A great introduction to toe-up sock knitting, this pattern uses clever cast-ons and cast-offs, and features a reinforced gusseted heel for improved fit.

Using a DK weight yarn makes for warmer socks and quicker knitting. What’s not to love?

Written for DPNs, Magic Loop or Two Circs – use whichever you prefer. And there are sizes for the entire family – young kids up to the largest of adult feet.

Update December 2024:
An earlier version of the pattern had unclear instructions for the bind off. Have updated them in the pattern and uploaded that new version. If you have an earlier version, here’s the revised instruction:

Russian Lace Bind-Off:
K2, slip these two stitches back to left needle without twisting them, k them together through the back loop, k1; repeat from until a single stitch remains. Break yarn and pull the end through to secure.
