I literally started knitting 5 days ago after crocheting for 10 years. I cried when I finished my first sock and I'm not ashamed to admit it. 😂 Something I thought was impossible for years and thanks to you I've done it! EVERYONES GETTING SOCKS FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.
YAY!!!! That is incredible, Brogan!!!! Congrats 🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃
congratulations ^^
I am also a crocheter for years now and I started knitting last year (because I was in a sick leave, and just was staying all the time in my bed 😅)
I have made a hat (last year) with a circular needle and finished today my pair of gloves with dpns. The gloves were challenging at first but I did well for my first try. I toltally understand you big happiness and your tears.
Next project is gonna be: socks. Wish me luck ^^
and good luck as well with your next projects ^^
I’ve been crocheting for about 3-4 months and my brother brought up my knitting needles that I don’t use anymore, so I decided to get back into it (I just started today) :) I’m so proud of myself for doing this.
Slow down! Not everyone knows how to cast on. Horrible video
Yessssss after so many years crocheting, I’ve turned knitting addict now💖💖💖💖💖💖💖thank you Voolenvine🙏
It’s so wholesome to read the comments about everybody so happy to knit a sock

Thanks!
thank u !
thx!
I took up knitting two weeks ago... Just learnt the basic knit and purl... Now I'm going to try a sock with this tutorial.
I did lose the instruction at the heel... I was confused and its done fast... Thanks to pause and watch again... I'll give it a go... If you see a video of a 56 Yr old male huddled in a corner crying insanely, rocking back and forth, vowing never to do it again...
That's me and its going well... 😃
Haha you are so funny. Did you succeed?
I am having such a great laugh with your comment! Making socks and gloves are my next projects after making an ireland flag scarf for a friend and a 4'2" wide by 4'8"(have to measure again) long shawl. This is going to be a fun project. I'm just missing the threading needle. Good luck with the socks!! Do you by chance have extra space in the corner for me to curl up in fetal position as I cry getting myself lost part way through making mine??
You can do it Mr. Gunn!!!
You are very brave🤩
@@carolyndaly4764 Thank you... One cuff is done now. .. 😃
"Congratulations my friend you knitted a sock!!"
Me who didn't knit a sock: Thank you, thank you...
Three hundred likes and only one comment lol
When I turned my first heel, I was so excited. "What is this magic?" At that point, I knew I could knit ANYTHING! 😂
Omgg HAHAA cutee
You're soft
Yes, what is that magic? Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can’t. IDK how that is and it happens with Kitchenor stitch too. It’s hit or miss and I’m frogging over and over and that section of yarn gets a bit over worked. I’ve knitted 6 pairs of socks so I can do it but it takes a while.
Excellent! ❤ You take the fear out of a scary proposition. Thank you!!!! ❤❤
One sock down and now on the second! Getting over SSS (second sock syndrome). Thanks for getting me through the hurdle of knitting a sock for the first time. I now have utter respect for this humble garment!! 🧦
Update: now finished my second sock 🧦🧦! Huge thanks - I’ve learned so much following this video! Now for another pair to hone my skills 👍🏻😀
:)
Kristin, I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I used your tutorial to knit my very first pair of socks earlier this year. I had wanted to knit socks for years, but was too scared. I didn’t ever think I was good enough to do it, but I did! I’ve since a pair for two of my kids and for my husband. I’ve knit more pairs for me, but the first pair is my favorite because I am so proud of them. They’re not perfect, but they’re warm and comfortable. Again, thanks for the tutorial!! If you’re feeling like I was, go for it! You can do it and you’ll be so proud!
Yay!!! That makes me so happy to hear. 🤗💖
oh my gosh i just finished my first knitting project that wasn't a scarf and i couldn't have done it without you thank you so much!!! your explanations were so easy to follow. again thank you!!
I started knitting at the grand old age of 60, January 2021. After the completion of several hats and a couple of basic jumpers, my daughter challenged me to knit her some socks. Cue terror!!!! 😬Then I found your tutorial and written instructions and away I went. I love the way you explain everything so well making, what seemed impossible, possible. I have now finished the socks and have wrapped them up as a stocking filler (lol) Thank you so much for making it a painless process. I will certainly be visiting you again. 😀
i just knitted my first sock ever with your tutorial, thank you for explaining stuff so great!! (also first knitted sock feels like a huge success for me, omg)
Well done tutorial! I have been knitting socks for a while, and yes once you have done it you get to understand how patterns work. I love following along with your step-by-step instructions. I think it will be very helpful for sock beginners! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and the accompanying pattern! 6 weeks ago I knitted my first 'test' sock from some old yarn in my stash after a 5+ year knitting hiatus, and today I finished my second full pair! This is an excellent way for beginners like me who were always afraid of patterns or for getting 'back on the horse'. "Adventurous Beginner" was the perfect level description. New socks for everyone!
“Now it looks something like a uterus” 😂😂😂
😂
My 11yo son sitting next to me says "what the hell?" 😂
Thank you Kristin! I’ve been knitting off and on for 30+ years and NEVER attempted knitting socks because I thought it was too hard. I just completed my FIRST SOCK with this EXCELLENT Tutorial! I can’t believe I did it! I am so proud of myself and GRATEFUL to you for putting this video together for people like me. I’m a visual learner.
Wow! This tutorial was so clear. Makes me want to try knitting socks, which I never thought I would want to do 🙂
Many years ago, as a young child, we used > get socks, hankies & toffees for Xmas. i also wore white cotton knitted socks. This in the Union of South Africa, now Republic of S.A.
This was amazing! I never knew that I was picking up and knitting stitches the wrong way.....🤣.....you have inspired me to knit a pair of socks....loved the heel instructions....like magic! Now to pick the colors 😊🖤⭐️
I just made my FIRST SOCK EVER, following your video. I am so happy! I never thought I would be able to make socks!
Ah! I have been following your pattern for three years now. I’m happy to see you upload this! I was trying to take a look at using circular needles instead of dpns. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much, knit my vety first pair of socks. I am gifting them to my grandmother for christmas. She always knits socks for everyone in the famil. So I thought I ought to make her a pair for once. Your tutorial was most helpful !
OH MY!!!! I did it! I not only knitted a sock, my friend...but I finished the pair! I invested in a second needle to work magic loop when I got halfway through the process. I had finished up to the plain stockinette portion of the foot & decided I want to make sure there's no second sock anxiety for me this time. So I started on my 2nd sock & played catch up until I only had to work the easy part of stockinette on each sock until I reached the tip of my baby toe on each sock. Leaving only the toe decreases & the dreaded (for me anyway) kitchener stitch. But I tell you, my fears & anxieties are now a thing of the past. Your tutorial + pattern made it an amazing lesson in a simple vanilla sock. What a wonderful experience! I can now say with confidence I'm a sock knitter! In fact, I'm addicted. Thank you, dear Kristin.🥰 p.s. I love your channel.
I can crochet now I’m moving to the knitting
i know neither but i’ll figure this out eventually
Ive been knitting for 10+ years and just now starting doing other things besides hats and scarves. Your sock patter has helped a lot. My heal turn didn’t quite end like yours but thats ok, my grandma still loved them. ❤️
Thank you!!! Finally a heel, flap, gusset tutorial that makes sense! I can do it now!
This was awesome! After years of failed starts I now have a finished PAIR of socks. It was super fun, thank you.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I made my first sock and feel some knitting pride even with my mistakes. On to the second sock. I am forever grateful for you easy coaching and you fun humor!
Thank you so much!! I have knitted my first sock and now can’t wait to do more!! Your teaching has been so invaluable! Thank you very much again!!
I have just finished my first EVER sock in a DAY!!! And i swear it looks like it's the 100th sock i knitted 😍 The video and the pattern, ugh PER-FECT 🌸 I definitely will knit more with your instructions. I used a bit thicker yarn with 3.5mm needles and casted on 48 stitches for 8 number foot and made the leg of the socks smaller. I really liked how it turned out. Time to start the next foot 😂 THANKS A LOT💜
I have been making a sock for the last month through some very rocky times!! It has been my escape and I’m so grateful for this video!
Thank you so much for your very straight forward tuition in sock knitting. I started a few years ago and have read and tried very many ways, via good tutorials and written patterns, but for some reason found that your instruction just clicked easily with me. So thank you 💕
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Carol Ann. Thank you for letting me know and Happy Sock knitting! 😄
Thank you so much. I made my first sock. It is huge, but I couldn't have done it without you. The ankle area is so baggy. Thank you so much.
This was an awesome tutorial! Knitting a pair of cuff down socks now and will definitely be using this video to help me with the tricky heel and gusset! Thank you!
Thank you! I have been weirdly intimidated by sock knitting and this was so helpful. I accepted the possibility that my very first sock could turn out somewhat off and that it might not be wearable at all, but I'm now surprised that it's not only wearable but also look super good and neat actually.
Guys! This video is so amazing and helpful! I got the courage and started a pair of sock, I purchased and addi flipping needles, it’s so fun to do it after the first few rows! Please give it a try 😃💕💕 thank you Kristen!!
Seriously, I keep coming back to this tutorial everytime I need to turn a heel. It is so helpful, the pacing is great. Thank you so much (on my forth pair now).
I started knitting socks in Magic Loop. Then I challenged myself that I also wanted to be capable knitting socks with 5 dpn's. Guess what, that is by far my favorite way of knitting socks. Love this episode, certainly helpful for knitters who want to knit socks.
Superb tutorial, Kristen! I especially appreciate the thoroughness of your links and your timeline guide to segments..SO helpful!
I am now on my second pair. This video gave me the confidence to attempt this feat. This is something that I have wanted to do for years. Thank you thank you thank you!❤
I’d never knitted anything except the basic square we did in home economics class a long , long time ago.
I was searching for crochet patterns when I stumbled across this gem of a video.
I can’t believe I’m knitting socks now.
Thank you!
Brilliant video, so easy to follow.
Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial. Im so anxious to make these socks. You are a good teacher and have a soothing voice. Never have used magic loop just DPN needles. But I'm going to give it a try.
I've watched quite a few knitting tutorials and gotten more and more confused. But this was so straight-forward, thorough, great camera angle, excellent! I'm knitting socks now! Thank you.
After a few days of here and there, I knitted my first sock, many thanks to you! Like others commented here, there is, for some reasons, a great fear of sock knitting. For 40 years, I knitted a sweater (my first project with a coach), many scarves, hats and dish clothes... but I would not go to the knitting of socks! This new year, one of my goals is to face my fears of any endeavors worth taking - knitting socks is one of them! I thought I would take advantage of my Christmas break and get a head start on concurring this sock knitting fear. Between you and the Crazy Socks Lady, I knitted my first sock! Yay! I have to pause the second sock of the pair due to the sold out of the yarn type and color I used for the first sock. But I am thinking of getting another supply of wool yarn for the next pair. This time I will be sure I get enough yarn for the project. Do you have a favorite 100% American wool brand you would recommend? Again, many thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you! Loved everything about this-pace, angles, explanation.
What an excellent tutorial! Socks have always intimidated me but I feel like I want to give it a shot now. Thank you!!
Hands down the best & easiest method!! Thank you Kristan (I’m a lefty novice & you made me understand) 🇨🇦 BC
Thank you so much for this. I never understood the terminology and what it would look like- seeing this is giving me confidence to give it a go. Thank you for the generous tutorial and pattern.
Im a new knitter but have been crocheting for years, i'm very excited to try this for my first sock knit!! GREAT tutorial, thank you
I have never seen a tutorial as simple as this one. It just gave me the confidence to knit a pair of sock.
I have tried to knit socks,,but when l came to the heel, l made a mess, and left the work.
Brilliant tutorial!
I am SO happy that I have found your channel! My husband doesn't like toe up socks. I've been searching for a nice vanilla cuff down sock for both he and I. Thank you, thank you! ✌❤🇨🇦
What a great tutorial! I have been intimidated by sock knitting, but after watching you I think I will try it. Thank you 🤗
Kristin, you are a fantastic knitter and an instructor. Thank you for all your help, I am very proud of myself for having completing a pair of socks without having to unravel, thanks to you!
I knit my first sock!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love the uterus analogy
Thank you, Kristen this is the best tutorial! You made this clear and easy to follow. I am ready to tackle my first pair of socks.
Thank you! Your tips for picking up gusset stitches are really useful. This is the area I've struggled with and where I get a 'gap'. Great tutorial.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I managed to make my first ever pair of socks -and understand how- thanks to your clear explanations & visuals !
Thank you so much for this tutorial 💗 I just admire all the things you do and enjoy following your work. Deeply appreciate the details you put in everything. Much love 💘
This is an empowering tutorial. I feel liberated from needing to follow a pattern because you helped me understand what I was doing and why. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you, Kristin x
Yay! I just made my first sock thanks to you ❤️ Will definitely knit another pair of socks!
Thank you for a very easy and well explained video. I’ve definitely saved this and looking forward to trying to knit 🧶 my first sock.
Funnily enough, I cast on a fresh pair last night!!! Pumped to see this on the feed.
I’ve been knitting for years and have found socks to be so confusing.
I’ve bought heaps of books on how to knit socks and your video has just made things a lot easier to understand. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much. I have been knitting for over 40 years but I always felt intimidated by socks. I have just turned my first heel after following your tutorial. I'm so grateful to you. Have a super day. Lots of love from the 🇬🇧 🥰
I just finished my first sock! Thanks for holding my hand through this!
I'm a beginner about kniting, and i really excited to watch your video. I can't wait to make my first socks as i dream it for so long.
For me, comfy socks are heaven! These look great!
I just knit my first sock, thank you so much! I've been knitting "straight things" for years, tea towel, scarves, etc. and was very intimidated to try anything with shape. This tutorial was very easy, and I'm looking forward to making many socks as Christmas gifts! Thanks again :) only comment is at the end, when you say weave your ends in and block, I'm not sure what that means? A quick description of that would be super helpful, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a video/some instructions online.
I am a completely youtube taught crocheter and branched out into knitting a couple years ago (also youtube taught). My husband has been asking for socks ever since, I have been so scared of socks that I have put him off until I found your video. Omg they aren't as scary as I thought they were, you would have thought I cured cancer with how excited I was when I finished my first sock. Thank you so very much for this easy to follow video you've made me a sock hero!!!
I finally finished my first sock. 😁 I had to redo it three times because it was coming out too big, but I finally got it right. Thank you soso much!t
Kristin, THANK YOU for putting together and publishing your tutorial. I have knit about half a dozen pairs of socks but there is ALWAYS more to learn. You inspired me to cast on a new pair and I used your attaching in the round technique with the tail and working yarn....BRILLIANT! As you said, this is always the fussy part of the sock and this technique made it so much easier. Looks great too! THANK YOU! XO, Kristen
Yay! I made my first pair of socks! Thank you for the simple pattern and great video!❤️
I've NEVER tried knitting socks, but have wanted to for many year. Watched this while folding laundry and subscribed!
I'm actually in need of new socks right now as well, so finding this after doing a search has inspired me! I have lots of yarn, currently in boxes due to a reno... but as soon as I have the chance to get it out, I will give this a try!
Fawn 🩷

Really great a video! I am learning to knit my first pair of socks with DPNs and this video has been a HUGE help! I love the segments, it’s so easy to find where I am and see how to proceed. Thanks!
I decided to learn to knit and this is the first video I came across. I just finished my heel turn and I’m so excited to keep going. This is a great tutorial, so easy to understand!!
That is absolutely wonderful, Jennifer!!! So happy you found my tutorial helpful. Happy Sock knitting! 🤗
I did it!!!! Took 2 years of coming back to this video but I now have 2 socks!!!! Thanks for the super clear instructions
Thank you ! 🙏 even though I’m not new to socks I still learned / clarified a few techniques 😊
I finished my first sock.....so excited!!! Fabulous video thank you so much....never thought I would knit socks. On to the next one.
I made a pair of socks! Thank you for your clear tutorial and relaxing music.
my first sock ever was a complete nightmare but this really helped me get out the rut thinking I just suck at socks! great tutorial, I'm off to make the second one!
thank you
i did it my first pair of socks ! great tutorial !!!! watched it about 50 times! more please
Amazing tutorial! Thank you! It is clear, extremely well explained and demonstrated. I am new at sock knitting - only one pair under my belt - and I recognize all the steps I’ve gone through but I now understand much better what I was doing and why. Great job!
This is the BEST TUTORIAL!!!!
Thank you so much for the free pattern and video. I appreciate the numbered sections listed for the video. I have tried about a dozen different patterns and watched numerous videos trying to knit socks. I think your video seems to be the easiest to follow.
I’ve been crocheting for 11 years. I learned the basics of knitting yesterday. I want to make socks for my mom as a surprise. She has been wanting me to learn to knit for years.
Thank you so much for this video!! I've tried to knit socks before and gave up because i found it too hard, but you make it so easy!! I just finished my first sock, going to start on the second and I'm alredy feeling that everyone i know is getting socks as gifts from now on
I just wanted to say thank you. Knitting the heel of the sock felt so daunting and complicated (nearly impossible) from reading the knitting pattern that I first tried. But your tutorial is so well explained step by step that I did it with ease. Thank you so much. I now know I can confidently knit new and fun sock patterns. (And go back and finish the one I first started haha)
You are SUCH an excellent teacher. I have no fears and am most excited to start knitting socks!
This is without doubt THE BEST sock tutorial I have watched! Thankyou ☺
Thank you very much. I am making tiny Xmas stockings and needed help in picking up stitches on each side of heel. Thank you for showing me proper way to pick up. Thank you for sharing much appreciated. ❤️❤️
thank you so so so much for this tutorial with such clear explanations! i have just finished my first ever sock and it fits PERFECTLY, i am so happy and excited to knit it's twin))
Thank you for such a great, easy to follow tutorial. This could become my next craft addiction! Love how it makes the yarn shine.
I can see this tutorial has 3 years and I just came across it. I just watched it, as it is, it was so pleasant to watch and next time I will just follow along. You gave very clear instructions, this shouldn't be difficult at all. I was crocheting first and recently I started to knit. Have a fab day, Love!
Thank you so much, this step by step is so helpful an clear.
OMG, I only knitted one pair of socks 🧦 ever, And no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t get it, you my lady are an excellent teacher, I been watching your video for over a week, and honestly I feel confident I can try again knitting a pair by following your video, wow, you make it look so easy, I am blown away, I will keep you posted when I finish my 2 nd pair ever of 🧦 socks, thank you, thank you, thank you, you have no idea how many videos I have watched, your is by far the best.
