The Toes

 
 

Step Three

Now it's time to begin your toe increases. You can do any increase that you like, but I prefer the M1 increase.

Round 1: Knit into the front of the first stitch, and without slipping the stitch off, knit into the back of the same stitch. Then slip the old stitch off your left needle. This is a M1 (make one) increase.

Now knit across to the second to last stitch, and M1 again.

Knit the last stitch and turn your work .

Repeat the same increases on the next needle.

At this point, you can begin to see the toes forming a pocket between the circular needle cables.

Hold the needles so that the pocket begins forming and pointing down.

Round 2: Knit all stitches for the next round.

Repeat these two rounds until you have a total of 64 stitches (32 on each side).
