Learn to knit socks using Hiya Hiya Flyers (or Addi Flexi Flips) method of knitting in the round.

In this tutorial we will walk through each step of knitting socks on Hiya Hiya Flyers/Addi Flexi Flips including: casting on and setting up, knitting a heel flap and gusset, knitting the toe, and how to close up your toe using the Kitchener Stitch.

This tutorial does not have a written pattern to accompany it. If you want a written pattern I suggest that you use Vanilla Socks on Magic Loop by Crazy Sock Lady Designs that can be purchased on Ravelry & Etsy. (Links below) The layout of how the socks are worked up are the same as Magic Loop. (Needle 1/Needle 2) 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 Magic Loop pattern to follow along it is available for only $2.00, you can do so here:

Keep in mind if you use the Magic Loop written pattern the times in the pattern will not be the same as for this tutorial - see below for the times for this tutorial.
