This is a very detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to knit socks toe-up. I tried to incorporate all the little choices you have along the way and how to adjust things so you get socks that fit. I also picked a toe and heel pattern that is very versatile yet easy to knit.
I created this toe-up sock knitting pattern myself, even though it is of course based on everything all the generations before me did.

One thing I really appreciate about your beginner tutorials is that you don’t just teach the pattern itself, but also skills that can be applied to any pattern, especially when it comes to adjusting patterns to your own measurements

I am new to knitting and no matter how many tutorials I watch, I always come back to yours. They are by far the most detailed ones. I especially appreciate that you explain WHY you do the things you do, it makes it so much easier for me to understand how knitting actually works. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your tutorials.

Norman, I have been knitting socks for four years, so don’t watch too many sock knitting videos anymore, but you have become my go to Knitting resource for finding the best and neatest ways to do specific techniques so I watched this one to see if I would learn anything new. I am doing your KLL and KRL increases for the gussets in my current socks and they look beautiful. Thanks so much for all you do! Kathy

Socks and sweaters have always eluded me. It's so easy to understand and your lighting makes it easy to see what your doing. I've never used the skl stitch before, but it's so much easier then any other stitch I've tried. Thank you for your hard work. ❤❤❤
