![[KnitFreedom] Toe Up Socks: When To Start Increases For Fleegle Heel](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DmYhggEeWcs/mqdefault.jpg)
Your very clear method of of teaching has helped me learn this fantastic heel technique. I've been knitting socks a long time but the Fleegle heel has changed everything for me...finally no holes and a better fit!
Thank you for this video. It helped me with another project and was probably the best fleegle heel video I could find.
I can't thank you enough for your simple sock pattern and this video. I have at last conquered socks thanks to you:)
I made my first socks from your video tutorial. I'm m also purling (or knitting backwards) back. Turn the heel and not turn the work? Brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to share these techniques.
I've been using this video for fleegle heels for over five years now. Best one out there.
Thank you Deathmetalmama!!
Thanks so much for that little bit about 2 stitches beyond the marker so that I don't have to count! I am watching these so I can understand the mathematics behind the instructions and this helped a lot.
Love, love your videos!!! You’re wonderful instructor!👏❤️
You are so awesome! I love your teaching style!
I am SO THRILLED to find this tutorial! I had struggled with a method used in a toe up sock book I purchased that was so complex it was impossible to follow. Following along with your video I was done in no time, no sweat, no swearing. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! I loved to knit these socks.
Thank you for this video.
rocking awsome. i bought a book and had an awful time figuring out the heel...but you made it oh so simple. I'm not afraid of sock heals anymore.
how can i ever thank you enough!?
Thank you! I absolutely do have videos showing all the steps of the toe-up socks. This is just one of about 10 videos I have showing the process. Click the link in the description below the video or go to knitfreedom (dot) com / classes / toe - up - socks, and you can download the video course there. I hope this helps! PS thanks for your hugs and welcome to KNITFreedom, where all your toe-up sock dreams come true! :)
thanks !is wondorfull!!
Excellent explanation congrats, finally got it
That's awesome Angelika! So glad we could help :) If you ever need more knitting tutorials and tricks, visit us at www.KnitFreedom.com
@bruggermom YAYY! Its great that you are comfortable with sock heels now. I am so glad I helped :)
Is there an up to date video as the one above is discontinued. I would love to know when you start this heel. It looks very interesting and you seem to make it very clear.
I love the way you teach. Are you able to do a video on the gusset and heel flap all the way to the bind off of a toe up knitted sock? I just learnt on my own to knit socks cuff down but I'm in live with toe up and no matter how many times I read my book on toe up and there aren't any good videos on it either get stuck at the gusset and heel flap. Live your videos! Hugs from Canada!
nice tutorial :)
You can, but I don't think it would be much fun. They could probably show you at your local yarn store. I would recommend giving Magic Loop at try - that way you can knit two-at-a-time also. Here's my class on that: knitfreedom (dot) com / classes / toe-up-socks.
This heel looks and fits nice! So easy too! Can this heel be turned into a slip stitch heel somehow?
Liat, do you have a dvd for your two at a time toe up socks.
When you start working in the round and come to the gap that was on the right hand side of the work do you do a ssk?
I use Magic Loop on the toes, then after the last increase, I switch to a 9" needle, and finish the sock on it. 12" is too big, usually used for sleeves.
When you started ,you were pulling the bottom needle out to start every round. In this video, you are pulling the back needle out, which is how I usually do magic loop. Which s correct?
What if we don't want our heels so pointy, or we're knitting with more stitches in fingering weight yarn? If for instance, I want 14 stitches across the back of my heel, would I knit to 7 stitches beyond the marker before I start my turn? And then 7 stitches beyond the marker when purling (or mirror knitting) back? I've been doing short row W&T heels forever but I've grown tired of how tedious it is to knit short rows back and forth for over an hour per heel.
My first toes up pair of socks on the way. I watched many, may videos and your are the only one I REALLY understood. Thank you for been so easy and show us exactly how to do the heels.
I have one question tho....
How I can avoid the holes in ea side after I finish the heel? Thanks again, and again :>)
Hi Teresa, thanks for your comment! I'm so glad you found me! If you use the right pattern, you won't get holes in your heels. Try these beginner toe-up sock patterns: www.knitfreedom.com/free-patterns/socks/toe-up-sock-patterns/ Email me at happiness@knitfreedom.com if you have any questions!
Is that all to the heel: one can start on the leg of the sock after
my assumption, by watching this, is that the fleegle heel can be done top-down or toe-up. Would I be correct in assuming that?
Do you have written instructions for your fleegle heel
Liat, I have your tutorial for toe up socks, but I want to knit them on 12 inch circa. Can this be done? I'm having problems wrapping my brain around it.
wheres the link to the next part
Hello, I have knitted a bunch of toe up socks with the magic loop co, and then increasing every other row. I never liked the trapezoid toe shapes. I once came across a video that showed how to do a rounded toe. I can’t fid the video again. Was it one of yours? Do you have a pattern for a rounded toe?
When I get ready to work the heel for the faux heel is it the same.... Your pattern for this sock is kinda funky only working to stitch 21 (I have 64 on my heel needle) and it seems a bit strange
Do you have a toe up fleegle heel pattern fingering yarn that i can buy?
In your video series do you discuss when to change color for the heel if I'm doing toe/heel/cuff contrasting colors?
I have tried to do a contracting heel and it is not possible with this method. The only thing I can suggest is to add the colour at this point because you are going back and forth only on the heel, although the colour will only be half of the heel.
So what I have done to make it fun is to have 2 colours for the toe and main body and flip the colours on the 2nd sock and match the toes and cuffs... you can see this affect on my Instagram if you are interested... IG: vivlaw13 Hope that helped... happy knitting.
What pattern are you working with?
I'm following your pattern for two at a time toe up socks and I'm ready to turn the heel. In this video you use ask in the pattern the directions read k2tog. Which is the best method?
SSK because it's a left-leaning decrease.
Have you ever thought of teaching the German short rows for the heel?
@hotdog1997 Sure, that would work. Cast on for the toe using 2 DPNs and then immediately switch to 3 or 4 for the toe. If you are interested, I have free Magic Loop videos - if you are interested you can browse my UA-cam channel or visit my website.
I've been working a ribbed baby sock with 40 total stitches. The directions are unclear on the heel gusset. How many should I increase to on the heel side before doing this heel turn? 32?
On your pattern it says K2tog instead of SSK, will that matter?
Where did the gusset stitches go?? Do i still need a heel flap?
I think I have just come to the realisation you don't need a heel flap. Hooray.
I finally got this one done, and it works somehow... I'm still confused, but then again two trucks running into each other at 100mph !=200mph damage also confuses me, but I've learned to accept it.
Where is the other part after doing the heel?
Hi Lois, not all the videos are available for free on UA-cam. This is just for the heel if you are following our Fleegle Heel patterns. You can watch all the videos in order by buying our socks class at www.knitfreedom.com/shop/toe-up-socks
I find when I do the fleegal heel, which I love, my heel adds an extra inch to the foot size. So instead of 2 inches off the length of the foot I need to allow 3 inches . Is this right ? Or am I doing something wrong .
Hey Helen! Are you using our free basic Fleegle heel toe-up sock patterns? (www.knitfreedom.com/free-patterns/socks/toe-up-sock-patterns/) For the gusset, it's best to start increasing as your knitting hits the front of your ankle. The extra inch added to your Fleegle heel sock is likely because the increases started too late. You may want to check out our blog post explaining when best to increase for the Fleegle heel, how to gauge where the front of the ankle is, and some other tips you may find helpful! www.knitfreedom.com/blog/when-to-start-your-fleegle-heel-increases-where-is-the-front-of-your-ankle/
Yes I have been starting about 2 inches before the heel but I find I need to start 3 inches at least or the foot grows by an inch. I calculate carefully now to counteract the measurements . All good I just need to be a little more cautious. It's a great heel though I love it.
@@helenfitch3440 Glad you're enjoying the Fleegle heel! Have you tried deciding to start the heel based on fitting and not strict measurements? Most people who have trouble with the Fleegle heel find that it’s from starting the gusset increases too late. Instead of measuring your foot and subtracting 2 or 3 inches, maybe try on the sock while flexing your foot as much as you can while pulling the sock on your foot to fit it snugly. This may help you gauge where to start the heel sooner.
No that wouldn't work , I knit for the homeless so there is no chance to try the sock on. Good idea though. Measuring doesn't bother me . Thanks for your help. Now that I have found this heel pattern I won't be using any other one. I shouldn't be awful but I doubt very much if the homeless mind some extra length in their socks... 😃
@@helenfitch3440 That makes sense. I'm so glad we could help, and we are excited to see all the socks you come up with - happy knitting!
Non capisco inglese è possibile avere traduzione italiano grazie
Thank you for so succinctly showing this heel in just under 7 minutes. I went to a vid about a best heel, and had to listen to the woman ramble for over 40 minutes and she didn't show how to do it. Another woman had a 1:09 (one hour 9 minutes) video to demonstrate the same heel. Argh.
Thanks! Actually, this is the Fleegle heel, which on the "turn heel" part is a short-row heel. Did you download the pattern and try it out? I never have any holes using the pattern. Find it at knitfreedom (dot) com / free - patterns :)
Ciao ma le maglie che togli non si recuperano ?
I am using this pattern: knitfreedom (dot) com/free-patterns/worsted-weight-socks
But I can see holes :(
They close up every time you knit or purl back... I've been using this method since my first pair of socks back in 2014... I promise there will be no holes... It's sock season for me so check out my photos on IG: vivlaw13 to see that they are free of holes... ^_^

if this is knitting freedom why are they charging to learn this if it was freedom it would be for free. its a very good way to learn but if your going to youtube it then it should be free, not get charged for it.
