HOW TO KNIT SOCKS FOR BEGINNERS USING THE TOE UP MAGIC LOOP METHOD // EASY TO REMEMBER INCREASES
I wanted to share a quick video tutorial with you covering how I cast on and increase for my Toe Up Socks using the Magic Loop Method. This is a how to knit socks tutorial perfect for beginners! If you've never knit a sock before, that's ok!
In this video, I'll show you how to cast on for a sock using the Turkish Cast On (my favorite!) and get ready to increase the toe. I don't know about you, but I can't stand M1L or M1R so I've started doing a YO increase - it makes it so easy!
Written instructions can be found in My Go-To Simple Toe Up Sock Guide found on Ravelry or my website! bit.ly/2I8ygo6

Hey guys! If you found this video helpful, I'd love to see your results! Drop your ravelry names below! xx Allison 😘

@sharle6 5 лет назад

Just found this video and I am trying to learn how to knit socks in the first place. I think I found your cast on much easier than the traditional magic loop. I personally don't like using my tail for casting on. I always have a fear that I am going to have to start over on my cast on because I don't have enough tail even though if I did it correctly in my measurements of how long I need my tail to me then I won't have that issue lol. But that is always the issue correctly doing your measurements lol. So yeah, not a fan of the long tail cast on either lol. Anyway, I also loved the fact that you knit your tail in instead of having to weave it in later. I have also just subscribed and hit the little bell because I did like this video and I do want to see more from you. I am going to check your channel playlist to see if you have the heal and gusset tutorial on here as well. If you don't then I would love to see more of that. I am a visual learner so reading a pattern doesn't make sense to me until I see it done lol. BTW my Ravelry name is CraftySharleen

@artonawhimsy3776 5 лет назад

artonawhimsy would like to see your favorite heel

@LoftyLoopsYarns 5 лет назад

@@sharle6 Thank you for the feedback and for subscribing! I don't have a heel flap and gusset tutorial yet, but I did create one for cut-in afterthought heels. A gusset video is next on my to-do list!

@susanhernandez7770 5 лет назад

Suzsews on Ravelry. Loved your increases, much easier than M1.

@susieinthecountry4434 5 лет назад

yes I would like a video on heels. In your opinion, which is the most sturdy/longlasting heel? German short heel fits my heel better than the others. Looking forward to your thoughts/video on this subject. thanks for explaining magic loop.

@pamsorenson2203 2 года назад

I have spent three days on the Internet trying to figure out the easiest way to add stitches to the toe up stock. This is the only video I could do right off the bat. Thank you 1 million times, I guess I’m not crazy after all!

@thethriftychickadee7245 Год назад

Sometimes you don't know which video is gonna be the one that finally works for you, but for me, this was the one!! I have been on a determined journey to knit socks and this video finally allowed me to get past the cast on, first couple rows, some increases, etc. Don't know why it clicked for me seeing you do it, but it did and boy am I glad! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

@venuscode1 5 лет назад

Please do a tutorial for the rest of the sock. This is the only cast on I’ve been able to understand and it works! Thanks.

@christygillis2663 Месяц назад

You are a life saver, tried several times to do a top down sock, this is MUCH EASIER!! Ty sooo soooo much!!

@classykathy1 5 лет назад

Yes I also am new to making socks and would love a video on how to do the complete sock. So far this has been the only video I have really be able to understand. Thank you in advance.

@ericasuperman8 2 года назад

Great video. Make another with two at a time. Like the colour

@reiningercg 5 лет назад

This video is super helpful! I wanted to try toe up knitting and yours was to the point and clear. The YO increases are liquid gold, you are a genius!

@Christine-xh5og 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for showing how to do THE best way to knit toe up socks that works for me! Makes it more enjoyable for me to start another pair of socks without any hesitation 🩷

@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539 3 месяца назад

I watched again.. I love the toe up I am liking two at a time.. no lonely socks.

@Caligrlknits Год назад

Yes I need instructions for the rest of the sock. Thank you

@rosslynnoziska4959 Год назад

I’ve been struggling with Judi’s magic cast on for months and the simplified a tow up suck cast on so much easier for me. Since I have a inability to follow directions. I guess we’re complete directions. This was so easy. Thank you so much.. Also, I really do appreciate the Yarn over idea instead of make one whatever that is really simplified it for me. Thank you so much.

@Rosa-mb5yp Год назад

I have been so intimidated about knitting socks but desperately want to learn, crochet socks hurt my sensitive feet. The tutorial for Turkish cast on using your method is very clear. I am looking forward to binge watching your instructions🤗...yes I would love a tutorial on the entire sock because you are a great teacher, thank you!

@litabilotti7169 5 месяцев назад

Hi Allison. I had just ripped out the toes of socks that I had started, 5 times. Luckily, I found you! I am now on my way knitting TAAT toe up socks! I am using Knitter’s Pride needles; US 1.5/2.5mm, 47”/120cm. They are a little long but they are what I had. I am using Regia Garcia Color 4-ply yarn. Your cast on and yarn over increases are a complete game changer for me. Now, as long as I don’t drop any stitches or worse, I think that I will be successful. I also think that if I should forget to do a yarn over, I can easily do one on the next round by lifting the bar below. Sweet! Thank you so very much!

@beckydrake1007 4 года назад

This tutorial is soooo good. I have knitted socks for years but never toe up because they were "too hard". Now, I am thinking about doing nothing but toe up. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for making this tutorial.

@chi2cali 6 лет назад

Finally got around to working socks again. I really like your cast on and increase method here. Thanks for the video!

@beverlyhess611 4 года назад

I’d like to see how you continue to work up the sock, please! Thanks!

@Piaknits 5 лет назад

I love the increase of a simple YO. Brilliant!

@iearthgirl 5 лет назад

This is a game chsnger!!! Absolutely brilliant. What a great way to keep tract of increases. Yay!! Thank you so much :)

@debrahjaeckel5242 5 лет назад

Really great tutorial. I've been trying to make toe up socks FOREVER and this is the first method that makes sense to me. Thank you Deb J

@TrickyNight24 5 лет назад

Fantastic new YO tips I hadn’t used b4! Would love to see you complete the sock as well.

@tamarafaurot 4 года назад

Okay. So I’m officially done with Judy’s cast on and M1’s. This is awesome and brings back the fun in toe boxes. Thank you!

@jazz96mar 6 лет назад

I found this video very helpful, this is the 3rd video one I watched and now it makes sense to me. Thank you, you were very thorough.

@maryboyea1267 4 года назад

I would love to see a video on how you do the German short rows for the heal!

@michellesetzer9366 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I just learned this in a sock class last night but could not remember now that I am home. After several other videos, yours helped me get it right again. Thank you!!

@spindleswift8667 4 года назад

Great tip about knitting in the tail! I mean REALLY GREAT!

@melmack2003 5 лет назад

For knitters with second sock syndrome, do your items in 'tandem'....that is, knit the toe of one, the toe of the second etc. That way they are finished about the same time. You will need two sets of needles and two balls, but it's a great way to work without the hot mess of everything on one long needle, especially if you're travelling. Thanks!

@gailferrara1185 5 лет назад

I just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching me how to knit socks 🧦 I’m so happy I could die thank you ☺️

@heathersdiamondpaintingand447 6 лет назад

I'm new to sock knitting and although I haven't had a problem with the l&r increase, this seems so much easier and quicker. Thank you for showing this and I would love to see how you do the heels.

@thecatmont 5 лет назад

I think this is the clearest explanation I've watched so far, good job and lovely yarn

@LoftyLoopsYarns 5 лет назад

Thank you! That means a great deal to hear! 💗💗

@SusanJane-it8hi 7 месяцев назад

I LOVE your treatment of the YO's. What an excellent way to make a stitch. Thank you

@gayathriramdas4342 3 года назад

Thank You Very Much 💕 Do inform me of your forthcoming videos. Would love to see you knit and complete the socks.

@MamainaManse 6 лет назад

That was so interesting! There are so many ways for socks!

@susanharris-rohde1127 6 лет назад

I like your increases. I need to try this. I get scattered at times because I too like watching TV, movies, and most often my socks are my travel projects. 💚

@shymoment 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. You have made magic loop for socks so much easier than I had been trying to do with little success. I have tried magic loop several times and while I came out with a pair of socks I really didn't like how the toes looked. This is so much easier.

@PinkPanther70 5 лет назад

I will never knit socks I any other WAY again . You are great at explaining what you are doing. Thank you so much!

@ummsalamah7711 5 лет назад

U r a lifesaver!!! Yes whole sock!!

Thank you 💟!!! Do inform me about your future videos

@viggy882 6 лет назад

I like this method so much better than any other cast on for toe up socks! Thanks for making this video thorough, easy to follow, at a good pace for learning, and at the same time, concise. You seem to have made the PERFECT video!!

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear! 💖

@pekkaT13 4 года назад

Very interesting. Will print instructions soon. Thank you.

@donnazappala7738 5 лет назад

Allison!!! Your method of teaching is AWESOME! I have tried SEVERAL YT videos to learn how to make socks and I fail EVERYTIME! I'm going to try your method - it seems to be easier than DPNs etc or small Chiaogoo needles. Thanks for the inspiration! Merry Christmas!

@TheeMattSmith 4 года назад

Great video, this was extremely helpful. We loved how you said it was “fiddley” In fact we named our cat Fiddley 🧶

@janetbalding5197 Год назад

Thankyou your video was really helpful and easy to follow I would love to see your video on how to knit the heel and which method you prefer

@beehumblewithmevicky2792 4 года назад

I just wanted to thank you and tell you this has worked brilliantly for me so far and I wanted to know if you would do a video for the heel . I read your blog post and down loaded the pattern but I dont full understand it and what is a way to fix holes. I think it's the yarn but its good yarn I paid 20.00 for a skein of it. Hard to believe I'm knitting a 20.00 pair of Sox but that I am thank you I've struggled and this is brilliant! Love the video dont know if I fully understand the yarn over though. Thanks again please do one for your heel!

@marywilkinson8975 4 года назад

Yes I would love to see you do the whole sock. Can you do a video on two at a time for up with magic loop?

@dpinto735 4 года назад

Have to try it, Thanks👍

@bujiknits 4 года назад

would love if you could show a german short row heel on your toe up sox?! you explain things so easily!!

@glendabathgate2088 5 лет назад

Great help thank you

@orkitgal 4 года назад

Seeing more of how you do socks would be great.

@lindachandler2293 2 года назад

I use the toe up method when I'm afraid I'll run out of yarn, but I don't like casting off almost as much as I don't like the Kitchener stitch, so top down is my pick.

@vickifenlon2235 2 года назад

Yes, please finish the sock tutorial! I'm working on my very first sock…xx

@danawouster155 4 года назад

Did you ever make a heel video? You made it so easy to follow this video I want to finish my 1st sock with you thanks

@barbaraivey1794 6 лет назад

Thank you for this great tutorial. It is very helpful!!! Would love to see how you make the heel! Can’t wait to try this increase out!!!

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

You're welcome! I'll record the heel process as soon I work my way up the foot. Glad you found this video helpful. 🤗

@ccam504 4 года назад

I've been knitting socks for a long time but never tried the Turkish cast on. I think that will be my new go-to cast on, easier. Really like your video, instructions are easy to follow! Thanks!!

@kdquinn556 4 года назад

Please show us more! So many great tips,and you are so easy to follow! Keep teaching us!

@amandayeatts7100 3 года назад

Thanks for this! I have been battling with the loop, and I keep frogging and walking away. This seems doable! Cheers Lady!

@theresaatkinson6628 5 лет назад

Yes, do a heel demo.😀

@DreamingOfAlaska 6 лет назад

Loved that tutorial, can’t wait to try the Turkish cast on, will you do a video on how you knit heels?

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

Glad you found it helpful! I plan on doing a video as soon as I reach the heel on one of my numerous sock works-in-progress! ☺️

@annpiggott4027 2 года назад

Do you have a video on this sock with a fleegle heel and all the way to finishing the cuff, Thanks!

@angiesusi9891 3 года назад

Hi Allison, I like using this method as well because I dont have to strain my dyes to see what row I'm on. I don't know where I learned this, not sure if it was in a sock pattern or your video.

@xivycometx 6 лет назад

Thank you for showing your way of increasing! I do all my socks magic loop toe up (one at a time though I don’t like how I can’t keep my sides neat for two at a time I think my cable stretches them too much) I am going to try the yarn over way of increases on my next pair and see what I think :).

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

You're welcome! Let me know what you think once you try it out!

@xivycometx 6 лет назад

Lofty Loops Yarns I really enjoyed it! I just started my second sock using the yarn over increases on it too! Thanks again for the tip! Much easier to keep up with my increase row.

@Catherine-cv1hj 5 лет назад

Oh this is great. Many thanks. Please show us how you do the rest of your toe up socks. 👍

@gilliantherese7202 4 года назад

Yes, I found this tutorial helpful, but do you have a tutorial for toe up double points? I would love to see the sock worked up, heel & all. If time permits. Thank you for sharing. :-)

@cherylcrawfordski6770 3 года назад

@lostsoul495 6 лет назад

@samanthanicholson9015 2 года назад

Yea please show us how to do the heels, thanks 😊

@stevenpanfil5165 3 года назад

At about 8:40, you knit through the back loop to turn the yarnover into an extra stitch... and this is where I stop progressing LOL (but I am veryy new to knitting). Do you have any close-up videos of just that part or any tips? No matter how I try it, I just end up with a mess. Thanks for the rest of the video though! This was the clearest on instructions, visuals, and the easiest method I have found thus far.

@shelly5596 3 года назад

That's was interesting, I might have to give it a try. So you don't use a marker to show the begining before you start the increases? Have you tried Judy's Magic cast on to see how it compares? It would be very helpful to watch videos on the rest of the sock.

@karencompton4851 6 лет назад

That’s exactly how I knit my toe up socks💕 it was a little fiddly when I learned but now it’s second nature💕 thanks for sharing. I’d love to see how you make your heels. I’ve only used the Fleegle heel since that fits me beautifully and I don’t have to pick up stitches😂😂 I’m just really intimidated by other heels.

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

Hi Karen! Glad you enjoyed the video and that we have something in common! I will post a video on the heels as soon as I work my way up the foot of the sock! Have you tried the Fish Lips Kiss heel?

@karencompton4851 6 лет назад

Lofty Loops Yarns no I have only used the Fleegle heel - no w&t, picking up stitches or holes. It a sturdy heel which I love.

@LoftyLoopsYarns 6 лет назад

I haven't tried the Fleegle Heel, but I'll add it to my list for next time!

@karencompton4851 6 лет назад

@bxgal347 6 лет назад

Yes new subby, I can't for the life of me learn how to make socks and I know once I learn I'll b knitting socks and scarves only!!! Please do videos on heels on socks and all the way up to cuff ty!! Xo

@Caligrlknits 5 лет назад

Yes yes please Finnish the sock for us I love all you are doing trying so hard to learn to knit socks. Thanks in advance for considering finishing the job

@stephiehellyeah2557 4 года назад

Great tutorial! Can you use this method for TAAT? 💖

@LoftyLoopsYarns 4 года назад

Absolutely!!

@lisalind4813 2 года назад

Thanks for an easy to understand video. Many others talk slow and say the same thing over and over, to the point I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or if it's gone on without me, leaving me very confused

@LoftyLoopsYarns 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful!

@tammygoodale6231 4 года назад

A whole sock tutorial would be helpful. Ty.

@ek3526 4 года назад

brilliant. I'm using the yo trick for the gusset of my toe ups. but - im mirroring the yo so I can knit the back then knit the front in the next round mimicking the m1l and m1r. Love this trick!so much easier to keep on track. Ravelry: betheory

@lisaanderson1065 Год назад

I'd like to see the way you do heels on toe up socks. This is my first attempt at them.

@elenaspinelli3921 5 лет назад

Yes please do more videos on continuing with socks!

@rosslynnoziska4959 Год назад

I love the Turkish Cast On better than Judy’s magic castanets so much easier, and so much the same results

@sheilabartley869 4 года назад

Please do the rest of the socks ur video was the only one i could do so please come back and do the rest of the sock

@azarlohrasbpour8837 5 лет назад

Hello, I have knitted a bunch of toe up socks with the magic loop co, and then increasing every other row. I never liked the trapezoid toe shapes. I once came across a video that showed how to do a rounded toe. I can’t fid the video again. Was it one of yours? Do you have a pattern for a rounded toe?

@LoftyLoopsYarns 5 лет назад

I do not have a pattern for the rounded toe, but I believe (I could be totally wrong on this so don't quote me!) you can do the same increases, but instead of increasing every other round, you'd rapidly increase instead. I found this free pattern on Ravelry that might help! Good luck! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seam-free-rounded-toe-for-a-toe-up-sock

@lyndabaillargeon4955 4 года назад

Hi, i'm so happy to have learn to increase my socks this way makes it much more easy for me to know when its time to increase or not. Thank you so much and Happy New Year 2020!!

@beckydrake1007 4 года назад

How do I do the TOE part so it looks like a toe. In the video we have flat then not. How do you get to NOT?

@bsfb3ar 3 года назад

What a life saver. It took me for ever to cast with magic loop I keep mess it up got confused the down up or up down the yarn. T. How do you determine how many stitches for you to cast on for toe up and how many rows to increase, do I increase every row or every other rows? Thanks fo much for sharing.

@LoftyLoopsYarns 3 года назад

Glad it helped! The number to cast on is personal preference and has a lot to do with your foot size. I typically cast on 14 or 16 stitches, then increase every other row.

@bsfb3ar 3 года назад

Much appreciated for your super speed response.Thanks a lo.@@LoftyLoopsYarns

How to knit the round toes socks.☺️

@melissa99435 11 месяцев назад

I have been trying to knit socks for many years and never get past the toe. I’ve been doing the Judy’s and it’s like I get a ladder after a few rows. This was so simple to cast on & love the yarn overs, I was trying a basic KFB as my increases. I keep getting what looks like a ladder on each side after I get my cast on & starting my increases. Is this normal & do they tighten up as I continue to knit up the doing my increases. 😮???

@LoftyLoopsYarns 11 месяцев назад

So glad this helped! Ladders usually happen when the yarn doesn’t have enough tension when moving to the next needle. Try giving the yarn an extra tug during the first 2 stitches on the new needle.
