Toe-up socks— the fit of a traditional “heel flap and gusset” sock— a fun fade…. All the things I love! Many toe-up socks that I’ve knit have come close to the fit of the heel flap and gusset technique, but they’re always missing something. I figured out what it was and reverse-engineered my favorite fit!

Are you wondering, “But why are we fading into Neverland?” These socks are perfect for those two lonely— maybe One of a Kind—skeins (aka Lost Boys) you have loitering in your stash, or that just went up for sale on your favorite shop. You know they’ll look fantastic together, you just aren’t sure how to get them to play nicely. This is their chance to shine!

Pattern includes photo and video tutorials, a simple chart, and clear written instructions.

Great for the advanced/adventurous beginner OR the seasoned sock knitter looking to freshen up their queue.
