair of socks. Stephanie Van Der Linden had a sock pattern called "Grün ist die Hoffnung," which started with a radial lace pattern on the top of the foot. Imagine a pair of socks with an eyeball on the top of the foot!? It would be so cool! I'm looking forward to this coming year's socks!

[@StephenWest]

Eyeball socks would be fun!

[@l.denuijl8675]

Love your video’s! Please can you also make a beautiful design in the sock construction toe up fleegle heel. This construction is so very easy to knit. There are a lot of knitters who are afraid for the dutch heel, and the fleegle heel fits very good en is much so much easyer to knit. But you can’t find a lot of designs for such socks.

[@resourcedragon]

It's not a sock pattern but I'd love to see a colour popportunity hat. I've got some wool left over from my socks, there might be enough for a matching hat. And, if not, I think there might be some suitable additional yarns in my stash... I was going through some of your patterns a couple of months ago and it occurred to me that the thing that makes a lot of them work as well as they do is your choices of colour combinations.

[@TheBlueKnitter]

I love to walk and knit so I love simple patterns. BUT I also love to learn new things so too much simple and I’ll be bord. I prefer a mix.

[@marciathomas8702]

Beautiful ❤️

[@Sawmill1]

LOVE THE SWEATER YOU ARE WEARING Stephen - pattern????

[@StephenWest]

Thank you! That's the Fragmentation Sweater: www.westknits.com/products/fragmentation-sweater?_pos=2&_psq=Fragmentation+&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@tanyamcdaniel166]

Love your sweater did you design and knit that too?

[@Moni-ui5bz]

Yay! I've been waiting for this.

[@Artistath3na]

Obsessed ❤

[@AnaOliveira-yh4bk]

Feliz Natal , tudo de bom ❤

[@GrueneNeune]

Brioche ist super!

[@renatehaas3952]

Ich freue mich sehr darauf ❤

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Quite inspiring !!!

[@Artistath3na]

Lace socks please 🙏

[@Bri-ro4lf]

would love some socks to match the striped vortex and Chrysler shawls

[@claudiabettinawitt1311]

Oh,I like it! I wish you create a Toe-Up Sockdesign. Merry Christmas to you and the Team.🧶🫂

[@pamchiechi-dl6qw]

More lace! More color-fades!

[@michaelgoldschmidt5221]

I ever say:" i can't knit socks!" But with a friendly instruction and your tutorials why not to begin the new year with a "yes we can!!!" And some of the patterns i can take for a shawl. I am ready to bei surprised.

[@resourcedragon]

I knitted my first socks ever with the 2023 surprise sock along. If you can manage DPNs (or a circular needle with a magic loop), you can knit socks, especially with Stephen's tutorials. I've even created my own elf sock pattern (for Christmas decorations & other novelty purposes) since then. So I reckon you should be able to manage some socks, too. Actually, the January pattern doesn't look too difficult at all. Go for it!

[@aliciagonzalez2984]

Where is the discount code. You mentioned this would be discounted if purchased before the end of yer 2024?

[@runvidr]

I'd like some toe-up patterns because that's how I prefer to make mine.

[@alicetownsend3306]

Simple beginners friendly dk’s!! 😅

[@Ursula-w5n]

Endlich verstehe ich alles🎉😂😊

[@karamella21000]

I would love to have a matching pair for my exploration station! Beautiful socks in 2023&2024 I am sure that also the 2025 will be gorgeous!

[@steffiprigoff1903]

What sweater pattern are you wearing? Has it been released yet?

[@tanteilorina3256]

Fasziniert ❤😅😊

[@okaminess]

Sock idea: “BONEYARD SOCKS” TO GO WITH MY “BONEYARD SHAWL” ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thebrittasport]

I said it last year and I will say it again... I want fantastitch socks😅 also for DK weight I would love marled magic socks. And for a new construction I would love a heel up sock... they look a bit funky when not worn, but they fit nicely.

[@annickrozenberg2200]

Merci pour l’info - je serais intéressée mais aurons nous la traduction de tous ces jolis modèles de chaussettes ?

[@auraperez6156]

I would love to see toe up socks

[@susansouthard]

I’d like to some heavier socks with dk or worsted weight yarn.

[@HannaH-xk1cm]

I like simple but not too simple 😅

[@heleng9008]

Still no toe-up?

[@catarina1537]

It is very intriguing but I am a beginning sock knitter and these are way too advanced for me. I have a huge problem with the holes that form when I "turn the heel" or whatever else it might be called. I have tried to find books to help me with this issue but can not find anything. Would you consider doing something, perhaps just a few lessons, on this issue-trouble shooting sock problems? Or on a variety of "heel" styles and how to incorporate them into any pattern.

[@resourcedragon]

I have a feeling the Nimble Needles channel might have a video on the topic of the holes when you turn the heel.

[@sheilamccart7553]

No brioche 😂😂😂

[@ManuAustria]

ich liebe alle Socken mit Strukturmuster die wechseln, auch mit verschiedenen Farben, aber pro Abschnitt oder wie bei den Spiral Socken von dir. die waren sooo toll❤❤ ich freu mich so wieder was von dir zu hören😊 deine brioche socken sind auch sooo wunderschön. toll wären auch optionen um den Spann zu erweitern. mein Freund hat einen sehr hohen Spann aber ganz schmale Fesseln. er bräuchte ein extrem dehnbares bündchen da sein Fuss 3 mal so dick wie seine Fesseln sind.er ist immer sehr traurig das man ihm nur socken im rippen Bündchen machen kann. und zwecks der sockenspitze, mir passt die Propeller Spitze am besten. es gibt so viele verschiedene sockenspitzen.

[@alexidevereaux5274]

Seriously... just take my money! 😂

[@resourcedragon]

Hah, hah!

[@kittykat717]

Where is a good slow KZbin tutorial to show me how to make socks please.

[@callissandre9212]

Clo'tricot for exemple and you can slow the tuto yourself 😉

[@kittykat717]

Mit der KI Übersetzung ist nicht schön und häufig falsch. Schade. Der Stil von Stephan geht verloren. Bitte wieder im Original.

Du musst unter Einstellungen - Audiotrack wieder auf Englisch (Original) stellen.

[@manuelakretzschmar5173]

Danke

[@viridiangreen8259]

Sounds like lots of fun but I'm so "yikes" about it

[@resourcedragon]

The January socks look quite easy - a sort of sock gateway drug. I'm someone who only started sock knitting 18 months ago with the 2023 surprise sock along. I've now got several finished socks, plus a whole lot of novelty mini-socks (but they do involve all the techniques needed to make regular people, top down socks), plus a ball and two hanks of sock yarn plus, um, I'm spinning some sock yarn... So you can definitely do it!

[@Moni-ui5bz]

Anything put just textured stitch patterns like the Dustland patterns, that's a bit too boring.

[@TheRomy22ify]

I don't want this AI -voice on the german translation, how can I stop this?? ☠️

You must switch back to English (original) under Settings - Audio track.
