Eliminating Holes in Knitting Socks
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 05. 2016
- When you join the gusset to the instep stitches on a traditional sock you will get a hole at the transition. This hole is often called a pig's eye. This technique will close up the hole. It is also useful in other areas of knitting such as picking up sleeve stitches.

It’s nice to view the Knitting Pipeline tutorials. RIP Paula.
Thank you so much for your video. I just completed my first pair of socks without gusset holes. This isn't the first pair I've knit--just the first pair without holes. So happy!
This is absolutely genius! Thank you so much for sharing this! These little two holes have prevented me from knitting socks for years! 😂🤦🏻♀️ I can’t wait to get cracking again!
Wonderful from a long time knitter. I usually just fudge this area but now I know exactly what to do and what not. Bravo and thanx
Better explanation than others who’ve tried to show this. Thanks!
I love hearing Paula's voice. :'(
Brilliant! What a difference seeing your demo makes. Never made sense to me as I read the words. Now I get it! Thank you so much!
Paula:
**THANK YOU**,...I want to enjoy knitting socks--I've been trying to e-n-j-o-y knitting socks----but now, with your help, I am finally beginning to enjoy knitting socks because!! I don't have a hole at the gusset....what a super suggestion/method you have demonstrated and I finally have found. I just do not understand why I've watched/read/reviewed so many methods and no one has suggested this picking up two stitches below and knitting together. I sincerely appreciate that you have shared this video!! Again, thank you. ~zjg~
Beautiful! This is something that I needed to master on socks and sweaters. Some of the techniques are so complicated they make my head spin- this is much easier! Thanks.
Hannah P thanks for your feedback. I’m so glad you found it useful
Thanks so much, Paula! Cannot wait to try this out! What perfect yarn to demonstrate this technique - and so bright and cheerful:)!
+P. Joan Gavigan Hi Joan, I'm so glad you like it. Thanks for your kind feedback.
Also, I love how the solid lime green of the cuff perfectly matches the green in the variegated yarn. Yarn companies don't usually coordinate solid and variegated yarns like that.
This is such a great tip!! I'm going to try it on my next pair of socks!!
Thank you so much for the great tutorial, Paula! I am working on the heel flaps of my socks now, so this is very useful for me! Thank you, too, for mentioning the little box of socks! I ordered it, and I am thrilled with it! I am looking forward to watching more of your videos and reading your blog! Thanks, again!
I'm so glad the technique helped you, Luann.
I've been looking for a video like this for sooo long! Nobody explains WHICH stitch to pick up, and now I have learned a new technique for closing up the gap!! Thank you--it works!!!
I'm so glad it helps you! Thanks for your positive feedback.
Love this technique. You get up close to your work so it is easy to see and understand. Thanks so much.
Thanks for your feedback, Rhonda. I'm glad you found it useful.
Danke für die wunderbare Erklärung. Sehr, sehr schön. 😘
Perfect - this was so useful and clear - thank you so much!!!
This makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing this
Thank you so much. This helps a great deal in working out those gusset holes. Best regards from Montreal
This is so awesome to learn, I have been trying different ways, and have not been pleased.
Tutorial perfection. Thank you!
Klasse! Da ist eine so gute Idee! Habe es direkt ausprobiert und werde es ab jetzt immer so machen! Danke schön, du hast mir damit alle zukünftigen Socken verschönert! meinen Freundinnen werde ich diese Art auch empfehlen. Ich freue mich sehr! Danke nochmals! Ich wünsche dir Gottes guten Segen!
Thank you so much from Europe - good technique and you explained it greatly. Thank you for sharing your talent!
thank you for that really useful tip. looking forward to more perfect socks.
Thank you Paula, great tutorial!
Great video filled with good tips! I am going to try this. I am one who picks up the running thread and twists the stitch and I seem to have good luck with that but your technique looks even better! Love the videos, Paula! Thank you for doing them.
+SusanBAnderson You are so sweet. I'm so glad you like the tip. (Your socks look fine to me.)
Great tip, thank you. Love the yarn!
Perfect! Those holes always make me a bit crazy and my knitting friends couldn't tell me how to fix them!! Thank you so much!
Those holes made me crazy too. This little trick made sock knitting so much better for me. I'm happy to share. Thanks for your feedback.
This was a super helpful video. Thank you.
Great tutorial! You knit exactly like I do. My grandparents came from Denmark and Germany, and can't really remember where I learned to knit. I haven't met many knitters that use this method. Thanks for a great tutorial.
I learned in Denmark too! We're knitting twins.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. 💖
Thank you! This has really helped me👍☺️
Thanks for this! Knitting my first ever sock and just noticed the hole at the gusset join, so know what to do for the next one!
Thanks for sharing this tip !
Oh man... how have I just discovered your channel!!! Love it!
Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Loved the visual...enjoy watching your podcast...
Thank you for your positive feedback, Loretta.
Thank you for sharing, lovely :) Have a beautiful day. ♡ xx
Wonderful! Thank you!
Great yarn!!!
Perfect way to fix those pigs eyes! Thank you! Recently I read that knitters can fix THAT HOLE by doing 2 stitches in that running stitches, but you are right, it made the hole worse. Thank you for your video. I'm going to use it in my next sock class! ♥︎
Glad you like it!
that yarn is beautiful. I checked out dancing dog dye works but they had twisted yarns not anything close is that a fingering weight yarn?
great video. Thank you so much.
Thanks, easy to understand!
Thank you so much for this! These craters always drive me nuts. I call them air conditioning holes, lol. They also would occur in the mittens I would make in the thumb gusset. (@2:40).
That is so helpful, thank you!
You are most welcome!
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much - I have always wondered why patterns do not show this as part of the pattern. This I a huge help!
I'm so glad you found it helpful. It has made sock knitting much more satisfying for me.
Thanks a million x
Thank you so much for this tip - it works brilliantly. No more pigs eyes for me!
I'm so glad you like it. No more pig's eyes for sure!
This was a great visual aid Paula!! Now I get it. I just didn't get it from reading instructions only in the SOS pattern by Susan B. Anderson.
So glad it helped, Selma.
Very helpful....thanks!
Thank you!☺️☺️☺️
Thanks heaps. God bless.
wonderful tip although filming was difficult on the eyes and too fast.
Thanks so much for this!
You are most welcome.
Thankyou so much, my sock now looks normal
Thanks this was perfect!!!
So glad you found it useful.
Video was really clear thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for your feedback.
Thanks I like picking up 2 legs never thought of that one.
Glad you like it.
Wowwwww thank you very much it is very helpful happy knitting 🧶
Love developing my knitting to a fine art and this is wonderful. Can't believe I am subscribing to another knitting channel but you are too great in your clarity, pace and deliberate instruction. Kudos! The stretchy bind off is great too.
Thank you so much, Barbara.
Hi Paula. Love your work . Great advice for closing the gap. Question - how would you address this if the 1st on the left hand needle is a purl stitch?
I would do it the same way. You are creating a new stitch in the gap. You can keep that new stitch on the right needle and decrease on the next round.
Thank you so much, will give it a try.
Hello. Thanks for video)) Could you please tell me what kind of needles do you use? They are very beautiful)))
I believe the needles are Knitter's Pride wooden dpn's. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I know this is your first video podcast and you will work out kinks as you go along. My suggestion is to back off from close-up shots as your project goes off screen and blurry. Another is the glare on your eye glasses...maybe an opaque shade on the window to cut down on that or video tape at a slightly different angle?
Your projects are lovely and I do appreciate the visual tips. It's so much easier to execute a procedure if you can see what the knitter is doing rather than reading how to instructions.
Very often off screen and unfocused but I got it. Thank you!
great tip! Also love the yarn, can you remember what it is?
It was a gift from a friend and I can't find it in my Ravelry projects. I believe it is Dancing Dog Dyeworks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your feedback.
I discovered the “Pig’s Eye” with my first pair of socks. Assumed I had done something wrong. Had them again with the second pair.! knew it wasn’t me, what to do, what to do. Tried my own fix on the third pair, nope, that’s not right. Eureka, skip the running yarn and go down a row!! Thank you so much for this great video tutorial!
Very often off screen and too close of the camera.... it`s helful, but we don`t seen pretty well... good video, thanks!
Hola, gracias pero la cámara
esta enfocada muy arriba, y muy muy cerquita...
entonces no se aprecia nada...abrazo
What kind of needles are those?
I'm not sure. It's been a while and I have a lot of needles. My guess is that they are Knit Picks wooden dpns.
Too many times your work isn't on camera.....wobbles......can you fix that? Thanks!!
No, I'm sorry. I did my best with the equipment I have.
Knitting Pipeline
you just can’t please some people. It was clear as day. A bit of wobbling did nothing to affect the tutorial. Also thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the video. Great info. BTW, what is the sock yarn you are using? LOVE it. Deb
Thanks for your feedback. The yarn is Dancing Dog Dyeworks.
I would like to view this in slow motion please
Off screen quite a bit, but loved this very useful post. 🤗
I love this technique, just wish I could have seen it better. The stitching was at the top of the screen as you picked up the side gusset stitches and I couldn't follow very well. Thanks, though. I really did like how you closed the gap.
I know I don't have the greatest set up. Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad it helped.
Ur going off camera hard to see what u are doing. Need to keep it in the frame. But I get ur explanation, n it's a good idea ,a nice neat way to close up holes.
The gusset is the hardest part for me- it put my 2nd sock at a 5 month standstill. The first sock's gusset is crooked/twisted. Where did I go wrong?
I'm sorry I can't troubleshoot for you without seeing the sock. Do you have a knitting guild or shop in your area where you could ask for help?
Very instructive video. Thank you. That part has always been my downfall.
brilliant instructions but could you re-do the camera work please?
The information is great, but it's too difficult to watch because it's all way too zoomed in. I found myself reflexively pulling my head back.
Wow, you make me dizzy being out of frame a lot..........
It's the best I can do with my set up.
Youre out of the frame and it is hard to see clearly.
Unfortunately a lot of what you're doing is off camera to the top, don't know if you realized that. A pity as it would have been very helpful if one could always see what you're doing.
No in range of seeing this. Thanks anyways
You keep getting out of frame. Can't see what you are doing.
Off screen too much. Gave up, found another.
You are so off camera Lady. So annoying. Finally got it as I’m not a beginner. I do want to learn from the tutorials.
