Hi Everyone! So I’m new to knitting and I’m not into the needles really. The first time I tried it took hours to make rows that where so tiny it looks like 2 not 6 lol. So now I have a love for looms along with my crocheting I already do. I’m wondering how to loom socks.I’m confused by the ones I’m seeing with the toe up tutorials. I did find another one I’m trying to do, I’ll post the video below. But I’m doing a garter stitch with it not with what’s in the video. I’m trying to make mid-leg socks for my mother. I am wondering if I just make a tube for the foot, then the heel, then the tube part for the leg, then stitch up the toe part? Sorry if this sounds confusing. here’s a few pictures of what i have so far and that video.
(just pulled it up to show how much is done)
Hmm…you might be able to make tube socks with a loom, but to create the same sort of fitted heel and toe might be difficult if not impossible with that type loom. :think:
hmmm I’m probably wording it wrong lol. I’m just wondering how to make socks with it. So far I have that much done by the video it shows as you make more and it moves down that part I’m making is the leg. then I have to make the heel and the foot part.
IF I were to try loom knitting a sock I would find a tutorial that I thought I liked and follow it exactly. That one shows a short row heel, no gusset, pretty basic. The toe is Kitchener stitched to the foot on one side. You should be able to make a sock as shown. :shrug:
ETA I was watching the video in your link and I missed that you had posted again. I guess I’m not at all sure what you’re trying to figure out. If you follow the video you should get a sock with a short row heel and a toe.
