Here’s a beginner-friendly toe-up version with a shaped heel:
🔄 4. Step-by-Step Instructions
🦶 Step 1: Toe
- Start with a magic ring or chain 4 and join to form a loop
- Round 1: 6 sc into the ring
- Round 2–4: Increase each round evenly until you have a circle that matches the width of your toes (usually 24–32 stitches depending on size)
🧦 Step 2: Foot Body
- Work in hdc rounds (or sc for a tighter fabric)
- Continue until the piece reaches from toe to where your ankle starts
- Optional: Work in BLO for stretch and texture
👟 Step 3: Heel
- Flatten your piece and work short rows back and forth over half the stitches
- Decrease at the ends to shape the heel cup, then increase to curve it back
- Slip stitch to rejoin in the round
👢 Step 4: Cuff/Leg
- Continue working up the ankle and leg to desired length
- Add ribbing at the top using BLO sc or FPDC/BPDC ribbing
🎀 Step 5: Finishing
- Fasten off and weave in ends with a yarn needle
- Try on and adjust for fit before making the second sock
