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.

That sounds very good, as I've got one foot that wide by the toes but very narrow at the heel. Thanks for the link!

I second the Fleegle heel and also rec her short-row method whole-heartedly.

(As you have noticed, there are many many answers to your question. Ain't knitting grand? *g*)

Thanks for the links. So many ways....

Grand and highly personal. Great stuff.

I third that recommendation. It's the technique I use for all my increases. I would try it for sock heels, but I have my favourite sock heel. ^_~
