Mash-Up Magic Toe-Up Socks Recipe (MUMTU Socks)

NOTE: I uploaded a new version of the PDF document 8/3/08, which includes images and corrects a few non-substantive errors. The original PDF has no substantial errors in terms of pattern construction, so you do *not* have to download the new version if you don't want to. This customizable pattern is a basic recipe to make great fitting toe-up socks for any size foot and with any weight yarn – knitting two socks at a time, using magic loop technique, and featuring a gusset and heel flap with Eye of Partridge stitch. I have developed an in-depth, [pictorial workshop on Aesthetic Entanglementz][1] for anyone new to sock knitting (or this construction) who wants a little more guidance! This is not an original pattern. I combine all my favorite bits from several freely available patterns and re-write them into one, comprehensive, pattern for magic loop construction. I draw most heavily on two patterns: Barbara Tolleson’s “[Knitting Basic Toe-Up Socks Using the ‘Magic Loop’ Circular Method][2]” (scroll to the bottom of the-page) and Judy Gibson’s “[You’re Putting Me On"][3] Socks. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
