I learned how to knit socks from your extraordinary videos years ago and still go back to review after having left knitting for a while. Thank you for taking the time to offer your knowledge and advice.
Thank you for making these videos. People have complimented me on the socks I have knit for them and I owe the instructions to you! You're very knowledgeable and encouraging. I don't know exactly what convinced you to create these videos but I'm glad you did. You're a really good teacher. And an excellent knit queen! God bless.
Thank you for this, and for explaining WHY something is instead of just doing it and thinking everyone else can simply follow. So very glad that I found your video! This is my first pair of socks and this is where I was stuck because I could not see exactly what or why I was forming this heel, gusset, etc.
This is aVERY useful , interesting and well worked tutorial! You made me loose my fear of sock! thank you!!!
All of her videos are very helpful
Thank you. This is so simple. Struggling with my first sock even with videos from knot kit supplier 😱
You’ve made it make sense. Thank you!
I love your you tube videos my grandmother taught me how to knit and she is not with us and I miss calling her and asking her questions or stopping by and getting her to show me how to fix my stuff, please keep posting , love some on slippers for a kids ,, take care thank u again
Thank you so much. Have watched several videos and yours is by far the clearest and easiest to understand. Ready to start my first heel flap now!
Love your videos! You're so good at making it simple for us to understand!
You are the best tutor ,I love the way you show and explain very clearly,Thankyou very much .
Thanks for this video! Just starting on my first pair of stocks and your instructions not only match the pattern I'm using, but explain it very well! :D
Thanks for making clear, interesting videos. I love recommending them to my knitting students! 💕
thank you for clear instructions ... i have just started knitting a sock - well a baby sock. i took a class last week on the heel flap gusset and ending the toe in kitchener. started on my own this afternoon and have taken the heel flap back three times because the pattern wasn't written properly. you don't have a set up row - you just start with the Sl,K repeat across the first row then Sl1 and Purl the next row. I was getting totally confused with how the teacher wrote her initial pattern then gave me a corrected pattern and that wasn't right neither. I'm going to keep at it because I've wanted to try socks for ages. once again thank you for your clear instructions.
I love your tutorials, you show and explain it all so well. Thank you so very much!!!
You are just an awesome teacher. I'm so glad I found you!
@dorsha2012 Oh, no - don't be upset! We'll figure this out! You're following the pattern so your count should be correct. One thing I can think that you might be doing is counting one right-side row PLUS one wrong side row as ONE. That is actually two rows. The other thing that might be off is your gauge. Does your cuff look especially large, or about the same size I demonstrate in the video? If it's large, you may need to go down a needle size or two to get it right.
Thank you so much! I had no idea what I was doing wrong on the heel flap but you cleared it up completely.
@mybamboosticks Great! I'm glad you're enjoying sock knitting!
thank you for these videos! ive been stuck making scarfs for years because i didnt understand patterns but these videos really help!
@SuperKyasarin Yes - this is all clear in the written pattern, including the number of rows you need to do to make it work. :)
I love your videos! But I thought I might point out that you are demonstrating a slip stitch heel. The eye of partridge off sets the slip stitches and the knit stitches so that it makes a more lattice looking pattern.
I just love you so much, lol.
You have helped me through so much learning!!
You should have a tutorial on how to do tutorials, lol.
You haven't messed anything up - your heel will just look a little different, that is all. Keep on doing what you're doing. It's no mistake - it's a "design feature".
Tenpa Gyaltsen - yes, I misspoke, but I work the stitch correctly. Always slip as if to purl, unless the pattern specifies otherwise.
I'm very appreciative of your videos because I'm a visual person, so it was extremely useful and easy to understand how to knit socks. So Thank You.
Excellent Tutorials! Highly recommend!
@Anuyogi09 Yes - correcting your work from knitting inside-out to right side out is the same with circular needles or DPNs.
@Anuyogi09 Yes - you can flip the sock so that the right side is facing out. Then I want you to watch my video called "Knitting Help - Knitting Inside-Out on DPNs". (Sorry CZcams won't let me give you a direct link here in the comments.) That video will explain to you how you're knitting, and how to fix it. :)
These are wonderful videos, thank you SO MUCH!
We're going to start shooting another round of videos very soon, and a sweater class will be part of it!
@Patchables You're doing something that is very common when some people use double-pointed needles - you're knitting "inside out". It's tough to explain in text how to change what you're doing (I'll need to shoot a video), but for now, just flip your sock right-side out and keep going. Pay close attention so that you don't accidentally start knitting on the purl side.
Finally learning how to knit socks. Yay! I’ve completed the heal flap, but I notice that the eye of partridge pattern is on the WS and should be on RS. I can’t figure out where I went wrong. Any ideas?

@@verypinkknits Thanks. Yes I am working from your pattern and have sent you an email.
@@lindarouse3055 - I haven't received an email from you, please check that you're sending it to staci@verypink.com.
@@verypinkknits Sorry, made a mistake in email address. I just resent it.
@AryanaHamilton That is all spelled out in the written pattern that accompanies these videos. Are you working from the written pattern? It is available for purchase and immediate download by following the link just under the video in the video description.
i was lookin for some down south trippery when i found this....LOVE IT!
So helpful! Thank you. I havent found a better tutorial than this one.
You are a very good teacher. Thank you.
Yes - when you are working in-the-round, knitting every round will give you stockinette. You get garter stitch by alternating knitting a row and purling a row.
this is heel slip stitch, not eye of cartridge. EOP is: row 1-*s1, k1*. row 2-*s1,p across. row 3-s2,*k1,s1*, k2. row 4- repeat row 2. repeat all rows
@AryanaHamilton The heel flap is just straight back-and-forth knitting, and will not make a V shape. You don't get a shape like that until after you turn the heel. :)
Follow the link just below the video, in the video description field, to be taken to my website. All of the information about this pattern is available there.
@dharmagems Yes, I misspoke. I've added an annotation to correct that. It is, however, clear in the written pattern as to how to work the stitch.
Thank you very much... These videos have been great help... Explanations are perfect...
Emily Kim - I can't help you much with modifications, but you should be good just knitting the sections of the pattern marked "toe" and "heel" in the different color.
Oh no! No need to remake the pattern. Yes, I think I'll just switch colors in the other sections. Thanks so much!
If you're knitting a flat piece, knitting every row will give you garter stitch. (Alternating knitting a row and purling a row will give you stockinette.) If you're knitting in-the-round, knitting every round will give you stockinette.
Hi, I love your tutorials. I knit rompers and was wondering if you could guide me as to how to knit the heels and feet on the baby romper using straight needles. I knit top to bottom and the legs I do straight down on the straight needles. thank you.
wow! My 11 year old daughter has learned so much from you! She says: OMG!!!!!!
Your sock becomes so perfect. I'm knitting a pair of baby socks , I'm making them with 48 stitches which means 12, 24,12. The problem is I don't know how to arrange the heel. I don't know where to start the decrease. I'll appreciate your advice. Thank you!
It isn't easy to "wing it" on a sock...I recommend following a tried-and-true pattern! There are lots of cuff-down baby sock patterns available on Ravelry, even free ones!
@christiane37124 I think she ment PURL.Like she said before, if u slipas if to knit, u will twist the stitches.
This is a WONDERFUL video, I can't thank you enough!!!! :) It really answered my questions.
Regardless of how you knit, you should always slip stitches "as if to purl", unless the pattern tells you otherwise.
No - while you're slipping the stitches, you can keep the working yarn in back (even though you're slipping "as if to purl").
@christiane37124 well i cant help on the conversion chart, but in stead of the partridge thingy, just slip the first one then knitto the end, turn around slip then purl.
im not sure but its my guess to a thinner heel.
@lbredikhin5 Are you following along with the written pattern as well as the videos? I'm happy to help you figure out why yours is lopsided, but you need the written pattern to be able to accurately knit the sock. Feel free to message me.
Do you think I could use Eye of Partridge with the german short row sock heel technique? I am thinking I'm going to try
Hello,, I've just watched this for the first time (rewound and re-watched several times to verify what you did) and am a tad confused. You stated the first stitch on the heel flap should be slipped as a "knit" stitch, yet you slip it as a purl? Is this to say it will show as a slipped knit on the right side of the work and a purl on the wrong side? If you could please clarify. Thank you kindly, Gertie
Gertie - please follow the instructions in the pattern. Really, you can slip the stitch either way, but slipping as-if-to-knit is going to give you a slightly tauter edge.
I love your videos!!! you are amazing!! thank you so much!! :) you made knitting socks really easy
So sorry but followed your directions and got a lopsided flap that looks nothing like your pattern. Maybe on 3rd row one should: Sl 2 and end with K2, like I found on other sites?
@hpiddy45 Thank you..that's what I thought also....I have been knitting it that way...sure love these videos.I'm wondering how to adjust to thinner sock yarn..how many stitches would I need. I noticed in the store there is such a thing as sock yarn.It's so much thinner so that must mean I need to cast on more stitches right??? is there a conversion chard any where?
I would continue with ribbing all the way up. Ribbing is stretchier, and will fit better around the calves.
on the first row when you slip as if to purl, knit one, slip as if to purl do you have to move the yarn in front when slipping as if to purl on every slip as if to purl stitch between the knit stitch?
i just found this video and loved it.I actually could knit a sock.I have one question about the heal flap.I'm listening to you and you are explaining that you slip as if to Perl .I understand that jet when you start your first row on the heal flap.you say slip as if to knit. I this just a "slip up " or do i actually slip the first stitch as if to knit ??
Yes - here is the answer, from my Frequently Asked Questions page:
Q: Staci, I’d like to modify your pattern to fit other sizes. Can you help me?
A: Most of my patterns and tutorials are designed to teach the skills and techniques you need to knit that item (socks, sweaters, etc.). Once you've finished a tutorial, you have what you need to know to move on to all kinds of similar patterns, available in all sizes. I’m sorry - resizing a pattern is not a quick or simple thing.
After the second row, do we flip it around again to do the slip 1, purl 1, then back again for 4th row, slip 1, purl across?
Where did I go wrong in my eye of partridge pattern? Mine seems to be on the inside of the heel flap, not on the outside as your video shows. Thank you!
Oi, Staci! Eu adoro seus vídeos, sempre me ensinando mais e mais sobre tricô. As meias feitas com sua ajuda são um sucesso aqui onde moro. Faz bastante frio aqui de junho a agosto, então já comecei meu novo cast de meias novas. Você me inspira. Boa sorte!
I'm knitting a pair of socks, and the cuff is going to go up to the knee, sould I keep up the rib, or after a few rows, should I just do regular stockinette?
I just learned today that the heel flap pattern Eye of Partridge is a 4 row repeat that gives almost a seed stitch effect, and that what you are describing (the 2 row repeat) does not appear to have an official name but I have seen it called the heel flap stitch. The lesson is superior no matter what but for accuracy's sake I thought it might be worth making this comment. (Maybe we could christen the 2 row repeat stitch the "bird of paradise" ;-))
Hi! I'm really enjoying your videos! I do have a question, though: I did not learn continental knit and purl; I learned English knit and purl. I was wondering if I need to do anything differently when slipping my stitches?
I am knitting a pair of socks and when I purl every other row, I get garter instead of stockinette and when I knit all rows, I get stockinette, Is that normal on double pointed needles?
Is it normal if your stockinette stitch is just knit stitch but it still gives you the same results... Im not sure why but im just doing garter stitch but getting stockinette
I am finally try socks. This is a great video. If I am using a heavier weight yarn do I need to cast on less? It looks like the opening of the sock is going to be pretty large.
I don't recommend changing the weight of the yarn...if you're working from the written pattern and you have a question, please email me directly for help at staci@verypink.com
I want to make the heel and toe a different color. When should I switch colors? Thanks!
Hi verypinknits. Just purchased your pattern for the sock, wondering how would I increase the size of the sock. I have wide feet but your pattern said for average size. Help!!!,Want to know before starting this new project.
I just completed the 18 row and I've been bringing the yarn to the front in between the knit stitches (on row 1 of the 2 rows) . Will that be a Major problem?
Thank you for the speedy reply. This is my first sock, can't believe I messed it up.
Okay a little confused he first st slk looks like purl you said the first was as if to knit you did not? Is it important to do it knit or not? Thanks
+Terr Bear - please follow the pattern for the most accurate, row-by-row instructions...I demonstrate the techniques in the video, but the pattern will tell you the exact stitches.
I was confused by this too. What you say for the first stitch, as you say knit when you slip as if to purl
I would advise that you simply do exactly what is demonstrated in the videos. I progressed from very basic knitting skills to socks this way.
Can I use this on toe-up? What would I change?
No, not really - not without major modifications. I have many toe-up patterns/tutorials, including one with a heel flap like this. Here is my sock library: verypink.com/category/socks/
I'm Knitting from the knee down, would what you just wrote still apply?
I'm knitting the heel flap like you have instructed and my heel flap does not have the "v" pattern look like yours does. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm confused. Does the working yarn start the on needle 3? Or if that doesn't make sense, does needle 1 (with the 20 stitches) have to working yarn attached to it or is it to the next needle to the right? I can't really tell from the video but I have to guess it is if the pattern starts with a knit row and not a purl
Jordan - if you have questions specific to the pattern in this video, please email me directly at staci@verypink.com for help.
I'm using the sock yarn pattern and I don't know why but on the row where you start k1 p1, the loops that need to be picked up to make the gusset are very loose and on the other side they are ok. Am I doing something wrong? No matter how snug I pull the yarn, when I get to the gusset I end up with holes on that side. I've taken it out 6 times and always the same darn thing. Thanks for any help
+nancy hogan - you might want to knit the heel flap again, and really watch your tension. Since you're having loose edge stitches, really, really pay attention to the first and last stitch of each row.
When slipping as if to purl is the yarn in back? I saw one of your videos that states the default is yarn in back
Unless otherwise stated, you generally want to hold the yarn in the back when slipping a stitch.
You are sooo good. Thank you!
Love this video! Knit my first pair of socks. Question: do you have this same pattern except for fingerling yarn for sale? Looking to make a pair of socks that can fit in a shoe.
Sirena Mazzone - if you visit my Frequently Asked Questions page and look under the header "Socks", I have links to several patterns that use fingering-weight yarn and smaller needles, using the same techniques as my sock tutorials: verypink.com/frequently-asked-questions/
Does each 2 row repeat equal 1 row or 2?
The information is all complete in the pattern: verypink.com/2011/01/13/video-lesson-learn-to-knit-socks/
Wonder how they ever thought to call the heel flap stitches as Eye of Partridge? Just curious
Does row 1 begin on the right side, or wrong side of the cuff? Thanks.
Are you following the written pattern? If so, please email questions on the pattern to me at staci@verypink.com, I'll be glad to help you.
You slipped the first stitch as if to purl and you said slip the first stitch as if to knit what's up with that
I misspoke...it is, however, clear in the pattern.
what size a needle and yarn you are using
Was she knitting while not looking at it?
When I knitted the heel flap - somehow I thought I was on a different row (purl, knit,slip) and ended up with a version of the two - the outside of the heel flap has the eye of partrich, then the purl pattern, yikes! glad I wrote down which one I was working on..... so I wouldnt get messed up. :/ I would never get the stitches picked up right, I really cant see the indiv. stitches that well to slide another needle in. the yarn is a wool blend and it is dark blue. any words of wisdom?
Melissa - you can always pin a clippie marker or safety pin to the right side of the work to keep you from getting confused. Also, a dark colored yarn can make it difficult to see where the stitches are to be picked up. When I need to pick up stitches from dark colored yarn, I always wait and sit close to a window in the daylight, because I know it will be difficult by lamplight!
VeryPink Knits
watched a few videos on ripping out work - got brave and ripped out the stitches (outdoors) got back to my 20 stitches and first row - hooray! now back to work. :)
Oh thank you you are great and I love your video s
I think you made a mistake on 3:26 when you said slip as if to knit. I think you meant to say slip as if to pearl. Your stich you demonstrated looked as if you pearled.
hi i am injoying your videos thanks
Where do I get the pdf
Here you go: verypink.com/2019/08/23/learn-to-knit-socks-update/
Thank you
@dancingirl1998 Sorry - I can't speak Italian, so I can't translate!
Have you tried just knitting every row on heel flap for a denser fabric?
You could do that, but garter stitch would not be as comfortable against the skin.
can you translate this to italian
4 ply knit sock is what the wool is sold as
oh thank you.... i got worried for a while there
You say "Slip the first stitch as if to knit" but you slip it as if to purl" In the pattern you don't say. Since you do the rest as "slip to purl I'm going with "purl."

why am here i dont know :) but i like it :3
