Recommended Toe-Up Sock Patterns

[evilawyer]

I've decided to give toe-up socks a try for a change, but I can't find any patterns that I've been able to execute without big holes all along the turn of the heel. This might be okay if I was going for a fishnet effect, but I'm not. Does anyone have a pattern they'd recommend that has stitches to avoid this problem?

Thanks.

My absolute favorite short-row heel technique I got from the Misocrafty blog, which seems to be gone. However, I found it on the Internet Wayback Machine: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090629233501/http://misocrafty.squarespace.com/journal/2006/9/21/short-row-heel-tutorial.html?

It results in great heels, with no big holes.

Yes, I can see how that technique would make a huge difference. Thanks!
