Customize a Wedge Toe for a Better Fit // Technique Tuesday

The standard wedge toe follows every decrease round with a plain round, creating a trapezoidal-shaped toe. This video demonstrates two variations on the standard wedge toe which distributes the plain rounds differently, in order to provide a better fit for people with a less angled toe shape (wider toes, or toes that are more similar in length).

Note: I first came across the 4321 toe decrease variation in Stephanie Pearl-McFee's 22 May 2014 blog post, which you can read here: https://www.yarnharlot.ca/2014/05/22/
