This is a basic pattern for toe-up socks using the Magic Loop technique. You will need to be familiar with how to work the magic loop technique, as instructions on how to do that are not included in this pattern. (For detailed instructions on the basics of magic loop, check out our Basic Top-Down Socks on the Magic Loop pattern).

03/31/2017 - Pattern has been updated to correct an error in the Foot section telling how long to knit sock before starting gusset and heel turn, as well as adding clarification about how to figure sock foot length. Also corrected an error at the end of the heel flap regarding an extra stitch that gets eliminated as you begin the leg. Also did a little tweaking on wording in a few places.
