This sock, for A Star is Shorn’s new sock yarn (Parallax), uses some oldies but goodies to give a new sock pattern some familiar beats. They’re perfect for tip-toeing around! Shhh!

The pattern includes a chart and written instructions.

A step-by-step photo tutorial on the picot cast-on edge used in these top-down socks is included at the end of the pattern.

The sock finishes with a rounded toe, which doesn’t require Kitchener stitches. Instead, like a hat, the yarn is drawn through the remaining stitches and pulled tight.
