Chilton Socks video tutorial
$8.50
Whether you're knitting your first pair of socks or would just like to grow your confidence with sock knitting, the Chilton Socks video tutorial is made with you in mind! The video tutorial is made as a companion to the Chilton Socks pattern (you will still need to buy the pattern if you have not already). It is a ~50 minute tutorial which walks you through the following details of the pattern:
- Picking yarn and needles, including pros and cons of different methods of working socks (DPNs/magic loop/6" circulars/2 circular needles) and including mohair or not
- Detailed instructions and demonstrations for each step of the pattern, including the ruffle, cables, heel flap and gusset, and anatomical toe
Technique: This tutorial is demonstrating the techniques of the pattern using the 2 circular needles method of working socks, so I recommend that any first-time sock knitters plan to use this technique as well (for this, I would recommend using 2 circular needles of the same size and cable length between 16–24"). You're also welcome to use a different technique if you're already familiar with a specific method of working in the round for small circumferences, but it may make the tutorial less straightforward to follow.
Difficulty level: I would recommend this tutorial and pattern for knitters who already know the basics of knitting and have completed a few projects, but want to try something more difficult and make their first pair of socks. The tutorial does not go into detail for basic techniques such as casting on, knitting and purling, decreases, and picking up stitches.
Note: Please make sure to select the correct option of "Pattern included" depending on whether you've already bought the Chilton Socks pattern or not!

What past customers say
[The video tutorial was] so so helpful. This was my first time doing a heel flap and gusset and the video really helped me understand the construction. I really appreciated being able to refer to them.
This was my first time doing a ruffle with knitting and first completed project with cables[...] I found it very easy to understand the pattern but I'm more of a visual learner so the video helped a lot with the ruffle part.
As a beginner, Emma's paid KAL provided the perfect platform for me to learn how to knit my first pair of socks. The video tutorials were clear and easy to follow along.
