This pattern is my take on a toe up vanilla sock. I have reverse engineered my cuff down socks so that I can knit them toe up with a heel flap and gusset. I wanted to be able to do this so that I can make the most of the yarn that I have.

This pattern has been updated and there are now two pattern files:

DB Toe Up Socks V1 - this is the first version of the pattern where the heel has more stitches that a traditional cuff down sock. I have improved the heel technique so that it truly represent a cuff down sock. I decided to leave the 1st version pdf on the listing as I do have customers that commented that the bigger heel fits them much better that the traditional cuff down version.

DB Toe Up Socks V2 - this is the second version of the pattern where the heel has exactly the same amount of space and stitches as a traditional cuff down heel flap and gusset sock. This pattern version has its own video tutorials included to assist you in the techniques used in this pattern.
