I was tired of trying to make toe up socks with a heel pattern that left holes around the edges of the heel flap. This is my pattern that accomplishes the same thing without the wraps or the holes.

This picture shows the checkered lace pattern down the leg, heel and instep of the sock - the extended version. The pattern has directions for the plain version with the pattern only down the leg of the sock. This is a cuff down pattern.

This picture shows the lace pattern running vertically down the leg, heel and instep of the sock - the extended version. The pattern has directions for the plain version with the pattern only down the leg of the sock. This is a cuff down pattern.

This picture shows the cable pattern down the leg, heel and instep of the sock - the extended version. The pattern has directions for the plain version with the pattern only down the leg of the sock. This is a cuff down pattern.

This simple lace pattern has small shells spirling down the leg of the sock. The pattern runs straight for the heel and the foot of the sock. If you wish to make the “fancy” version. With only 4 pattern rows, 3 being just plain knit and the other being the pattern row, its makes a great beginner lace pattern.

This was the pattern for Death By Socks #7. Everyone has had a lot of fun knitting this pattern for this game.

This is my own pattern that I’ve designed for Death By Socks #5. It is designed specifically for use with using any kind of sock yarn. This pattern is good for solid, self-striping, tweedy, hand dyed and any kind of coloration of yarn. It’s easy enough for beginners.
