How to knit toe-up socks from self-striping yarn on 2 circular needles
I would like to show you how to knit toe-up socks from self-striping yarn using an additional cast-on for the heel. A single 50 g skein of self-striping yarn is enough to make a stylish pair of short socks knitted from the toe up. This tutorial is suitable for knitting children’s and women’s socks up to EU size 39.
Toe-up knitting allows you to use all the yarn without leftovers and avoids complicated calculations for the leg length, where even a small mistake may leave you without enough yarn to finish the project.
Knitting two socks at the same time on long circular needles significantly speeds up the process. In addition, the heel worked with an additional cast-on in the round helps preserve the beautiful color sequence of the self-striping yarn.
