Toe Up Spiral Sock Toe // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates the toe up version of the spiral sock toe, sometimes referred to as a star toe or round toe (other sock toes go by those names, as well). This toe starts with a closed cast on, such as Judy's Magic CO (figure-8 or Turkish CO can be used, instead). It has 4 increases, evenly distributed, in each increase round, which forms the spiral. The video provides an overview of the construction, a demonstration of the process, including how to read your knitting for visual clues to determine when/whether to increase, as well as how to fix a common mistake.
