My friend likes to knit on circular needles BUT has issues with toes on socks. I designed this sock with a toe and heal that is worked on straight needles, while the rest is done on a small circular. No seams.

Knitting from the toe up means you can use more of your yarn, as you knit the leg until you have used half of it (weigh what’s left on the kitchen scales). You can also try them on as you go along.

This pattern takes 100g of standard sock yarn.

Size options are included in the pattern. Remember that socks should be a 1/2” or so smaller than your actual foot to get a snug fit.
