French Sock Toe // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates the French Toe (from Weldon's Practical Stocking Knitter, published 1886). This toe requires a multiple of 6 sts, so how to work decrease set up rows that flow into the regular sock toe decreases is explained, as well as how to modify the toe to get the exact length you need. While the toe is demonstrated with the starting point at the center of the instep, you can start it at the center of the sole, if you would prefer the reverse side of the sock facing up. The original instructions from Weldon's Practical Stocking Knitter are as follows: "This is a pretty toe, but rather short, due allowance must therefore be made for it in knitting the foot. The stitches are to be divided equally upon three needles, with the first stitch of the first needle exactly in the centre of the foot. 1st round -- Knit 1, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over, knit to within 3 stitches of the end of the needle, knit 2 together, knit 1, work similarly upon each of the other two needles. 2nd round -- Plain. Repeat these two rounds until the toe is reduced to 12 stitches; place them equally upon two needles and cast off.
