How to knit Toe Up Socks
Tippy Toe Socks
Watch the video and follow along with me, as I make adult size Toe Up Socks to fit UK Ladies shoe size 4-5, (Eau 37-38). With the pattern alongside, you'll be able to make your socks to your own size.
The pattern can be purchased on Ravelry and Etsy.
You can purchase the "Tippy Toes Sock Pattern" as a downloadable PDF download, that has the correct foot lengths and stitch calculations for the following adult foot sizes:
UK size 3, (Eau 36).
UK size 4-5, (Eau 37-38).
UK size 6, (Eau 39).
UK size 7-8, (Eau 40-41).
Material requirements are:
-
1 x 100 gram ball of 4 ply sock yarn.
-
2.5mm circular needle (80cm length).
-
Stitchmarkers.
I used King Cole - Zig Zag 4 ply Sock Yarn, Stylecraft - Head Over Heels 4 ply sock yarn, Regia Sock Yarn, Opal Sock Yarn and West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 ply to make various options of this pattern.
The pink/purple socks in the Video are made using Stylecraft - Zig Zag in shade Butterfly.
The sample sock made during the video was made using King Cole Zig Zag in shade Moorland, plus West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 ply in red, as a contrast.
In the video I show you step-by step how to knit a Toe Up Sock, using a circular needle and the magic loop method.
I'll be knitting English Style with the yarn in my right hand and the sock I'm making is a UK adult size 4 - 5 (Eau 37-38).
I'll be starting at the toes, using Judy's Magic Cast-On, the sock then has a German Short Row Heel and finishes with a nice stretchy cast off.
I'll be taking you through every step of the way as I knit my sock, but if you need a little more help, I also have in-depth videos on every technique used and will add the links along the way in the video and list them in the video description notes.
