Easy Toe Up Socks

The advantage of this toe is that it starts as a small rectangle and gives a different fit than the usual toe (please see the picture).

My friend likes to knit on circular needles BUT has issues with toes on socks. I designed this sock with a toe and heal that is worked on straight needles with no seams, while the rest is done on a small circular. You can of course use any circular method you like. If you would prefer short row toe and heel please see my Lacy Short Row Toe Up Socks.

Knitting from the toe up means you can use more of your yarn, as you knit the leg until you have used half of it (weigh what's left on your kitchen scales). You can also try them on as you go along.

This pattern takes 100g of standard sock yarn.

Size options are included in the pattern. Remember that socks should be a 1/2" or so smaller than your actual foot to get a snug fit.
