I’ve done it. I’ve caved. I resisted for as long as I could. But then I figured out the perfect-for-me sock recipe. And now I’m deep down the rabbit hole of sock knitting. Full-on sock addict. Team toe up!!

They look really comfy! I’m actually crocheting some socks for my brother (as a late birthday gift lol) although I had to pause for some pattern testing and selling

I’ve never knit socks I have to ask, what about the process is different when working toe up? Does it make a noticeable difference in the sock itself or is it just more convenient to work with? Just curious.

Personally I like that I can try the sock on as I go, and knit until I’m done or out of yarn.

My sock patterns are all toe up, I like that you can get all the fitting out of the way first then just zone out for the leg part. There is a minor difference in construction depending on which construction style you are doing

I love that! That sound much more practical to me

Maybe one of these days I’ll get out my knitting needles and test it out

To go the opposite of the norm, I prefer cuff down… (Although I’m going to try a short row toe start on my next pair thanks to @anon5108995 )
I have tried so many different types of starts and always end up with an unusable mess… So making a small circle and working down, then using Kitchener stitch to seam the toe is what I found works for me… I also usually don’t make super long socks, so I don’t need to worry about running out of yarn (that may change as my son’s get keep growing though hehe)… Another reason I like cuff down is I can make the toe area fit my exact shape easier (my pinky toe is really short compared to the 1st 3 which are all the same length)
