Toe Up Socks - Learn to Knit Toe Up Socks - Tippy Toes Toe Up Socks - Sock Knitting - Step By Step

If you want to learn how to knit Toe Up Socks, this video is the perfect starting point.

In this video I show you step-by step how to knit a Toe Up Sock, using a circular needle and the magic loop method. I'll be knitting English Style with the yarn in my right hand and the sock I'm making is a UK adult size 4 - 5, starting at the toes, using Judy's Magic Cast-On, then has a German Short Row Heel and finishes with a nice stretchy cast off.

I'll be taking you through every step of the way as I knit my sock, but if you need a little more help, I also have in-depth videos on every technique used and will add the links along the way in the video and list them below.

There is a printable PDF version of the pattern that can be purchased on Ravelry and will soon be available on Etsy. The pattern uses all the same techniques demonstrated in this video, but includes the following foot sizes:

UK adult shoe size 3, (Eau 36).
UK adult shoe size 4-5, (Eau 37-38).
UK adult shoe size 6, (Eau 39).
UK adult shoe size 7-8, (Eau 40-41).

The pattern is available on Ravelry at:

I"m using a 100 gram ball of sock yarn and a 2.5mm (80cm length) circular needle and making a sock to fit a UK size 4-5 foot (37-38 European sizing).

Please never erase this video, you are a good teacher for the German Short Row. Thank you.

Thanks for such an informative instruction video, my 2024 resolution- Try knitting Toe up socks, I think it will be much easier than the
Heel flap and gusset cuff down style once I get used to it, my motto is - you are never too old to learn new techniques

[donnaokeefe]

You have explained magic loop technique the best I have ever seen. I sure wish your video was out when I was trying to learn this. Best training video ever !!! Thank you.

Having been an knitter for well over 55 years and vowing NEVER to knit socks, I was inspired by Sammy’s sock and purchased your pattern and with the help of your easy to understand video tutorial ………I’ve knitted a sock! Very pleased with the result. The magic loop, German short rows and stretchy cast-off are all absolutely brilliant. Thanks x

[lindasunderland]

I just found your video. Fantastic! I followed your instructions, knitting with you (not the fast bits) and I am so happy with my first toe up sock. I bought your pattern from Ravelry so I can go ahead and make the second sock. Thank you again for the brilliant video.

Wendy, I’ve recently been watching lots of knitting tutorials showing socks and hoping I’ll be ready soon to try making my first pair. Although I’ve enjoyed viewing several other accounts and their videos yours has been the most helpful to me. I love how you take your time to show each step in the process. I’m feeling more confident about taking the plunge. Thank you! ❤

[ceslynwolfe]

you make it look so simple. I could not understand German short rows until i met you. You are a great teacher. .

I am so pleased to have stumbled o❤❤❤nto your channel! Been searching for a good UK illustration on socks and this is by far the best. Thank you. ❤

As a person who has ADHD I have been losing my concentration in the knitting of socks. I can't remember what I did at the beginning of the row for inc/dec. Frustrating..yes. 😢 This tutorial is so explanatory and understandable, I can knit along and not make mistakes. 😊 I used to knit socks but stopped because my brain goes to 'broken' mode and confuses itself, so I gave up socks and did only simple stitch garments. Now I can do this again and quite look forward to it as this my preferred style starting at toe. Thank you for making this video. 🎉🎉🎉

Hello Wendy, a great video. I've knitted a few pairs of sock but it's between other projects, then I forget how to do it. One thing I've noticed watching your video or I've missed it was the side gusset. I found your video so much easier. I have a liking to do two at a time as I have the one knitted sock problem not doing the second one!!! Eager to start next projects. Thank-you. I've brought your pattern and just started your socks doing two at a time. I will let you know how I get on.

At what point did you switch from using the front needle to knit to using back needle? Using the back needle is making my pearl looking stitches on the outside of my sock.

[rubypickles]

This was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much. Can you tell me what the purple, pink and green yarn you used for the socks in the thumb nail? It's fantastic.
