Bare Bones Toe-up Socks

This pattern is a percentage method based on foot measurements and your gauge. Toe- up socks, one at a time, with 2 circular needles. Use any size yarn from fingering to worsted.

The pattern was filtered, with permission, from a personal pattern designed by Cathy Chesnut.

It gives guidelines for which needles to start with for each weight of yarn. It also gives you options from a plain sock through various ribbings and to feather and fan cuffs.

The instructions expect the knitter to do some thinking and a wee bit of math.

I am constantly trying to make my patterns better. With this in mind I've made a few changes to this pattern. All having to do with making the ankle fit better. Changes include working to 55% of length before starting gussets, adding the needed length before starting the heel turn and leaving a bit more give after the heel is done.

Proceeds from this pattern will be going to the emergency fund of our local SPCA which just took in over 60 animals from one person.
