This sock pattern and video tutorial has a rounded star toe and a fleegle heel. It uses 100 grams of regular sock yarn, and is sized for women and men.
Pattern + video tutorial, $8 US.
You can add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here.
Sizes: Women and Men, average widths, any shoe size
Needles: Size US 1 (2.5mm), I recommend using double-pointed needles for the toe, then you can stay with the DPNs or switch to the sock knitting needle style you prefer – 9” circulars, or magic loop, or FlexiFlips
Yarn: 100 grams of fingering weight yarn (also called sock yarn or 4ply yarn)
Additional Materials: tapestry needle for weaving ends, four ring stitch markers
Gauge: 8.5 stitches per inch
In the demonstration, I use much bigger needles and thicker yarn to make it easier to see the techniques used.
The yarns I used in my socks:
Solid color women’s socks- Knitologie Cozy Sock, colorway Citrus Squeeze, from a Knitcrate kit
Striped women’s socks – Turtlepurl sock yarn, colorway Paradise with orange toe/heel
The yarn I am using in my pink in-progress socks is Moon Tower Dye Works Trinton Sock in color Lantana.
The poncho on the mannequin is my Rodeo Drive Poncho, pattern and video tutorial here:
The yarn I used for demonstration (thicker than the pattern requires) is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran.
The needles I used are Knitter’s Pride Ginger DPNs and ChiaoGoo Blue Shorties.
The needles I use in my in-progress socks are ChiaoGoo Red Shorties (smaller needle sizes than the Blue set).
Love the new pattern. Idea for new video – how to make sure your sock stripes match when using self-striping yarn. Always a struggle for me!!
Deb – the yarn I used in my socks by Turtlepurl comes in two 50 gram, perfectly matching hanks so that it is easy to make a pair of “identical twin” socks. You can see their yarn shop here:

Love this pattern. I have several Turtle Purl skeins I’ve wanted to knit with this pattern ever since you “teased” it on Instagram. Can’t wait to knit the star toe. I’ve loved the Fleegle heel for several years and am so happy to hear you endorse it! Love all your videos and podcasts. Thank you ( and Casey).
