Beautifully constructed and brilliantly adaptable, our Toe-Up Socks pattern are an all-time favorite, sized for everyone from little kids all the way up. You'll love knitting socks from toe to cuff!

• A quintessential toe-up construction, you can choose to start out with Judy’s Magic Cast On—just follow along with our great step-by-step tutorial!—to create a no-seam, no-graft toe. Then work the foot, shape the simple flap and gusset heel, and finish with the leg up to the top edge. You can try on your sock throughout, one of the many pleasures of knitting toe-up socks! The tops of the feet and the legs are nice and stretchy thanks to your choice of 2×2 ribbing or an easy Mock Cable Rib… Pretty and practical, either way.

• Cast on with our lovable, machine-washable Stormy Superwash Sock yarn, just right for soft and snug handknit socks. Made with 85% fine superwash merino wool and 15% recycled nylon, a sturdy 4-ply construction gives this fingering-weight yarn lasting strength and resilient springiness to stand up to everyday wear and countless trips through the washer. Toasty warm when it’s cold and stormy yet breathable when it’s hot and steamy, it’s the perfect sock yarn for any forecast!

• Pick from a luminous palette of atmospheric colors and grab just two or three balls to make a pair of Toe-Up Socks… And don’t be surprised if you end up with a whole rainbow of socks from golden sun to storm cloud gray!

NOTE: This pattern was originally published in the now-out-of-print book More Last Minute Knitted Gifts, by Purl Soho co-owner Joelle Hoverson, and then was released online in our Posy yarn, which we no longer carry. This new version of the pattern has an updated yarn selection, a slightly denser row gauge, an expanded size range, and a helpful accompanying tutorial for Judy's Magic Cast On!
