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.

I've found that the method used on the Express Lane socks, which uses yarn-overs instead of wraps, is very neat at the corners. It only takes a short while to get used to the slip/slip/knit3tog working on the return rows, and I like it so much that I've printed out just that section of the pattern to use on other toe-up socks.

Thanks. I shall give it a try.
