Toe-up Basketcase Socks by katieintheworld

When you knit entrelac flat, and you want a straight edge on each side, you find you must knit triangles not only as a set up row, but on each edge of the piece too. Why not simply join the piece in the round and knit those side triangles as part of the stockinette bottom of the foot, I asked myself (or if you want to be very geometric about it, as one long parallelogram?) That way you can have a wonderful, soft, squishy, warm entrelac sock without having the pattern stitches on the sole of your foot.

Authors notes: Apparently, there are sock knitters and then there are all the other knitters. I’ve dabbled in different knitting techniques, but always with the intention of putting them into a sock. This is my first pattern.
