I love being able to teach you how to knit toe up socks. Be sure to watch the entire video first before you try to work along with me. I cover A LOT OF INFORMATION in this tutorial but you will benefit from all of it. If you need to get to blog post with the links to the free pattern, click here: marlybird.com/toe-up-knit-socks-toe-up-crochet-socks-2020-sock-along/
Where do you get the neat form that you put your socks on? I've had a hard time finding it because I don't know what to call them.. HELP! and thank you 😌
Thanks so much I will try this for first toe up. My foot and grandson is the same size let me know what size you'll need from me for a pattern, thanks so much!
Marly, I never knitted a sock so I had to watch this video 4 times, once without knitting and 3 more times second portion alway wrong. I've made good use of my life line let me tell you but it paid off I have finally succeeded first portion and the second portion.... on my 4th try while keeping my 2 stitch markers in place !
If I only had the command of my needles in yarn like you do, I fumble around so much it’s not even funny that I absolutely don’t believe I have any tension whatsoever but I love watching you.
Marley you picked the best music for this video I’ve learned so much from you and a few other people on this new tube area of knitting socks and I appreciate your choice of music and your articulation of how to make a sock. I did learn from another website that she was making small socksand I wished I just started out doing some thing like that with less stitches in possibly would’ve gotten further along but I still go back to yours when I want to do my German short hair at Roz and work on my heels so thank you so much. This is a great tutorial.
Well once again I was successful with getting another 'difficult for me' section. This is the first heel of a sock I've been able to get done and have it look right. I watched the video over and over, paused each section and then continued. Thank you Marly Bird.
Your teaching method and clear visuals are the best I have ever seen on GSR and the W&T is just what I've been looking for the close up the join. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to show and explain each step as well as showing all of it and not just skipping ahead. You are slow and methodical, you don´t block the work with your hands and you explain very well. I have been able to follow along and have now finally succeeded in knitting a heel, and it was fun instead of frustrating. I really appreciate that you show the entire process. Thank you!
Hi Marly, frankly am a beginner sock knitter. I find your instructions clear. I made the first part, and that is an achievement thanks for your clear Tutorial and patience for explaining. I will definitely go over your video more than twice for the 2nd part, but it motivates me to finish the project. Appreciate very much all your inputs. Best regards from Germany.
You are a delight! I have knitted several pairs of sox and I thank you for teaching me even more techniques. I'm better with a rounded toe which I can easily adapt to your pattern. Your information on fixing the holes is wonderful. I will take all on my continued journey of knitting socks.
You have done a fantastic job teaching this method. I have always been afraid of knitting or crocheting socks but I have started my sock now and am ready for the heel. I had to wait until I was 75 years old to do it but thanks to you I am going to finish and hopefully make many more socks. Thank you so much for these three videos. (and all other videos) I have watched them twice now and have the confidence to work on.
Yes, you made me understand how to knit heels with German short raw and double (leg) stitches! Hoorays you gave me a good feeling to knit my first socks. Since I watched your last week’s part 1 I bought pdf pattern and looked forward this part 2 comes. It was a quite long 7 days..... Thank you so much.
The tips for securing the wraps on each end are fantastic. You explain everything so well. You are an awesome instructor, very thorough and well spoken. Thank you very much
Just wanted to stop by and say the bonus material was so useful for me! My feet are tiny (my family calls them my fairy feet!) and so learning to customize sock patterns for my feet is a HUGE source of encouragement to actually knit a pair of socks. Thanks so much!
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen and helped me tremendously. Love the tip on the wraps. I will definitely use this method often. Thank you!
This video is the best for beginners like myself. By watching this video I gain confidence how to knit the heel. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Al ver estas medias tejidas vienen a mi mente tantos recuerdos de mi adolescencia cuando tenia que tejer mis medias para poder ir a la escuela secundaria, ya que en Cuba no había de nada, ni siquiera un par de medias; las hacía con tres carreteles de hilo de coser 🧵 la ropa y tan bellas que me quedaban, ya han pasado 45 años de ese tiempo
Thank you Marly. I am doing 2 at a time toe up. So I think I have to skip the wrap stitch but I will just pick up an extra stitch when I join front and back😊
Marly I'm enjoying following along with you and Rohn. I crochet and knit but have never tackled socks but watching these videos is making it so simple to do. Your both so easy to follow and I'm making a pair both ways with the same yarn. Looking forward to next videos! Hope the technical difficulties are ironed out soon .
I've read the directions for German Short Rows before but your video was excellent and really clarified the directions. A picture is worth a thousand words. I learned the secret to no holes when rejoining the yarn to finish the top of the leg. Great idea!! Maybe a tutorial for how to make the socks smaller for those of us with very narrow feet and skinny ankles and legs. I need the length for a med foot and leg length, size 7 shoe but smaller diameter tube for foot and leg.
I don't knit but I bought a sock loom and made a pair of socks for my grandson. He has a very short foot with and extremely deep instep. After watching this video and seeing what you did with your german short rows and seeing your stitch calculator I am willing to try them again. Thank you so much for your always interesting always informative and easy to understand video instructions!
Marley, if you are wondering why your viewing numbers for this video have increased since December it’s because I am watching it over and over again. I have yet to master the sock, after starting and tearing out and restarting more times than I can even begin to count. I am not giving up. I wish I could sit with you one day and just get you to tell me what I am doing wrong. The videos make it look so easy.... for me it hasn’t been. I may be expecting perfection and it isn’t happening. I have gotten where I can knit in the same style as you and it feels natural, but that’s the most I can say for socks.... thank you, I will keep trying.
Thanks so much, Marly! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've made toe up socks before but these are the best fitting ones I've made. I guess I'll be getting some more sock yarn!
This bonus material is super helpful! Thanks so much for including it 😁 I'm going to make another pair of socks for my son who has gigantic ankle bones. This will actually make it so socks fit properly around his ankles. This is a game changer! 💙
Because you “made” promise to watch the video, I followed along. It was hard not to start, but I listened! Lol Now I’m about to start. Let’s see how it goes.... 😂😘
Thank you for your great instructions! I wanted to learn to do toe up socks & knew from your past videos you are very complete & go slow over the instructions. I am making these socks for my dtr.
I have the very pink knits gsr socks. I printed this pattern and I usually knit my socks toe up 2 at a time. This will be slow for me the first time. I know I can knit these. Thank you for the free pattern!!!
Your videos are so informative, and so clear. I love that you explain exactly what to do and why, and then show how to do it. I've just finished the German short Row heel and it's looking good!
Great technique for the boomerang heel. Especially without intermediate rounds over the upper foot stitches with a different color for the heel! Also the technique for avoiding side holes. I will try it out. Thanks Marly.
For the length of the foot, you just use your hand. Put the heel of your hand on the toe and your fingers along the foot. When you reach the length of your whole hand on the foot, start the heel. Never fails.
Marley you are very clear with your short row instructions and the heel does look so clean and neat and (hole free). I will try your instructions of the toe up sock with German short row heels. I just completed a sock (1) sock using a shadow wrap technique and it does not fit well at all, it left little wings on both sides of the heel. Now I don’t want to make the other sock because it just does’t fit well at all. What a waste of time. So I’m in a dilemma as what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Wow, this is some good stuff Marly. The best explanation I've ever heard for toe up socks. The heel is my enemy, but I feel confident now with this explanation. Like some of my friends say, Your the Bomb! (I really don't know what that means but I think it is good) LOL.
Great video on GSR heel. I like the centre pick up stitches before working on the 2nd half. It looks better. I just have to adjust my tension so it’s not loosey goosey hehe. I forgot to pick up the wrap stitches before I went around again oops. I’ll try to remember for the 2nd sock
This is an excellent instructional video. I’ll give it a 10 out of 10. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into it. I’m knitting these two at a time and wondering if I need to separate them in order to do the wrap and turns?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Marly Bird, for taking the time to make a complete GSR heel tutorial to walk inexperienced sock knitters/makers through the entire process giving them the techniques to build their confidence to knit a pair of socks. The final outcome of your heel is absolutely beautiful. Could the same techniques be used for a GSR toe as well? I really love how flawless GSR shaping looks on socks. I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial 🤝🏽...
I am really enjoying the toe up socks! I have 4 socks started, waiting for part 3 to finish them up. I would have started more, but I ran out of double pointed needles. Lol
Could you make a video tutorial about how to fix a german short row double stitch, from both the right side and the wrong side? Thank you very much for your videos.
I wish I knew when I started my toe up sock with new circulars that I should soak them to loosen the curl. I'm just finishing the toe and before I get to the foot I'm going to try to loosen the curl by soaking in warm water.. They've been fighting me every step of the way and it's exhausting. The good news I've mastered the cast on and the increases. So far so good.
Complete sock newbie here (only done a few scarves and hats so far): Is there a video that shows what to do if you drop an end stitch or two during the short rows (showing how to pick back up the double stitches correctly)? Or do you just have to rip out the work and start over again? I struggle with shaky hands at times and my stitches sometimes get bumped off the tip of the needle.
Thank you so much Marly. The first heel was a wooly-bear, but the second was MUCH easier. As usual, I try my best to make things harder than they really are. This is my first time using German short rows and I rather like it. I've done gusset before but I LOVE not having to pick up all the stitches. This is so much easier and fits very nice. Thank you for all your hard work and for your lovely disposition. I ALWAYS look forward to your cheerful encouragement. God bless.
What sorcery are you using? And thank you so much for sharing it….yes, I’m talking about that quick little wrap around the first stitch of the instep stitches…that is phenomenal! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can it really be soooooo easy? Ta! Dah!!!
This may be a silly question. I am new to sock knitting. Can I follow these heel instructions if I am working my sock cuff down? Or does it only work for toe up? Thank you.
I need to get better at heels. I like German short rows but mine look kind of messy. I want mine to look like yours. Gonna watch the whole thing then practice. 🧶🧦
If I wanted to make these with worsted weight yarn would I have to go down a sock size? My thinking is if I didn't I would end up with a sock that's too big.
Thank you for this video, your detail is amazing, informative & provides a thorough understanding of what is going. I am knitting two socks at a time on two circulars (I prefer it over magic loop). Can you do the heel German short rows while doing two at a time on two circulars? How? Is one heel worked a time?
Excellent instructions as we've all come to expect. My first KAL was the This or That Fair Isle sweater and I was so impressed with how you explain everything. My ONLY complaint is I don't see a link to the pattern for the awesome Poncho/Capelet you're wearing in the video and it's great!
Thank you for your clear instructions. The video are so well done and I am looking forward to doing the GSR technique (which I have watched). you also point out that the GSR heel would make a nice toe shaping. My question is will you be able to do a video on making the toe with GSR method? PS. I would love to know the name of the pattern of the beautiful green cowl/cape you are wearing in the part 2 video. Thank you. Patty
Thank you for a math version of adjusting the heel to fit a bigger foot. My wife has Edema in one foot so she has a much bigger foot than normal I didn't do any adjustments to this first sock pair as they are for me but I am going to try the adjustments on my next pair ... I think I am an addict. I do have a question -- should we go ahead and work up the leg or should we wait for video 3

Thanks so much I will try this for first toe up. My foot and grandson is the same size let me know what size you'll need from me for a pattern, thanks so much!
I'm hearing impaired so some details past me by hopefully I'll be able to put this into tv for captioning.
Marly, I never knitted a sock so I had to watch this video 4 times, once without knitting and 3 more times second portion alway wrong.

I completely understand. It’s taken years of practice for me to get to this point.
As a first time sock knitter SO appreciate you filming the entire knitting of heel instead of jumping to the end. It is so 49:50 helpful!🙏
Marley you picked the best music for this video I’ve learned so much from you and a few other people on this new tube area of knitting socks and I appreciate your choice of music and your articulation of how to make a sock.

From Norway.
A very good video of toe up socks. I like to knit this way now. E very good video of the heel knitting. Thank you.❤

Marly, Thank you! The heel makes more sense now. I feel so much smarter now. 😁
Wonderful!
I loved the math! It really helped me understand how everything works together. Thanks.
Marly, amazing video, I am there is no way you could have done this better and because of this video I did it.!!! Thank you so much!!

I love how you do the GSR heal!
Marly thank you! I have made socks- most are too big or small. Now I understand how to adjust. Worksheets are great.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this tutorial!!! I love the way you teach! Now I understand the whole GSS heel!!😘😘😘😘😘
Anxious to try those German Short Rows!!!!!
Thanks so much, Marly! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've made toe up socks before but these are the best fitting ones I've made. I guess I'll be getting some more sock yarn!
You are so welcome!

Hi! I'm from Italy! Finally I understood toe up socks method! Thank you so much! ❤️ I'm wait for the second part! ☺️
I'm so glad!
I love in Italy, too. They have GORGEOUS wool here!
Have started a second pair .. cast on with dpn's. Not as hard as I thought it would be . Keep socking you guys.
This video is a lifesaver! A perfect heel! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make the video. Amazing! :)
Wow, this is some good stuff Marly. The best explanation I've ever heard for toe up socks. The heel is my enemy, but I feel confident now with this explanation. Like some of my friends say, Your the Bomb! (I really don't know what that means but I think it is good) LOL.
thank you.
Love your green top!!! Favourite colour of mine!!!
Mine too!
Do you have pattern for it?
Gotta love pause
Angel Burton And rewind! ⏪
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was so helpful.
Brilliant thank you so much, great teacher
Wow, this was awesome, so much info , thank you, I did one sock years ago but don’t Romberg what I did. Lol
Nice to see someone with the same size feet as me. Lol. Unusual woman’s size. Love you Marly.
Perfecto igual profesional enseña por gracia información 👏👏👏❤️ desde 🇨🇱
Great video on GSR heel. I like the centre pick up stitches before working on the 2nd half. It looks better. I just have to adjust my tension so it’s not loosey goosey hehe. I forgot to pick up the wrap stitches before I went around again oops. I’ll try to remember for the 2nd sock
You can do it!
This is an excellent instructional video. I’ll give it a 10 out of 10. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into it. I’m knitting these two at a time and wondering if I need to separate them in order to do the wrap and turns?
Love this tutorial series !!! Thank you
Thank you , Marly ❤️
I learned how to adjust the numbers for my son who always seems to have a problem getting his feet into the socks past the heel.
great!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Marly Bird, for taking the time to make a complete GSR heel tutorial to walk inexperienced sock knitters/makers through the entire process giving them the techniques to build their confidence to knit a pair of socks.

Thank you for this tutorial!🌹
Tank you .you teach very good
Anxiously waiting
Super!
Is there a way to provide for a higher instep with the GSR heel?
Beatifull❤
I am really enjoying the toe up socks! I have 4 socks started, waiting for part 3 to finish them up. I would have started more, but I ran out of double pointed needles. Lol
Wonderful!
Your hitting is so neat
Marly, better that it be 'too much' math than 'too little'. I'm in the 'too much' camp. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Could you make a video tutorial about how to fix a german short row double stitch, from both the right side and the wrong side? Thank you very much for your videos.
I wish I knew when I started my toe up sock with new circulars that I should soak them to loosen the curl. I'm just finishing the toe and before I get to the foot I'm going to try to loosen the curl by soaking in warm water.. They've been fighting me every step of the way and it's exhausting.

What sorcery are you using? And thank you so much for sharing it….yes, I’m talking about that quick little wrap around the first stitch of the instep stitches…that is phenomenal! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can it really be soooooo easy? Ta! Dah!!!
This may be a silly question. I am new to sock knitting. Can I follow these heel instructions if I am working my sock cuff down? Or does it only work for toe up? Thank you.
Excellent video.. I must say I was also mesmerized by your bright green top. Please say you have a pattern for that can be purchased?
Appreciate you going through the whole process of the GR heel and not speeding up. One question , what kind of needles are you using in the video?
is there a pattern for the poncho/shawl you are wearing? it's a beautiful piece. love your videos and teaching techniques
I need to get better at heels. I like German short rows but mine look kind of messy. I want mine to look like yours. Gonna watch the whole thing then practice. 🧶🧦

I love your tutorial. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try toe up. Your green sweater in this video is gorgeous. What is the pattern?
Hi Marly!
Thank you for this video! I loved your cover up or poncho! It’s there a pattern for this one? Thank you!
I definitely pulled the yarn right, but still got holes. Especially at the area where the wrap and turn (to avoid holes) is
Thank you for a math version of adjusting the heel to fit a bigger foot. My wife has Edema in one foot so she has a much bigger foot than normal I didn't do any adjustments to this first sock pair as they are for me but I am going to try the adjustments on my next pair ...

This looks easy but I’m having difficulties getting it to work out.
practice...it takes time but you can do it.
