This is the revised and corrected video upload. It replaces the original that I uploaded yesterday. I made a mistake or two with the stitch counts that needed to be corrected to avoid future confusion. I apologize for any confusion! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel with your subscriptions and likes!
You are the best! The pattern is using dpn’s but I love magic loop and your instructions cover my preferred method 👍👍❤️
Thank you Jan for your reply, I think I understand it a little bit better👍
You’re welcome 😊
I am doing my socks toe up. I have the toes of both socks knitted up to the 64 total stitches. I placed lifelines. I took one toe off the needle and tried it on. Fitting well so far. I am a huge fan of lifelines for keeping the unknitting of mistakes to a minimum and for keeping both socks the same. I keep a little plastic bowl of lifeline strings that I have used for years along with a blunt needle in my project box.
Jana-my most often used joining in the round method is to cast on 1 extra stitch. When the circle is created I slip that extra stitch to the beginning and knit this last stitch and the first stitch together (K2tog). This creates an effective and sturdy join. Can be a bit fixedly...but no more so than your efforts in creating a knot.
Love watching your tutorials. New to your channel
Excellent tutorial 👍
I can't wait to try out this pattern too. Where were you when I almost have up sock knitting. So glad you have more KAL sock patterns. Thank you so much.
I've been knitting since Grade 2 (I'm 71 now) and have never had success with socks. No idea why, but watching your videos and listening to the logic in the way you explain things I think I actually going to buy the yarn and give some of your knits a try. Thanks!
Wonderful!
Great! Great instructions ❤️
Thank you for this Kal. Usually i follow my own pattern and only change the leg. Looking forward to finishing the pair.
I just completed row one of the pattern and found this surprisingly easy. I am going slow, some of my ribbing looks a little wonky, but my Aunt would say that is just character and makes it uniquely my own. Thank you for taking the time to reach these methods.
Thank you! I get confused reading charts 😆
I just completed my very first basic ankle sock and I am hooked on socks. I think I am going to follow along with you in this.
Sure looks easier when you're knitting! Thanks for doing this kal ♥️
Ok ordered my needles through your link (thanks for making it easy) and I am waiting them & the yarn I ordered, also from amazon. Can’t wait to get started! Thanks for doing this knit-along, having your tutorial will make it easier to start something I’ve never done before. These will be my first socks. Wish me luck!! ♥️
Thank you so much for your video, I am a visual learner and have found all your videos so very helpful. Keep them coming 👍😁.
Brand new to your channel and am following this tutorial but too new to dive right in, can’t wait to see how the heel turns out. Thank you for sharing, Pam
So, to make sure I understand this correctly, I would do a plain knit round across the back of the sock and continue with a plain knit round across the pattern stitches. The reason it confuses me is I don’t see a knit round on the example sock. Thank you for offering this knit a long. You have done an outstanding video.
Yes, it is difficult to see on the video since the pattern flows together well, but I assure you that I've followed the chart as written, knitting the even numbered rows.
As always I’m behind. My grandsons are on vacation so I have had sleep overs and I don’t get much knitting done. Hopefully this weekend after the birthday party I can get busy!
Great tutorial presentation, Jana! Your make one left/make one right explanations are easy to see and easy to follow. They are a wonderful addition to the motif. RobinLynn
Thank you I’m doing ok with this kal so far x
Thank you for another wonderful video!!
The calculator link worked for me.
Could you please go slow an$ show us how you cast on these stitches. I like it, and your a great instructor. Thank you. ❤️
There is a link in the video description for the video specifically for the cast on. Thanks for watching!
I always do 20% negative ease for the diameter and 10% for the foot length. I found that if I knit the sock foot the same length as my actual foot it bunches up inside my shoes, which is never comfortable.
Glad you found what works for you! Thanks for watching
Brain-splody! 😂
Hi Jana, I have a question about knitting this pattern because I need to know if I would knit across the front of the sock in plain knit. In other words, is there a plain knit round including back and front of the sock?
Yes, every other round in the chart is plain. Have you download the free pattern? The link is in the video description.
Jan, I am confused, the pattern says M1 but it doesn’t indicate if its m1 left or m1 right.
Would you please clarify that???
I prefer to use the lifted increases that I show in the next video of the playlist:

I also show it slowly and zoomed in a bit more here:

I have No Sock yarn can i use worsted weight yarn number 4 or light yarn number 3..how many stitches do i cast on to make socks ? i am new to knitting and knitting socks ..tyia have a good day Happy knitting Be Safe ...
I answered you in the Ravelry forum also.
If you're new to knitting and new to knitting socks particularly, I'd suggest starting with a simple, cuff down sock. Check out this video playlist.

If you're absolutely set on knitting TAAT, I have a tutorial for toe up socks in fingering weight. The same principles apply, it's just that you're casting on fewer.

I am really struggling with this pattern but I don't know why. I've watched the vid and am following the chart but it just isn't working. I've frogged and started again 4 times. 😥
Thanks for watching. I've answered your question in the FB group.
The sock calculator link is not going to a sock calculator lol it goes to a website called
Thedashpoem
?
Love the tutorial
Thanks
Hmmm. I don’t get why it works for me and some others, but not everyone.
Try getting to it through this Ravelry page.

I have not been able to access either... Tried different devices, different browsers, clear cookies etc 😣
Did you try clicking the Ravelry link I posted above?
@@PurlTogether yes, it works now!
Thanks 😁
I still get the Dash poem 😣
Jana...help...new to knitting socks...my socks came out too tight...around the instep and somewhat around the leg. My foot measures 9.25 in length and 9 in circumference. My swatch came to 18 sts and 26 rows for two inches. Sooo do I need to add stitches or change needle size. I am knitting with fingerling weight..100% superwash merino wool, euro sock, Mad/Tosh yarn. I loved knitting this pattern and learning from you...I know I am the boss of my knitting but I am over it and want you to be the BOSS!😂
How many stitches did you cast on?
Purl Together 64
@@joannewhitbeck3667 That's your issue. If you take the 9" circumference multiplied by 9 stitches per inch, you'd come up with 81 sts. Even if you subtract 10% for negative ease. you'd still want to cast on 72 at least.
Purl Together so add more stitches not change needle sizes. Was my gauge ok? It didn’t sound right either...I was just excited about knitting the pattern!
I normally knit socks at about 8-9 stitches per inch depending upon the yarn. The gauge is up to you and your preference of the density of the fabric you prefer.
Jana, I try to be so carefully with my stitches on the pattern side but sometimes my count gets off. Usually it’s off by one stitch. Could you please comment on what I am doing wrong. I go back and count the stitches from the start but I cannot find where the mistake is. Thank you.
When that happens to me, it's likely that I've miscounted somewhere, or I've more than likely missed an increase or decrease. If you're count if over by one, then possibly you're making an inadvertent yarn over when if you're magic looping?
Is it possible to do just regular M1L and M1R instead of leaning lifted leg method?
Try it and see if you like how that looks. I didn't care for it, but you might be okay with it?
Dear miss jana please tell me what size and brand name yarn you used for this tutorial.

What kind of yarn are using? Love the color.
Araucania Sock. Here is the link to my Ravlery project page, which I'll add above also. Thanks for watching!

Jana I’m confused! the pattern describes ssk really different and says to do all m1 the same. I’ve always done ssk as slipping to knit not purl, and how do i know when to make 1 to the right and left. i’m ready for that part now. so confused
Hi Jackie, I'd suggest that you watch the next video in the playlist. Part 1.5 all about the increases.
As for the ssk, there is a negligible difference between which way you choose to slip the first stitch, so experiment with both and see which you think looks best!

Purl Together thank you Jana, and thank you for these videos, I’m excited to learn to knit socks!!
What yarn are you using please?
Araucania Ranco Sock that I've had in my stash for years. The link to my Ravelry project page is in the video description for more photos and project details. Thanks for watching!
