Introducing our charming toe-up sock pattern featuring a German Short Row Heel, designed specifically for the magic loop technique! This pattern is perfect for sock enthusiasts looking to elevate their knitting skills with an eye-catching design. In this project, Needle 1 will be dedicated to the top of the foot and the front of the leg, while Needle 2 will focus on the bottom of the foot, heel, and back of the leg.

If you're searching for a delightful way to add a festive touch to your sock collection, this pattern includes a beautiful touch of colorwork at both the toe and the cuff. I utilized a vibrant holiday yarn that I dyed several years ago, and upon revisiting it, I realized it deserved a special spotlight. The cheerful colors and intricate design make these socks a fantastic holiday gift or a cozy treat for yourself!

Before diving into your first sock, it’s advisable to weigh your contrasting color (CC) yarn. This simple step will help you keep track of your usage and ensure you have enough yarn for the second sock. After each CC section, weigh your yarn again to maintain balance in your designs. This pattern is not only fun to knit but also an excellent way to learn about color management in sock making.

Get ready to experience the joy of knitting with this toe-up sock pattern, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a unique pair that stands out. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern is a wonderful addition to your knitting library. Whether you’re making these socks for yourself or as a gift, you’ll appreciate the combination of technique, creativity, and warmth!
