Learn to knit socks on 9" circular knitting needles.
In this tutorial we will walk through each step of knitting socks on 9" circulars including: casting on and setting up, 2 ways of knitting a heel flap and gusset (on the 9" AND using 2 DPNs), switching to Magic Loops for knitting the toe, and how to close up your toe using the Kitchener Stitch.
This tutorial accompanies a written pattern that can be purchased on Ravelry & Etsy. (Links below) In the tutorial I will be knitting a size medium from this pattern. If the amounts needed for Small or Large are different from the medium I will put the info at the bottom of the screen.
Pattern is written for Small(Medium, Large) - Circumference 8-9”(9-10”, 10-11”)
A Note on Sizes: The sizes listed are based on the foot circumference and not the foot length. I recommend choosing a size that will allow for 1-2 inches of negative ease to get the best fit. You will knit the sock to the length that you need in order to fit.
If you would like to purchase the written pattern to follow along it is available for only $2.00, you can do so here:

One day I'll have this memorized, but today is not that day. I have gone back to this video about a billion times while I'm doing my socks. I imagine it'll be like this for the next ten pairs. Then maybe I'll have this nailed down. But it's the best video out there for 9 inch circulars. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this outstanding tutorial.

Part of my confusion was about marker placement and part concerned equipment. Not only did you clear that up, but you explained the reasons for your choices and finally it all made sense to me! Thank you so much! Sincere best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful New Year!

I am proud to post these socks on to my daughter, whose working travel in New Zealand has been prolonged by the pandemic, and she plans to wear them with her Roller Skating boots. This video and the successful result, has given me the confidence to purchase and invest in a variety of patterns for future socks, now that everyone else in the family would like a pair of hand knitted socks too.

Thank you so much for this video. There is no way I could have completed a pair without it. I also purchased your pattern (which was very moderately priced btw) and that is helping this newbie learn to read a knitting pattern after 55 years of crocheting. I just got my 32" circular to use for the toe area on this pair. Folks like you help make that old saying "you can't teach an old dog new trick" saying false..haha. Thanks again and God bless you sweetie!! The best advice you gave during video imo is to hold that circular gently. I hear your words in my head several times to remind me to ease up.

After looking at your videos so many times I’m tackling socks as of today. I’m throwing away my fear and throwing away the verbal I can’t knit socks. I’ve bought several books on knitting socks none helped thus far, but I can say there is no one that can teach knitting socks as well as you.

You can get tendonitis from this style of yarn holding, especially when doing a lot of purl stitches. If you favour holding the yarn in your left hand, you should look at tutorials for the Norwegian purl, which eliminates the strain produced by constantly waving your index finger around. Many knitters choose to knit in the round because they don't like purling. But purling is just as easy as knitting if you learn to use an English style, holding the yarn in your right hand.

Hi Kay! For starters, thanks for this tutorial! It is the sock technique I've been hoping to see - like many knitters, I have admired sock knitters from afar for a very long time! But this year, was asked by a coworker if I could make her a pair of boot socks and did not want to disappoint her. I like using circular needles more than DPNs, and haven't YET used my smaller ones or made a full pair of socks from sock yarn, but I have used and am currently using my 5.5mm 9" circulars to make sweater sleeves, and I have the same problems as you. So either it's not just you or it's just us! Ever since I started using my 9" circulars I've guessed it's the fact that there's not much needle there to grip, and we are used to gripping onto our needles. I find myself knitting with just the very tips of my very sharp, pointy 5.5mms, which is not my normal knitting style at all because I'm usually fanatical about not dropping stitches. I know this tutorial is a few years old, but I've had my 9" circulars for several years and it never gets any easier to do the first row on them, so I just wanted to commiserate with you and thank you for making this tutorial!

Oh, this was so useful! Thank you so much! I bought your pattern (and thank you too for the low price), and I've followed along. I LOVE the 9" circulars. This is a game-changer for me. Socks, here I come!!

This is a well done tutorial. I especially liked the way you said that I’ll meet you when you have finished knitting the part you just taught. I’m one of those who gave up the 9 inch after the first round was so tight. So now I know I have to persevere. I also will probably use another circ for the heel flap. Thanks so much for helping us to see the possibilities of another knitting style. From South Jersey.🌹

I was overjoyed when I discovered these tiny circulars. We took to each other instantly. I gave up in disgust trying to wrestle the porcupine ( 5 pairs of DPNs ugh!) and even magic loop didn’t work as I always got ladders. These lovelies are just the ticket!

Great tutorial. I am just on my first sock ever (September 1st 2023) and really love how I can stop, start the video and knit stitch by stitch and stitch holder by stitch holder. THANK YOU!!!!!

I have tried every method to knit socks and have only found one way that I can do them comfortably and easily: Knit Pro asymmetric 9" needles. The needles are different sizes so that the longer needle is in the working hand. Perfect 🎉

I can't tell you hope helpful this has been. I took an almost 7 year knitting hiatus and now I finally have the time to start up again. I've been a bit rusty with the different parts of sock knitting, especially the gusset but your videos are so easy to understand and you take the time to explain how everything is done. Thank you again ❤️

Made my first socks from start to finish using your video. Excellent instructions! I liked that you incorporated 9” and DPN options. Tips on marker placement and row identification were also very helpful. Thanks!

This tutorial has absolutely saved me and I've watched some parts several times. I'm working a patterned sock but had to reduce it by 18 stitches. I've found I'm similar to your stitch numbers which has made me not feel crazy. I also have been able to use these principles when the stitch numbers in my pattern obviously don't match up after my adjustments. Thank you for a clear and thorough tutorial!

Omg, I mastered knitting on a 9” circular needle for the heel flap, heel turn, picking up the gusset stitches, decreasing back down to my starting number and then I finally figured out magic loop for my toes, thank you Kay for giving me the confidence in trying out a different method to knit socks, posting my finished socks into the sock camp FO thread as soon as the other toe and ends are sewn in, you rock!.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to do this tutorial. One of my goals for a very long time has been to knit a pair of socks. I'd love to knit and crochet a few high quality staple wardrobe items instead of buying ready wear from the stores. Thanks to your very clear and well explained tutorial I will be able to accomplish one of my long time goals. I'll be heading over to your Etsy store to purchase your pattern as well. Be well and stay safe. Chao.

Thank you so so much for your tutorials. My sock knitting life is really taking off. I’ve just recently found the quick links to jump around them too! So much easier than trying to skim the videos by hand. Even just to hear your voice calms me when I’m in a muddle . X x

WOW. This is good. I've had sock knitting materials for a while, but never found instructions that truly clicked. This is no easy thing to teach. Your pace is perfect.

Brilliant. Thank you. Learned some interesting and useful little tweaks which will no doubt improve the finish of my socks, especially removing the dog ears on the toes! ❤
