NO GRAFT Cuff Down Spiral Sock Toe // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates the cuff down spiral sock toe, sometimes referred to as a star toe or round toe (other sock toes go by those names, as well). This toe has 4 decreases per round, evenly distributed, which forms the spiral. It does not have to be grafted to finish it off. The video provides an overview of the construction, how to know when to start the toe, how to knit it, and how to finish it off. In addition, tips for how to read your knitting as you are knitting the toe are given, as well as how to compensate for errors.
