This is my go to heel and it is really easy once you try it. I use circular needles because the double points just don’t work for me. Thank y’all so much for posting this video.
It looks so easy when Arne is doing it.
Love this method! I use 2 circulars and voilà! A sock!
Addi Crazy trio's even easier!!! You already divided you stiches in two from te beginning😊
This kind of heel is what many people picture when they think of a Christmas stocking. If you use cotton yarn for the scrap yarn, it's easier to remove than if you use wool yarn.
You guys are old-style craftsmen, generously sharing your skills with the world. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for your videos, they're great.

Almost finished with my first knit project ever! Socks for my 1 year old son! Thank you Carlos and Arne!
Brittany Dawn. I'm so impressed. I am a 'beginner', again, and didn't have the courage to try the multiple needles journey to making socks. You have encouraged me. I think it's time to gather the supplies together and give it a try. I'd love to hear more about your experience.
Love how your yarn knits up! Thanks for sharing, especially doing the heel demo as that has always been a mystery to me. Look at Jenny’s magic cast in to avoid having to sew the toe together on toe up socks. Really cool! Can’t wait for more in KnitStars3.0!
That was great , I love those socks ,and I think you just took my anxiety about trying to knit socks away ! thank you for showing this :)
This is old style yarnery. You don't see much of that anymore, the technics are awesome. Wish I knew how to do that. Love watching you guys.
Thank you for watching Peach!
Thank you for sharing your vlogmas with us, I sincerely enjoyed watching each day!.. Merry Christmas and looking forward to next year already, lol. Happy New Year also! ❄️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for adding this video. It adds so much to the first one!
You are welcome Sue!
wow, thanks so much! you've made this look incredibly easy! this definitely goes into the weekend bucket list. I luv socks!
This was great to see how you do an afterthought heel. I have been wanting to try it but wasn't sure how you do all the steps. Thank you so much! I am enjoying all of your tutorials :)
Love the yarn you guys designed with Regia, and I love this sock-- knitting the heel at the end. I'll have to give it a go sometime! Love your videos
After many attempts to knit socks, finally I got it with your tutorial. What a pity I can't upload here a picture. Thank you.
Guys, I really admire you ❤️ 😍
Very nice video tutorial!
I will press with an iron to set the stitches, pulled out the red yarn and picked up with smaller needles. Knit with correct size needles all around. Works up quick.
Thank you so much for the follow up.
I love your videos...! can't wait to make such a beautiful socks like you make!
that's pretty cool ! Thank's for this video !
THIS BY FAR THE BEST, THE FASTEST AND EASIEST.
👍🏻
Brilliant. Thank you x
OMG that’s magic, I have never seen that done before, thank you.
Interesting style of knitting too. I am a Brit in France and it always amuses the locals when I knit, apparently, I am a “flicker”. Just found you on You Tube, glad I did!
This looks like a great way to make the heel, I need to go buy your pattern now. Thank you for this tutorial.
You are welcome Lori!
I nevr realized u put the stitches on 3 Dpns to work the heel
Ilove it !!! thanks
I WATCH UR VIDEOS LIKE Some people watch movies
I could watch you two knitting all day.
Thank you!
Ok Guys I am knitting the hell of the nisse Christmas stocking now YAY‼️💜‼️‼️💜
Oops heel ‼️❤️‼️
😂
Works both ways!
Have you ever tried casting off the heel stitches then casting on again, leaving a gaping hole while you finish the sock? Then go back and pick up the cast off and cast on stitches onto four needles and knit your heel. Heels always wear out first. This allows me to replace them neatly. The round before the cast off I change to next size needle up for easier pick up, or simply knit them looser.
OMGosh! Enlightenment! I never thought of that. I'll never abandon a sock with worn heel again! Thank you!
Is this what some people call the “afterthought heel”??
I have thought of this but I have never tried it.
I'd like to see a video of what you are saying.
Would love to see one of you try on the socks.
Thanks to you both. Great 😊
What a good idea, thank you for sharing this. Now to try it!
Go for it!
I made this sock and it turned out great! But, taking out that thread was really REALLY difficult. I'm making my second sock, and I am going to do something a little different: I am going to place 2 "rescue lines" using wool thread on each row next to the heel marker. I am then going to remove the heel marker and pick up my stitches on the rescue thread. I hope that will be easier - I'll let you know how that goes!
I have been apprehensive to try an after-thought heel...I don't know where to put it :/ ...so I will look at your blog to see if that is explained there. You, Gentlemen, are encouraging me to explore the craft more so. Thank you :)
Yey! I was wondering if u were gonna show this! I also tried to look to order yarn but couldnt
lovely!
Wonderful video!
Two things:
1) Would the k2tog be balanced better by ssk on the other side of the row?
2) Instead of the red row, could you use waxed line or a ravel cord to make pulling the line easier?
Thank you for great help for your blog. I will go check out your blog. How the weather there. Here in Indiana we have the cold but no snow. They don"t know how drive in it. Lol Guys take care of yourself. Your friends in USA. :)
Arne & Carlos, I truly enjoy your videos and review them again and again to solidify knowledge. I do have a question about the afterthought heel. Would it be possible to knit Arne's Scandinavian Heel? I realize it would not match the toe so would it be possible to knit the toe the same way? Essentially a variation still using Scandinavian styling.
I am so very happy to find your channel.i gave up knitting my sock (breezyfox2) on instergram , but with your amazing help I will now start again and can knit socks after all for my family. I Hugh thank you.
Please can you do a full step by step tutorial for beginners showing both Continental and British style knitting for someone who is anxious about knitting her first pair of socks. I knit the British way so when you knit Continental it confuses me even though I find your videos very helpful and straightforward if that makes any sense. Thanks.
My question with knitting toe up and the afterthought heel is -- how to measure how far to knit the foot before placing the marker yarn for the heel. Is there a chart somewhere that would give that information? I can't always try the sock on the recipient's foot. LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!
Thanks!
You are welcome!
As I'm typing this my question is sounding more and more unnecessary! :) But here it is anyway. Instead of using the marking yarn for the heel which I'm assuming is what makes it easy, can you just knit the heel? Love your videos and using 5 DPN it is my favorite way.
Your socks are "To Die For", but they still seem too hard for me. Keep on taping, I love to watch you guys!!
Maybe you should give them a go! You don't really know if it is too hard, if you never try...
excellent
Thank you!❤
Hello Guys...thanks for sharing your great work
Does that yarn work up that way or are you changing colors?
I still can't manage multiple needles like that, my sock are always done on circulars using the magic loop method. However, I shall have another attempt by following your tutorial. I will persist until I can do it! :-)
I"ve found for me it is easier to use wood or bamboo double points. They do not slip out of the work as metal ones do.
It would be nice if you could design a yarn that automatically places a contrasting yarn where the heel goes and you just keep knitting. You would have to have different sizes though I guess. Beautiful yarn by the way!
I would like to know the bind off you used for the 2 by 2 ribbing? Looks better than others I have seen.
Thank you for great advice on UA-cam for the sock. I'm teaching my self on knitting the sock. I really want do this on circular knitting needle. Right now I"m knitting dolls clothing on bbamboo circular needle. It need to know what size knitting needles do you use for the sock you have knitted. I enjoy watching the both of you guys. I learned alots from you , I do crochet have made slippers.
Thank you again.
Hi Emily, if you visit the blog on our site you will be able to read more about them.
OK........I've watched again, and it looks as if once you picked up the stitches and removed the place-holding-marker and began knitting........Arne knitted in the BACK of the stitch? Then on succeeding rows he knit in the front of the stitch as you normally do? Can you clarify or explain?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hola señores como están bendiciones ?me en canta la combinación de la lana 👋
Arne and Carlos...I Ha e always knit socks cuff down but wanted to try yours. Would you please tell me where the heel starts when looking at the bottom of the foot? I’m lost there.
Ok, I am intrigued with Arne's picking technique and trying to learn it. My hands are still very clumsy but I'm confident I will get into the swing of things soon. Arne-I noticed in this video when you began the heel, after removing the marker line-you knitted from the back of the stitch, then switched to the front of the stitch on succeeding rows. Can you explain why you did it like this please?
its because the stitches went on leaning the pearl way from picking up the stitches and then you just knit from the back to create the stitch leaning the knit way
How do you keep your tension in your left hand? I can't see how you are holding the yarn.
I am curious why you would not be concerned about slanting left and slanting right decreases to shape the toe? I always thought you had to to ask AND K2tog to get the proper slant? Would love any comments from anyone on this, I guess I could just try it with only K2tog and see how it shapes? I love you both, you have a wonderful presence that is so soothing and you make it easy to learn.
You guys should start a yarn line!
Looks easier than German short rows..scary to pull out that red thread! Fo u ever do socks with magic loop 2 at a time?
We do not but we know some of our viewers do
For some reason I keep getting unsubbed?? I just re-subbed again. Thank you! Now with quarantine I have time to learn socks. I’ve been crocheting many Year’s but only recently started knitting. Thank you from New Mexico. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
I admire everything you do and so nicely show us... but this i dont find as easiest stock in the world :D I find the old fasioned german heel as easiest , may be i am wrong
Each to their own
Hi, You don't mention it but it looks to me like you're picking up the left legs and then knitting through the back, I know it produces the same result but is there a reason you do it that way instead of just picking up the right leg and knitting through front? Other afterthought heel tutorials seem to instruct to pick up right leg. Just wondering if it makes a difference in your knitting or if it's easier that way or if it doesn't matter and you would do it either way. Thanks!
Buongiorno dopo la riga rossa come faccio a riprendere a lavorare con il filo che ho lasciato in sospeso sul primo ferro dato che mi trovo sul terzo ferro? Grazie
On some rows, it looked as if Arne was knitting in the BACK of the stitch, but when he demonstrated the decrease for the heel, he knitted in the FRONT of the stitch. I'm confused?
when you pick up the stitches they will be the wrong way round. By knitting in the back of the stitches on the first round you are putting them the right way round. Then you continue to work as normal. Hope that makes sense
can you tell me about part 1 of the sock pattern and the wool your using please, many thanks Barry
Hi Barry, the wool is our own brand. You can find it by following the link in the description, it will take you to our website. To see the first video go to our UA-cam page and find that there. Good luck!
ARNE & CARLOS thankyou both for getting back to me so quickly, have been looking at you videos and they are amazing to watch. You have inspired me to get knitting again, especially the sock videos, Barry
I cannot tell which is under and which is upper during the process?? You said something about where is enlarges on toe you do the decreasing same side (? "toe pointing same as heel"?), but they both look like flat triangles to me. What am I missing? Please explain. Tks ahead! How do you do the closing of holes? Do you have video?

Wonderful! Want to do it... but... I am far from to be your size. I am a 33-34 or 3 children in american size. Would you have a table or a guide to know how many stiches i should have for different sizes, please? I must say though that, even though I have th size of a child foot, I have the width of an adult one... so... hmmmm..... some advice, please?
I just found your channel and love your work.
I have the same problem, but, I simply tried on the sock as I was knitting it, and inserted the heel where my heel began
I believe you would just cast on 16 stitches, increase to the width you want, knit to the length of your foot from toe to heel and then insert the heel as shown.
🥰👍
Thank you for watching
Would love to see doing aheel w g dn. U start knitting down , beginning at the top not. Toe. Thanks
Got it 👌🇳🇴🇺🇸❤️I Hope 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck!
Yuk I had to rip it out It started to show purl instead of knit
Do you have to start the sock toe up for this type of heel?
We knit cuff down
Can you please tell me the color name or number you are using? I want to make a pair of socks ASAP with that yarn. Thank you for all your help techniques you share!
This is from our line for Regia.
Thank you so very much for your reply. I do know it is from your fine Regia line however, can you tell me the yarn number or given name because I cannot locate it to purchase. My sincere thanks for your time. I am so happy to know you both feel well.
For that first round, were you knitting through the back loop?
From what I see, He is knitting into the back of the stitch simply because when he picked the stitches up, they wound up sitting "wrong" on the needle. So he is fixing that on round one. Hope that helps!
79oahu thanks!
Looks like your knitting through the back loop of the stitches?
To perhaps save you a research journey - in a nutshell(ish) enter into the leading leg of the stitch where ever it may be unless intentionally needing to twist the stitch. So applies to K, P, Slip, throw, pick, English, Continental, Combination. Does this read as sense to anyone but me? I do what I mean to say but can't say what I do very well.
Li Rogers I had to re-watch this, forgot what my questions was referring to and in doing so, I see that the stitches when he picked them up were not situated correctly and that's why he was knitting through the back loop and you are correct and I understand what you said. Thank you!
Just wondering about the decreases. I've seen where the right side decreases are done as K1, kks and the left side is done as K1, K2tog... you are showing both sides done as K2tog. Can you show a close up of how this looks when complete? I am using ssk on the right and I'm not sure I like the way mine are looking.
Hi Patricia, could you please contact us through our website with any pattern related questions? Here they just get lost.💗
@@ARNECARLOS will do
I always wonder where to put this heel. How many inches from the toe?
Depends on the foot, you find more details on our website arnecarlos.com
I live in Northern Ireland and that yarn is so beautiful. Where can I purchase it please?
Hello Lily,
You can buy it on this website.
www.schachenmayr.com
The name off the wool is Regia.
intun
So, with the Pairfect yarn, the heel is the AFTERTHOUGHT style--not German Short row???
Hi Jo Anna, we have made a video on how to knit the heel of this sock, check it out on iur channel site!
do you have your sock pattern for sale somewhere?
found out where the sock pattern is further on in the video. thanks!
If you pick up 2 sts on each side you wont have a hole. This is the afterthought heel. Do you like this heel the best? Have you tried the fleegle heel? What are your thoughts on the fleegle?
About 2 years ago I ordered a pattern from you and I never received it. Could you possibly resend?
Hi! If you contact us through our website we can help you there
Where to get this sock yarn
Sandra Casagrande go to www.arnecarlos.com/yarn and select your country.
So why not just knit on dpns to begin with?
So the tricky part of the heel is picking up the stitches? Cool. Then you are just making a "toe" the same as you would in cuff down socks. It's the same shape. Thanks
♥ + ♥
Thank you!
I have now watched so many "easy heel" sock tutorials and I am SO CONFUSED. It looks as if for your easy sock, you knit the entire sock, THEN go back and pick up stitches to do the heel, versus doing the German short rows????
I have very small feet and I end up with baggy socks.
Have you tried using smaller needles?
Может кто подскажет как видео смотреть на русском языке или это невозможно
You guys are great, but I wish you would share more. The yarn you use, a few free patterns here and there, and make your videos more concise. I have no idea. The volume is terrible, and you have to admit it's hard understanding the accent. No offense meant whatsoever, but, I struggle listening to your videos, and you're just not explaining how to do what you do.
Thank you for your feedback Patricia!
Completely lost me .if this is easy I'm sad as I will never be able to knit pretty socks I'm sad
