Why learn this method?

about m1rknit

Hi, I’m Kim — the knitter, educator and designer behind M1R KNIT.

I learned to knit more than 40 years ago simply by watching my mom. Interestingly, I didn’t knit the way she did — I naturally developed what I later learned was the Russian, or Eastern knitting method.

Years later, when I became interested in designing my own patterns, I started paying much closer attention to how I knit. I explored different knitting styles and techniques before discovering the Norwegian knitting method — the method that felt the most natural, comfortable and intuitive in my hands.

Today, M1R KNIT is a knitting education and pattern brand focused on the Norwegian knitting method. Through clear, close-up tutorials and beginner-friendly to intermediate knitting patterns, I help knitters build confidence, improve their technique and put new skills into practice through thoughtfully designed projects.

I believe there is no single “correct” way to knit. The best method is the one that feels good in your hands. Norwegian knitting happened to be the one that felt right in mine.

The forethought heel construction eliminates the need for a traditional heel flap, heel turn, and gusset, making this a wonderful introduction to sock knitting.

The downloadable PDF includes clear written instructions, three adult sizes, finished measurements, yarn requirements, gauge information, and technique guidance to help you complete your project.

A complete step-by-step video tutorial is also available to accompany the pattern. Watch it here: https://m1rknit.com/tutorials/forethought-heel-socks-for-beginners

ABOUT THE PATTERN

Forethought Fingering Shortie Socks 02 are worked from the cuff down in the round using the magic loop knitting method.

The socks begin with a 2Ă—2 ribbed cuff, followed by a stockinette stitch leg. Contrasting waste yarn is used to mark the heel placement before continuing with the foot and toe. Once the toe is complete, the waste yarn is removed, and the forethought heel is worked using the same basic decrease construction as the toe.

Additional stitches are picked up at the sides of the heel opening to help prevent gaps and holes. Both the heel depth and foot length can be adjusted for a comfortable, personalized fit.
