Beginning at the toe has many advantages: custom fit, last minute size adjustments and, for your peace of mind, the option, once past the ankle, of continuing to work up the leg until you have used up almost half of the yarn and know that you have sufficient yarn for the second sock. Shown here with at Garter Cuff and Crenellated (Picot) Bind-Off.
