For anyone who is interested, I wear a size 8 shoe and I did 35 rows after the ribbing and then after that, I did 40 rows from the heel to the toe. It comes about mid-calf.

Hi there!

Just finished my first sock on the machine (I have hand knitted 3 pair). I cranked 36 rows after the heel and it's not quite long enough for my 7 - 7 and a half size foot. Another 1 or 2 rows would do it i think. I'm using a dk acrylic yarn. Thanks for the tutorial Shelley ❤ (Edited to change 'have have knitted 3 pair' to read correctly as 'have hand knitted 3 pair')

Don’t take it apart. Attach it back into your machine and add as many rows as you want. Look for my video on how to attach your work back onto the machine. Put a guide row in with a contrasting colour to help you find the row of stitches to add onto the needles.

@LTM

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd already closed it up and had sewn the toe closed really well, so a bit too tricky to undo that to put it back on the machine. I agree that lifelines are very useful for that kind of thing. The socks I hand knit use german short rows for both the heel and the toe and you've got me wondering whether there's a way to do the toe on the machine using the gsr technique you demonstrate in this video. Difference is they start at the toe with a provisional cast on, so I'm not sure how to replicate that on the machine; might have to experiment a bit. Thanks again for the tutorial and excellent instructions.

I see a lot on the internet but sadly I’m a larger lady, but short and the ones I see would never fit. If I make it so it fits me, the shoulders will be to my elbows. Not sure how to do gauge as I’m not much of a hand knitter. Ideas welcome.

Try a bit tighter tension. Make sure you watch as ever needle passes the yarn guide and make sure the loop is down over the two red teeth before the needle picks up the new yarn.

I can’t read what you saying but if you are asking if you can make it on a 48 needle then sorry - no you cannot. I make my Christmas stockings on the bigger machine. Find that on my channel.

Grapes tutorial thanks but just wanted to know when you're knitting the hill do you switch to panel mode or do you continue in tube mode.? I'm going to make a practice s watch just for the heel to start off but will need to adapt it for 32 needle machine because I don't like how the sock is so stretched out when made on 22 needles. I have tiny feet but quite chunky calfs. So far I have tried just knitting the calf on the machine and knitting the rib heel and foot by hand, or knitting a tube sock on the machine and opening sone stitches to hand knit a heel. I always shape the toe by hand though and will continue to do that.

So sorry about that.

So I made a sock for my son. He has huge feet for a teen of age 13. Now the heel did not want to work with his feet. It was fine for me though since it was a size 13 sock for a 13 year old teen, it was big on me. I'm not sure what foot size on males this would be good for. Lol but I think since women have more slender feet that possibly if you dont have a thick foot around the heel area like they have you measure when hand knitting, that this might be a big tough for some males. I'll measure my sons foot in that area later and edit this comment and then measure mine as well. Other than that it took me two times to manage the ribbing. I went back 11 instead of 12 bc I kept flubbing it somehow. Lol
