Look at my sad socks! 😩 Do you get this hole too where your instep, gusset, and heel flap meet in top down socks? If so, save this post to help avoid in the future! I learned this trick from Knitting Pipeline on youtube. Thanks Paula! • ❌ Knitting the first instep stitch normally after picking up gusset stitches leaves a gap and creates this hole ❌ Picking up the bar between these stitches seems like it would eliminate this gap but if you knit it normally or twisted, it still usually leaves a gap ✅ Try picking up the legs of the stitch below the bar. I like to just knit this as shown from my right needle. If you pick up from your left needle, ktbl for the same appearance. • Will you try this? Do you have other tricks for eliminating this hole? • #knittingreels #learntoknit #alwaysknitting #knittersoftheworld #socktober #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitting #socktawk #sockknittersofig #sockknitter #sockknittingaddict #operationsockdrawer #boxofsocks #knitspo #knitstagram #knittinginspiration #knittingtips #knittingtime #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handknitsocks #knitsocks #knitsofinstagram #sockenstricken #strikk #strikke #strikking #tricoter
