A couple minor corrections because I got rolling too fast in this video and didn't realize I'd flipped a couple things!

1. If you have fewer rows per inch in your row gauge than the designer does, you will probably need to work fewer repeats of the stitch pattern, not more.
2. A sock yarn with 410 yards per 100 grams will be slightly thinner than a sock yarn with 400 yards per 100 grams.

I have not knit a sock for decades, so this video is just what I need to get started again.

THIS!!  this is the perfect sock fitting video.  Sending this to a new sock knitter now.  Thank you!

For part 2, perhaps you could discuss how to get a sock that fits well in the heel and instep.  Socks that fit my foot circumference just fine often “pull” over my instep (that area where the top of the foot ends and the ankle begins.) I do not have high arches, but apparently I have a high instep or a long heel diagonal. Through lots of trial and error, I have learned that I heel flap and gusset styles fit me better and I usually have to knit a longer heel flap than the pattern calls for. Patterns with afterthought heels always pull across my foot uncomfortably. I sure wish someone had explained this to me years ago, and saved me a lot of frustration and uncomfortable hand-knit socks! I am hopeful you might address this in a future video and enlighten other sock knitters out there.

Very nice and clear information. I have been on a quest to knit the perfect socks for my foot for over a year now and your video is very informative. Thank you for such a great video. ❤

Thank you so much for this. I bought a pattern a couple of years ago that sizes by "foot circumference" but never explained where to measure. Now I know what they were on about.
This is the second video of yours I've watched and so much enjoyed. Subbed.

Thank you! This is excellent and I finally feel confident I’ll know how to make my socks fit! I can’t believe how long I’ve been knitting socks (decades) before hearing about negative ease!! Now when I hear that, I know the designer really knows their stuff and how to help other knitters!! Bravo!

I really enjoyed your concise clear podcast. Thank you. I really enjoy sock making and I appreciate your detailed explanations.  Take care, and looking forward to supporting your Chanel and patterns.

Chock full of good info that I need as a new sock knitter - thank you!

Thank you 🙏 You literally answered my question on my sock issue @10:00-10:20. It had fit just right (which I'm starting to realize actually had zero ease), and then it got looser over an hour of wear. They now are my indoor house socks, my gauge vs pattern gauge was the example you used 😅

I’ve been looking for a video to help me measure my socks to fit people FOREVER! Thank you for your help!!! ❤

Awesome info. Always learn something new. I've been knitting socks for 20 plus years.

This was very informative.  As a knitter getting more into sock knitting,  this was very interesting.

I know this is a knitting video but I need your skincare routine. 🤣 You are glowing!

Subscribing… this was amazing!

Very informative! I’ve been saying this too, the way to get socks to fit your feet is to take measurements and know your gauge! And to know how much negative ease you like. After much trial and error, I’ve learned that my preferred stitch count for 75/25 yarn on 2.25mm needle is 52 stitches.

So informative!  Thanks so much!  Love your inclusive sizing 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Such an instructive video. I dream I knit my own socks.

Very interesting and concise too! Thank you

…continuing the sock info….
Ahhh, yes! When I started knitting socks after a 15year hiatus…I was VERY surprised by the difference in yarn weights. As you stated, 463y/100g is soooo different from 420y/100g.
My first sock into the “second” journey I had a 463y skein, wowza, what a difference to the 420y-ish of “older” yarn in stash (and about a dozen socks)!
Needless to say I had to play, knit, frog, knit…repeat!
My only criteria = a dense gauge was a MUST. 463y=10-11 sts/inch, usually on US#0 needle.
400y-440y I try to get gauge of 9 sts/inch, on a US#1 or 1.5.
Lesson learned!
And then I have fun w stripes, texture, various toe decreases for best fit.
My opinion continued: I think gauge is more important than stitch count, because increasing or decreasing a few sts here/there can usually be done for best fit. I also have different stitch counts between leg (ex: 64) & foot (56).
I’m thoroughly enjoying watching this series! I sincerely hope these vids help & encourage all sock knitters! To me, sock knitting is a Gateway to interesting stitch patterns, textures, colorwork…on a much smaller scale (looking at you long sleeved cardigan) !!
Thank you!
(on to the next vid…😊)
