KNITTING SOCKS FROM THE TOE UP!

No more guessing if you will have enough yarn to make your socks just a little bit longer. And no more odds and ends of little bits of leftover yarn. By beginning your sock at the toe, you can knit until you run out of yarn. Easy shaping, easy measuring, perfect fit! You can even try on your sock as you go, so no surprises! It’s fun.
Supplies: Sock yarn of your choice and appropriate needles.
