Learn to knit socks using 2 circulars method of knitting in the round.
In this tutorial we will walk through each step of knitting socks on 2 circular needles including: casting on and setting up, knitting a heel flap and gusset, knitting the toe, and how to close up your toe using the Kitchener Stitch.
This tutorial does not have a written pattern to accompany it. If you want a written pattern I suggest that you use Vanilla Socks on Magic Loop by Crazy Sock Lady Designs that can be purchased on Ravelry & Etsy. (Links below) The layout of how the socks are worked up are the same as Magic Loop. (Needle 1/Needle 2) In the tutorial I will be knitting a size medium from this pattern. If the amounts needed for Small or Large are different from the medium I will put the info at the bottom of the screen.
Pattern is written for Small(Medium, Large) - Circumference 8-9”(9-10”, 10-11”)
A Note on Sizes: The sizes listed are based on the foot circumference and not the foot length. I recommend choosing a size that will allow for 1-2 inches of negative ease to get the best fit. You will knit the sock to the length that you need in order to fit.
If you would like to purchase the Magic Loop pattern to follow along it is available for only $2.00, you can do so here:

Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/80298608...
Keep in mind if you use the Magic Loop written pattern the times in the pattern will not be the same as for this tutorial - see below for the times for this tutorial.

Thank you! You turned me into a sock knitter! I love this technique. Nothing else worked for me.
Finally! Recognition that there are people who use two circular needles with socks. I was taught this way and love it:)
I actually like it better than magic loop!
Anybody reading this should definitely take the opportunity to join summer sock camp! It's a free virtual thing and you learn so many new skills.
Free?
Yes, Free!!
Wow! I think I’ll sign up for next year Thanks.
Is it recorded? Available this year?
Where do I find this sock camp?
My favorite, thank you. A helpful tip to me too was to use a wooden needle for one of your 16" so you know the difference between the front and the back, using the sharper needle for the back of the sock to make picking up stitches easier.
I love the Crazy sock lady. She is highly intelligent, a very skilled knitter and an excellent teacher. I recommend her strongly for her "how to" tutorials. I am going to make all my socks now with her method of using 2 circular needles to make a sock!
❤️❤️❤️
That's why two circular needles are always sold out!
Your tutorials are first class....so explanatory making it easy for the knitter.
Thank you so much. I bought a pair of knitted socks, minus the toes. They came with yarn and NO instructions, needles and just safety pins holding the stitches. They had been done on 4 needles! I was able to finish them from your video using circular needle that I had! Love them! 😊
I finally made my first pair of socks , thanks to this tutorial!!! I will be using it over and over! I’m addicted. I love your channel.
Good addiction! Plus you have new socks. I don't do knee highs, I do about short ankle socks
I have been watching this video over and over while I have been crocheting a ginormous ripple afghan, got that finished yesterday. Today I started this pattern and method and have completed the rib and 6 rounds for the leg, I am so excited!!! It looks like it is supposed to look and 2 circulars are so easy to use!!! I so enjoy listening to you, Kay, you don't say umm every other word. lol! Thank you so much!!!
I found some better ways to start my socks thanks to this tutorial!
Hi Kay! Thank you for this video. I normally knit my socks magic loop but I think this method will be easier on my hands with the ends of the non working needle hanging down. Now all I have to do is order more 16” circulars 😊
This is by far my most loved method of knitting socks. I 've tried DPNs, Magic Loop (not a fan), Addi CrasyTrio and this. This is, for me, the easiest method to control the tension and is very quick. Thank you Kay for introducing this method :) Happy knitting :)
Thanks, Kay, for another great tutorial; you're such a wonderful teacher! I've learned so much from your tutorials and truly enjoy all your podcasts; never miss one. And, my goodness - I never knew there were so many different ways to knit socks. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I always learn new tips/ tricks even if you’re teaching a method I’ve been using for years! Thank you So much Kay!
I am usually a magic loop-er, but I think that picking up the gusset is easier with the two needles.
Trying this with worsted weight yarn and 2 size 5 needles. Socks will be for my husband.
I love this! So much less fiddley than magic loop.
I definitely have to order these needles this is something I have not tried yet Thank you for sharing 💞
Refresher course for me, I love knitting socks with two circulars needles. Wonderful job Kay.
Thank you. I have never knitted a sock before. My local shop advised me to use two needles, but I would never have had success without your help. I managed to irradiate the hole at the heel edge by picking up my last stitch from two rows below beyond ‘the slack’. I have a 4/5 UK foot size and knitted 25 rows after the heel for the foot before working the toe. I didn’t have your fancy ruler😀. Hope this helps someone else.
This was my first time trying 2 circulars. I love ❤️ it. Will definitely keep this one. Thanks for tutorial.
I loved this podcast as usuel , rollercoasters are not my thing so I can understand Wyatt
Such a great teacher! And lovely too. Thank you for being so patient and specific for all of us beginners!
I hope to make many great socks.
I made your beginner socks and although a bit tough for me starting from scratch, I am in love with handmade socks! Yum.
Thanks again.
hi i just wanted to say that i am a brand new sock knitter and started with magic loop witch i can do but then tried 2 16 inch needles and instantly fell in love with this method thanks to your video i completed my 1st sock casting on my 2nd one now
Kay, thank you so, so much for your excellent tutorials. I am really enjoying knitting socks on all different needles because of them. I just finished shorties on magic loop and now ready to do socks on two circulars. You are a wonderful teacher! ⭐️💗⭐️
Excellent! I knew this would work!
I just love this idea. I have tried so many socks and they all came out terrible. I always have ladders at both ends. I can't wait to try the the two sets of needles. You are a great teacher and give alot of helpful tips. Thank you for doing this tutorial.
LOVE THIS!!Thank you for the tutorial. This way us do much faster. I have been using DPNs but no more. This way is wonderful!!!
Love using 2 circulars! Thank you for this fabulous video!!! So well done🤩
Ty so much for this video , I can knit sock with dons but this way I found it much easier and your explanations are so easy to understand, you are. A great teacher , ty!
Thank you for this tutorial. It finally made sense and I am now switching to two circulars method. This is so much easier- the tension of the stitches are aligned better than the ones made of 4 DPs!
Thank you for this tutorial! I’m almost finished with the cuff and am enjoying the two circs! Might be my new go to for sock knitting.
Yay!!
I can’t believe what a good teacher you are. As a teacher myself….I appreciate your very clear instruction
I use 2-24inch needles cause I love love TAAT sock knitting. Love all your tutorials, learned a lot!
Hi Kay, I'm enjoying this method of knitting socks., I'm a diehard DPN knitter. The tutorial was really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for teaching so well....
Awesome instruction. Thanks for showing me a way to make socks without using double points. Mom always used double points but I just never got the hang of it. Way too slow. This is perfect.
So excited about this. I’ve always wanted to try it.
I am new to knitting socks. I love this method so much! Thank you for your wonderful instruction.
this widower is looking to make his first pair of socks soon hopefully. Explanation was good and very nice finished product - it will take some practice for me, but I think even this bloke should be able to follow your instructions.
I was just looking into casting on my second with two circulars which is perfect. Thank you! Happy Summer Sock 🧦 Camp ⛺️ Everyone!
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank you for an excellent tutorial Kay! You are a fabulous teacher!
Thank you, very helpful and to the point, also like how you pick up the gusset stitches, pointing out that extra stitches here will help fill in any gaps, that is the easiest fix I have seen 👍
I like this method. My needles were two different lengths but it ended up telling me which was needle one. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
Thank you Kay, really great Tutorial, I usually use magic loop but I'll give this a go. Jo xx
Thank you for the tutorial, you’re socks are wonderful.
Thank you so much!!! So helpful!!!
I would like to try this method, but it seems a little fussy. But don’t know until you try. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Stay safe and be blessed.
Thankyou for this great tutorial. It's the best method
for me. I use two different coloured circular needles so I can't get them mixed up👍
Your tutorials are very clear This is most helpful THANK YOU KAY
I’ve heard about this method but haven’t tried it yet. I’m recently retired, so will be trying it in the near future. Thank you for sharing!
I have been waiting for this tutorial! Thank you
My sock knitting daughter is flying in on Friday to go on vacay with us and I’m looking forward to learning to knit socks so I can join her in the fun!
Hello, I have not knit for like 10/12 years since I learnt to crochet 😋 but recently knit myself about 4/5 shawl/scarfs 💕 & I really want to myself some Plain vanilla socks 😁Thank You 💙 I have been watching all your videos to find the best method for me to understand & follow 😁 with this tutorial for me it was very hard to see your stitches with the dark yarn 💜but I have watched your video with 9" circulars, so I think I might of understood what you was doing. Erica x
I love to try a new technique! Thanks...
Great video. I have been knitting socks this way for years...only difference is I cast on 2 at a time. Makes 2 identical socks. Perfect!
Hi it's Giovanna again. Thanks for showing us how it's done. I like to thank you as I done my first vanilla socks 💖
Great video. Now I love 9 inch circulars and long tail cast on. Thanks.
Can't wait to start this today
Great tutorial! Thank you so much! I will give it a try.
Ahh thank you so much. Im running to your shop to buy 2 circulars and the sock ruler. I love this video tutorial.
Thank you! ❤️
@@CrazySockLady thank you too 😁
Your tutorial is everything I need. 🥰🤩
Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much 😊
Thank you for the new technique added to my technique List
Thank you, it's great to learn new methods. I'll have to order two more needles (already own 2 size 2.25mm 16 inch needles), I like to knit my socks two at a time. BJ
Followed your instructions and learned a lot. My socks are a lot neater now.
I enjoy your tutorials. Thank you!! Happy New Year!!
Such a great tutorial! You’re a terrific knitting teacher!💕
Thank you Noreen! ❤️
Thank you so much Kay great tutorial
thank you I find using the two circular needles so much better than the magic loop method, my stitches are so much better, no gaps, I also find the chaiogoo needles better to use as well, will definitely use this method from now on.🇬🇧
Ty so much for the tutorial!
thanks I like it,can not wait to start.
I'm trying two circular needles. It looks easier than majic loop. Double pointed needles next, that one is a challenge.
I want to do two socks on magic loop! But...I may have to try circular! This came in perfect timing.
I made my own stitch markers but cutting up a plastic straw. Works good and free.
Hi Kay....thanks to your similar frustrating experience with some needles, I have just ordered the Chiao Goo needles with a 16" cable. 🙂
That was awesome. Thank you.
I want to try this. I have to order more needles 😩❤, all my needles are being used for socks lol so many projects
🙏 so so much!
Angela wright hi knitting Matty thank you for sharing with me on how to knit a pair of socks 🙂🌹⚘
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL! Great Job!!! It will be a forever reference!!
I never knitted a sock, but thanks to you I want to try.
You can do it! ❤️ 🧦
Those scisors are the cutest I've ever seen
Wow, a new method!! Cool!! However, little by little we are going back to 4 needles.Let's wait what the next year tutorial will bring :)) Thank you for keeping us awake! Cheers!
It is a very different experience than DPN knitting:)
Hi Kay, I just finished my FOURTH pair of socks following your excellent tutorial! I’ve come to appreciate every extra bit of information you share in your video. I once thought sock knitting was too complicated for me but you have turned me around 😊! Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!!! ❤️ ❤️
Thank you for this fabulous tutorial.
I cannot wait to try this.
Thank you. Hx 💕🇬🇧
Thank you for this tutorial! I was wondering what is your personal favorite way to knit socks?
Thank you for sharing this video on how to knit with 2 needles. I saw the title (before watching) I thought you were knitting 2 socks at a time, not just one! Have you done 2 socks like that? 🤔 Interesting!
Hermoso tejido🇺🇾
I find it SO much easier to use Chiagoo Red Lace small interchangeable needles. They have a tiny cable, knit in the round. 2" & 3" needles. No holes, no gaps. I'll never go to any other way.
I make two socks at the same time. They both turn out, equal in length and width and when I’m done, I’m done.🎉
Definitely do what works for you! ♥️
I’m elderly and have a difficult time seeing the darker yarn. It would be nice to see the socks on two circular needles with a lighter color. I love your teaching . I just struggle seeing with the darker yarn. Thank you so much. I love your teaching. And your voice. Your teaching is very helpful. Thank you❤
Try increasing the brightness on your screen ❤️
Crazy sock lady needs a new name! Amazing lady !!!
Do you like the regular 16” needles or the Chiagoo Twist Shorties best? Love ALL of your videos. 🇨🇱🥰💜
Thanks Kay I have learned a lot from these tutorials and have tried all methods. 9 inch circulars are my preferred choice. Would I be able to do the two circulars method with two nine inch circular needles?
I’m honestly not sure! I’ve never tried it or seen anyone try it. If you do let me know!!
I've used this video SO much. Thank you! I have a question though. Every time I get to my gusset, after picking up the sts and getting ready for the decrease, all of my sts are SO tight on the needles and I don't knit particularly tight. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. Perhaps a silly question but cound this be done using two 9 inch circular needles? Blessings from Greece
I have the same question
Danke für das Video. Ich stricke schon lange so. Aber nicht jede will das wissen.
I'm trying to decide which method to knit my first pair of socks. I feel like 9" circulars might be too small for my larger hands, (I'm 6' tall) This looks intriguing. Any recommendations?
Thanks for such a detailed video. What is the advantage of using 2 needle instead of magic loop? Thanks so much!
I don't think there really is an advantage honestly. It's just a different way of working in the round. And some people prefer not having the long cable to deal with on 2 circs versus magic loop.
@@CrazySockLady Thanks so much for your insight. I happened to be working on a sock using magic loop on 24 inch 2.5 mm needles, so since I had a second set, I transferred half the stitches to the second set. One minor difference I can feel, is that I seem to have a little more cable available so that I’m not pulling so hard to knit the last stitches on the opposite needle. It makes it a little easier on my right wrist (I knit continental style).
I leave the stitch on until I do the second stitch because I get confused, works for me.
