omg this video safed my (sock) life :) thanks!

This is really helpful. Thank you.

If you have a little hole on the round after all the stitches are back in work, you can eliminate it by knitting two stitches together at that point, then M1 new stitch to compensate for the stitch you just lost (if you need the extra stitch for your pattern.)

This short row heel works either top down or toe up.

Hi Charisa I would just like to say thanks for this vid i just love how easy you make this look. I need some advice though i keep getting a little hole when i get to the part to continue knitting on the round after the heel. please help a frustrated learner to socks :o) thanks for all the help Justine :o)

Thankyou so much! I'm a total sock noob and have been trying to work out what a short-row heal is. Ingenious! Great vid, just the right pace, and annotations for more info - exactly what was needed.

Could I use this method if I am knitting socks from the leg to the toe? Or will it only work knitting from the toe up?

Holy poop, I think you've just made me the happiest sock noobie ever. <3

You're right, it is mentioned in the annotations. I was watching this at work, not giving it my full attention. Let me just say that your video is excellent--I am always awed by people who can film themselves knitting and have it come out so well. I intend to give your method a try, the next time I knit a pair of socks. Thank you, Charisa!

wow thanks!

Good point -- are you able to view the annotations? I suggest that you purl into the bar rather than knit into it (on the annotation).When I made the video I was not able to see the knitting, I was looking at it via the monitor and so as a result ended up knitting when I should have purled. (On the wrong side row.) In addition, not only should you knit or purl) when M1 (dependent on R or W side) but also twist the stitch so it tightens up the space and ensure that there are NO holes.

I'm surprised by the way Charisa makes a new stitch on the purl rows: she lifts a bar from the row below and _knits_ into it. That seems OK on the knit rows, but wouldn't it be better on purl rows, to _purl_ into the bar? Otherwise, you get a purl bump on the right side, where it doesn't belong.

Please see the info under subscription for the link to the free toe up instruction sheet/method/pattern (it's to the right of the video on the You Tube page.

I use this same method for my toes- when I am done, I just graft all the stitches together!

WOW! I'm so excited about this! I'm new to socks (on my second pair now), and I truly love doing the heels. But I'm not so crazy about doing the gussets. This left me with my mouth hanging open. WOW! Thanks so much for the demo! I can't wait to try it!

thank you im learning

Where is your pattern for the toe up sock? I've only knitted cuff down.

Thank you for your video. I had knit socks and used another method for the heel. This seems so much more simplier and I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

I watch this video on every heel I turn. I can't seem to remember it all. It is a wonderful way to make a heel. I love this video.

Bless you Charisa for filming this so great technique and Since i am new to sock knitting this is going into my playlist called All knitting Socks Techniques here on YT.Thanks to Pricilla too! You have helped many of us NOT to give up on heels!!gratefully, grace
