Skoosh Socks - Toe Up

Welcome to our easy and beginner-friendly toe-up sock pattern, crafted specifically for double pointed needles, although it can also be adapted for use with small circulars or the magic loop method. This versatile pattern offers instructions for three different sizes to accommodate every foot:

Small (56 sts), Medium (64 sts), and Large (72 sts).

This innovative toe-up sock pattern is designed to be worked in one continuous piece, guiding you seamlessly from the toe all the way to the cuff. To begin, you’ll use a two-needle cast-on technique that sets the foundation for your socks. Start by knitting the toe of your socks, then progress through the foot, the gusset, and the heel before moving on to the leg section. The pattern concludes with a stretchy cast-off method to finish the cuffs comfortably.

All instructions for this lovely sock pattern are presented in a user-friendly written format, making it easy for knitters of all experience levels to follow along.

The inspiration for this delightful sock design comes from my beloved Skoosh! Shawl. These socks are so enjoyable to knit that they can be aptly described as a pure skoosh! This charming term translates to ‘something very easy’ for those who might not be familiar with Scottish dialect.

My hope with this pattern is to provide knitters, whether novice or seasoned, with a thorough understanding of how to create toe-up socks featuring a traditional heel flap and gusset construction. Dive into the world of sock knitting and discover the joy that comes with making your very own cozy and stylish pair of socks!
