This week I wanted to continue the Socktoberfest fun with a closer look at toe-up sock knitting methods. I will readily admit that this is not a genre of knitting I have that much experience in -- certainly not as much as I do in cuff-down knitting of socks.
So when I say that my favorite cast on for toe-up socks is what's known as the Turkish Cast On, it's because I don't really have a lot of experience with other options. I like it because it's easy, though, and you don't need any waste yarn as you do with some cast on methods that require provisionally casting on some stitches to begin. For that reason I think it's great for people just starting out knitting toe-up socks.
But I would absolutely love to hear your opinion. What other cast ons should I be experimenting with? What's your favorite cast on for toe-up socks? Or are you one who's never knit toe-up socks before? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
