Designer note: These socks are knit from the toe up. There are several ways to cast on for toe up socks - provisional, Eastern, Judy’s Magic Loop, etc. Select the method you prefer

These socks also feature a short-row heel which is an alternative to the heel flap and gusset used for most socks. The November 2007 - January 2008 issue of Cast On included a short row heel lesson.
