🔔 Hi friends! One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that when you’re choosing a yarn, look for a wool or wool/acrylic blend (at least 50/50 if not higher wool content).

Avoid 100% acrylic as acrylic does not stretch well or wick away moisture like wool does. Avoid one-ply yarns as these are too delicate to handle the hard-wearing nature of socks. Choose at least a 3-ply yarn. Ok end of lesson 😅

Happy knitting!

I'm so happy you've added a sock knitting tutorial!

I started knitting 9 months ago and your channel was the best channel I came across. You are such a wonderful teacher. You essentially taught me how to knit. Thank you!! 😊

[joanneboag]

I'm always so happy to see new videos from you, Davina!! 😄

[TourniQueTQ]

OMG, I was SO waiting for a beginners sock knitting guide from you! <3 Thank you so much!

[adgurl]

You’re so brave for sharing your story…I usually FFWD pass the imbedded ads, yours really connected with me because I too turned to crocheting and knitting to help soothe me but sometimes it’s not enough. Thank you for the recommendation and also I too have been waiting FOREVER for you to make a beginner sock video. I so love all your videos. And I bought the pattern. Thank you ❤🙏🏾🧶

[marytreu]

Your videos are therapeutic.. you have helped me many MANY times. Thank you 😊

[carolozbolt]

Fantastic instruction! I’ve knitted a lot of socks and wish that I could’ve learned this from you instead of a book. Much easier!

I have been knitting for many years, but am always looking for new patterns & stitches. Came across your videos when looking for a pattern for a twisted headband. After viewing some of your videos I absolutely love how easy it is to follow your instructions. You have made me excited to try new stitches & to love knitting again. Thank you!

I am so happy that you finally made a how to knit a sock video! I love how you explain things and socks have been my arch enemy when it comes to knitting. Thank you.

[Squishbiscuits]

You are the best knitting teacher. I always share your tutorials to anyone who sees me knitting and wants to try it for themselves. ❤

[danbev]

Really good tutorial, thank you! I like your little drawn graphs to keep your rounds & rows straight. Excellent explanations, camera work and having the written instructions on screen helps keep things very clear.

I love your videos! Thank you! I've never done socks, beanies or cables. I'm too afraid of DP needles and cable holders!

Love this video! You are the most thorough knitting instructor on the web. One question- I’m all thumbs with multiple DPNs - can circular be used for socks?
