praise for Toe-Up!:

"A veritable toe-up masterclass complete with helpful worksheets, well-illustrated technique tutorials, and 15 fresh and varied patterns from someone who is truly passionate about socks."
- Clara Parkes, KnittersReview.com, author of The Knitter’s Book of Yarn and The Knitter’s Book of Wool

"Any knitter will succeed and thrive under Chrissy’s tutelage in this comprehensive and impeccably organized course in toe-up socks, with its generous menu of heels, toes, custom worksheets, and stunning original designs."
- Cat Bordhi, author of New Pathways for Sock Knitters and Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles

patterns

There are 15 patterns in Toe-Up!. Click here for a virtual fashion show of all the socks, modeled by the author and her husband.

The first section of the book, called Family Socks, includes 7 patterns designed for a wide range of knitting abilities and foot sizes. (Click on each thumbnail for more information about that sock.)



The second section, called Fancy Socks, includes 8 patterns designed to show off your knitting prowess. These socks, due to their complexity, are sized to fit a Women's M (7-1/2" to 8-1/2" foot circumference). If needed, there is a section on resizing in Chapter 1 of the book.



worksheets

One of the unique features of Toe-Up! involves the use of worksheets to custom-fit your toe-up socks using your favorite toes and heels. Complete worksheets are included in the book, but you can also download a set of blank worksheets to use with the book. You will need your book to fill them out until you get the hang of the formulas.
