This sock is worked toe-up in the round, starting with the figure 8 cast on the toe that is shaped with increases. The body of the sock is knit entirely in St st, until the heel which is then shaped using German short rows. Once that is completed, the sock is resumed and finished with 2x2 ribbing worked on smaller size needle.
