It is not secret, knitting socks is one of my favorite past times. There is nothing more soothing than seeing those tiny stitches popping down from the knitting loom. The process is hypnotic and soothing. A little bit of lace lends these socks a delicate feel.

i recently purchased the his/hers sock loom and i am having difficult time trying to figure out.
i have read about 4 or 5 times and still nothing, i try step by step and still lost.
Do you have a tutorial video for this his/hers sock loom???
i see one for everything else, but no his/hers sock loom… thanks for any help given…
i am a beginner, so need from start till finish…
Hi, these sock looms are used the same way as the others. You can follow the videos that we have for the other sock looms and it will work for this loom.
This MIGHT become my first pair of loom knit socks!
Hi, how would you work the ‘yo’ at the beginning of row 22? Would the first peg end up having two loops on it?
Thanks for your help.
I have a question and it relates to the toe section.
For the heel you do the reinforcement and then continue on to do the leg.
When you are doing the toe, do you skip that part? When you have finished the section do you just do the bind off starting from peg 1?
None of the videos explains what is to be done. They just say heel and toe section are done the same.
Also add a row 23 of knit around and then repeat rows 22and 23 for 3 times
Round 21 is the knit round, it is worked prior to the lace row (Row 22). It is a stitch pattern repetition of 2 rows (Rows 21 and 22). The cuff has 3 stitch repetitions (a total of 6 rounds).
If I’m reading it correctly, the first peg is wrapped (yo), the 2 peg is knit right, the loop from the 3rd peg is placed on the 2nd peg, and both stitches are knit off.
Then from peg 4, the loop is placed on peg 5 and both stitches are knitted off. Pins 3 and 4 are then empty.
How can I then knit round 23 completely right?
A video would be helpful
