See pattern notes re: the decreases. Introduction to the toe-up sock. Cybersocks Denise's Toe-up Sock Instructor: Denise Powell We are fortunate to have Denise Powell, workshop and seminar specialist, as our instructor for this series of Cybersocks lessons - the toe-up sock. She starts us off with a preliminary assignment for different type of symmetrical increases so we can learn to make smooth increases in the toe.

Materials: You will need: * Yarn of your choice. I am using Paton's Classic Wool and will need 1 100 gm ball to complete the pair of socks. The lessons will also sometimes show a pair I knitted in Koigu Premium Merino, which required two skeins. * A set of double-pointed needles that will produce a nice firm gauge with your chosen yarn. Why Start Socks from the Toes Up? Don't worry about how many stitches to cast on - the answer is 8 (usually) for the square toe and 4 (always) for the pointy toe. When you start at the toe, you simply make toe increases until the toe section fits the foot.
