Tabby Toe

*Are you an avid toe up sock knitter, but tired of those bumpy edges/ears with a traditional toe cast on? Try the Tabby Toe for great toe box!* **Free with coupon code:** TabbyToePlease *Unable to provide refunds if you miss the coupon code.* The Tabby Toe is a modification of the Pontoon Toe by the amazing Cat Bordhi, detailed in [New Pathways for Sock Knitters, Book One][1]. The basic shape of the Tabby Toe is the same, but with a different knitting technique (plus several tips and photos). After iterating through several changes to better suit myself, I want to share the Tabby Toe with other toe up sock fans. **Pattern specs** * Toe up pattern (you will create a toe box) * Written directions with photos * A streamlined 1 page version of the directions * Directions for magic loop and two circular needles * Recommendations for making a quick sample on DK/Worsted yarn **Yarn/Weight/Size** * Works for any weight of yarn and any toe cast of 4 or more stitches * Cast on the number of stitches that you would normally use for a standard wedge toe **FAQ** Why should I knit a Tabby Toe? Because it makes an excellent toe box! No nubby ears transitioning from the cast on to the increase stitches. I do two at a time socks, can I cast on two toes at the same time? Cast on the toe boxes on separately, then join socks for increases. This is my first sock toe cast on? Try a traditional wedge toe first ([VeryPink Knits video][2]). Then come back for a future sock. Wait, what is a wedge toe? A toe where you provisionally cast on stitches and start knitting in the round immediately with increases at each side of the toe.
