Two-at-a-Time Cuff Down Socks | Part 2 Cast On and Magic Loop

In this tutorial I show how I knit my 2AAT Cuff Down Socks using magic loop. To make it easier to follow along with I split this step-by-step tutorial into 4 videos. The downloadable pattern is available at the end of this description box. There is ribbing down the leg of the sock and on the top side of the foot.

This tutorial is split into 4 videos:
• Video 1: Materials and dividing yarn for two-at-a-time socks
• Video 2: Casting on two-at-a-time cuff down socks and working magic loop
• Video 3: Heel flap and turn for two-at-a-time top down socks
• Video 4: Toe decreases and kitchener stitch for two-at-a-time socks

Check out my other crafting tutorials and patterns on my website!

Materials Used:
• 1 Skein fingering weight sock yarn - shown in the Mermaid Toots colorway by Cat Sandwich Fibers
• 2 stitch markers (additional 2 are optional)
• Tapestry needle

Very clear and concise instructions. Thank you!

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial on how to knit two at a time, magic loop. Your method of casting onto double pointed needles and transferring to the circular needle made this so easy. That’s always been the hardest part for me. I’m only about four rows into the ribbing so I haven’t done the heel turn and gusset but will watch those tutorials later. Thank you so much!

You are terrific. Easy to follow and crystal clear. I have watched many You Tube videos to choose the best on that subject to save. I love your video and will follow it knowing that I will be successful. Thanks.

Great tutorial for two socks at a time! I hadn't found any similar demonstration for a long time and I am very happy I came across yours!

What a well-explained and demonstrated video! Thank you! I am ready to start my magic-loop 2AAT socks!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’ve watched so many taat tutorials and been so confused/lost/unhappy with the way the casting on was done, you made it the easiest to understand! ....Tara

Hi thank you…i could not remember how i knitted socks two at a time. Other videos have different methods but your method is the same as mine. :)

Is it possible to cast on 1/2 of one sock then ALL of other sock, then 2nd Half of first sock. The pulling the cord from the middle of the 2nd sock cast on?

Excellent tutorial! Just out of curiosity, why do you shift the knit 3 purl 1 pattern by 2 stitches (as in why start with knit 1 purl 1 and end w knit 2)? Thanks!
