DESCRIPTION
This toe-up sock pattern was designed for my first ever skill building KAL (knit along) in August 2107. The socks feature a figure eight cast on, star toes, shadow wrapped short row heels and a suspended bind off and can have a short cuff, as shown, or a longer length cuff.
This pattern is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or circular needles with your favorite small circumference circular knitting method. The videos for this pattern are demonstrated on dpns.

My Process
My patterns are designed, not just written down, because I want your project to be a success!
Before knitting begins, I sketch ideas, test yarns, stitch swatches, create charts, do math and consider a variety of skills and construction methods. Each pattern uses standard knitting terminology and notations, is edited for technical accuracy and has a logical, easy-to-read format.
I do the work so you can relax and enjoy the knitting.
