These were fun to make - I never got tired of looking at the color- KittnKolor (etsy.com/shop/kittnkolor) makes this two color, self-striping yarn in several variations, and the orange is a semi-solid, so any of her strong contrasting yarn would work with the self-striping. Bits of the orange knit as half rows throughout the sock brings it all together.The toe color is started before the toe shaping, so the toe is a bit exaggerated, thus the name!

This pattern is a sneak peek to the book in the works-
