“Working from the toe up lets you make the sock any size you like.” “This toe-up sock also serves as a lesson in stranded knitting.” page 210 of Circular Knitting Workshop

The pattern makes a sample sock, using 66 yds of Pond Blue, and 25 Yds of Sunshine in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport Solid. There is also instructions for making the same sock from top down (on page 213).
