This toe up sock pattern is a combination of methods I discovered (and dreamt about) while knitting many pairs of socks and learning something new as I knit each pair. This sock pattern is not an easy first time sock pattern as it is a basic recipe and does not spell out each row knitted.
Wind your chosen sock yarn into two balls preferably center pull. I place each ball within a ziplock bag for ease of working from two balls at once.

Use one US 2 circular needle 32-40 inches in length. Knit two socks while keeping the socks close together on your needle with a magic loop on either side while knitting your socks Half of the stitches are the sock bottom and the other half are the sock top.

2017 Refuse to try magic loop?!? Use two 24” circular needles, one for the sock bottoms, one for the sock tops.
