2 Socks at-a-time on 2 Circulars

You asked for this tutorial, so here it is! Here’s how to avoid “second sock syndrome”. This series of seven videos guides you through knitting two socks at the same time, using two circular needles.

Materials Needed:
• 1 skein/hank of worsted-weight yarn, about 120-150 yards
• 2 size US 6 circular needles, at least 24″ in length (longer is better)
• Tapestry needle
• Gauge – 6 stitches to the inch in stockinette stitch

Pattern + links to seven instructional videos is $8.00 via PayPal.

  1. Staci,

    Thank you so much for the 2 Socks at-a-time on 2 Circulars tutorials. Your instructions are the best. I’m enjoying Very Pink, it is most informative and so easy to find the information you need. Very Pink is my #1 place to visit. So happy that I found it. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next.

    Blessings,
    Linda Lott

  3. These videos are awesome! Like the poster before me, I tried to do this from written directions and thought it impossible. Your demonstrations make it seem much, much clearer and easier. I may just attempt it again, thanks to your wonderful, professional teaching style. I’m very impressed with your site overall. Glad to have found it!

  5. Hi:

    YOur magic loop videos for socks are wonderful.. but you had a video that explained how to knit 2 pair of socks at same time on magic loop..
    It seems to have disappeared…I would dearly love to see this video.
    Do you think you could post this video again?

    watching and learning

  6. When I stumbled across your videos I was amazed that finally someone could explain this in detail. I was extremely frustrated with the two circulars and kept making numerous mistakes when making the socks, or switching to the wrong needles lol, I had no trouble with the double points of which numerous socks were made by me. You are the first person I have seen that is extremely thorough. thank you so much for doing this to help those that really need it. It’s a blessing. :)

  8. I love your videos. I used the magic loop series to do a pair of socks that I started on dpns — I’ll never go back, I don’t think.

  9. I’ve purchased the 2 Socks at-a-time on 2 Circulars
    pattern today. I was wondering if there is some way to copy the videos to view on my dvd player. My (older) eyes don’t care to view videos on a computer screen. Also if my computer goes down, I wouldn’t be able to watch the videos.

  10. Hi Karen – no, there is no way to put the videos on DVD from your computer, but you can make it so that the videos are easier to see on the computer. At the bottom of the YouTube video, you’ll see the number “360p”. If you click on that and select “720p” you will get HD quality video, which is much easier to see. Also, at the bottom right of the video, you’ll see a box with four arrows pointing out. If you click that, you will get a full-screen video.

    Hope that helps!

  12. I love your tutorials, they are excellent, not boring, covers the stitches beautifully. Some videos I am ready to turn off as they drone on and one before they actually even start knitting. NOT YOU, thanks so much for that.
    I want to purchase the 2 at a time sock pattern and tut you have for sale. My question is if I use two size 6 needles, and learn this will I be able from your pattern to use other size needles and will I also be able to learn how to knit other sock patterns this way from learning the basics or will I have to look for two at a time patterns only?

  13. Thank you Staci! I have been trying to teach myself to knit for far too long. You have been able to show how easy it is and still have a sense of humor. I am referring all the knitters that I know to your website. Love your white cup. lol

  14. Dear Staci,

    Thank you so very much for this wonderful video and your easy to follow step-by-step downloaded pattern on “knitting 2 socks on circular needles”. I followed your instructions and watched your video to the letter and I’m very proud to say that I completed my first pair of socks on 2 pair of circular needles and this is my new and chosen way to knit socks from now on. Staci you increased my knowledge and confidence as a knitter and I just love all of your instructional videos.

    Annie

    P.S. Would you recommend knitting 2 gloves on circular knitting needles at the same time? I think I’d like to try this. Would you recommend this or not?
