Option 1: Wedge toe with decreases every 2nd round (square)

For the numbers to work out as given below, stitch number before starting the toes needs to be a multiple of 4.

BOR:
The toe starts after the instep sts. PM after the instep sts and after the sole sts.

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:
Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

size	44	48	52	56	60
Rnds / cinching	10	12	14	16	18
Rnds / Kitchener	11	13	15	16	18

Rnds / Kitchener	29	30	32	34

Rnd 1: K1, ssk, k to 3 sts before m, k2tog, k1; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)
Rnd 2: Knit.
Rep these 2 rnds until 32 sts remain, then repeat just rnd 1 (the dec rnd) 4 times more. (16 sts)
Break the yarn and thread it through the remaining sts twice, pulling them tight.

If you prefer closing the sts in Kitchener stitch, stop the dec rnds above when as many sts remain as given in the table below.

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
Sts remaining for Kitchener	16	16	16	20	20
Original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80
Sts remaining for Kitchener	20	20	24	24	24
Original stitch count	84	88	92	96
Sts remaining for Kitchener	28	28	28	28

Next Rnd: *Ssk, k to 2 sts before m, k2tog; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)
This final decrease rnd helps prevent the little “ears” that Kitchener stitch tends to leave.
Join the sts using Kitchener stitch. I have a tutorial for that here: https://knittedinswitzerland.ch/?p=2492

Option 2: Flower toe (round)

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:
Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

Option 3: French toe (round)

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:
Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
cinching	16	19	22	22	25
Kitchener	20	23	23	26	29
Original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80
cinching	28	28	31	31	31
Kitchener	32	32	35	38	38
Original stitch count	84	88	92	96
cinching	34	37	37	40
Kitchener	41	44	44	47

For the French toe you need a stitch count that is a multiple of 3. If that is not the case for your socks, decrease or increase sts a few rnds before the toe starts so you have as many sts as give in the table below.

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
Sts before the toe	42	48	54	54	60
Original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80
Sts before the toe	66	66	72	78	78
Original stitch count	84	88	92	96
Sts before the toe	84	90	90	96

Move the BOR marker so it is in the middle of the instep sts. Then divide your sts into three equal parts with markers. (see Table at the end of this document)

Rnd 1: *K1, ssk, k to 3 sts before m, k2tog, k1; rep from * 2 times more. (6 sts dec’d)
Rnds 2-3: Knit.

Rep these three rnds until you have as many sts remaining as given in the table below. End with rnd 1 (the dec rnd).

size	44	48	52	56	60
cinching	6	6	6	6	6
Kitchener	18	18	18	18	18
size	64	68	72	76	80
cinching	6	6	6	12	12
Kitchener	18	24	24	24	24
size	84	88	92	96
cinching	12	12	12	12
Kitchener	24	30	30	30

Break the yarn and thread it through the remaining stitches twice, pulling them tight.

Option 4: Star toe (pointy)

Divide your sts into 4 equal parts with stitch markers (see Table at the end of this document)

For unintrusive decrease lines, use k2tog. To make them more visible, use ssk.

For very high stitch counts (80 sts and more) this toe gets VERY long, you might choose a different toe in that case.

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

Break the yarn and thread it through the remaining stitches twice, pulling them tight.

Option 5: Spiral Toe (pointy)

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

size	44	48	52	56	60
Rnds	18	20	22	24	26
size	64	68	72	76	80
Rnds	28	30	32	34	36
size	84	88	92	96
Rnds	36	38	40	42

Divide your sts into 4 equal parts with markers. (see Table at the end of this document)

Rnd 1: *Ssk, k to m; rep from *. (4 sts dec’d)
Rnd 2: Knit, moving all markers (including the BOR marker) one st to the left.

Rep these 2 rnds until you have as many sts left as given in the table below.

size	44	48	52	56	60
sts	8	8	8	8	8
size	64	68	72	76	80
sts	8	8	8	8	8

Rnds	25	27	29	30	32
size	84	88	92	96
Rnds	34	35	37	39

Rnd 1: *K2tog, k to m; rep from *. (4 sts dec’d)
Rnd 2: Knit.

Rep these 2 rnds until you have as many sts left as given in the table below.

original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
decrease to	12	16	16	16	20
original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80
decrease to	20	20	20	24	24
original stitch count	84	88	92	96
decrease to	24	28	28	28

Then repeat just Rnd 1 (the decrease rnd) until you have 8 sts left.

Break the yarn and thread it through the remaining stitches twice, pulling them tight.

Option 7: Wedge toe (pointy)

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

PM after the instep and after the sole sts.
Rnd 1: *K1, ssk, k to 3 sts before m, k2tog, k1; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)
This is your decrease rnd. Repeat it every 4th rnd as often as given in the table below for your size, then every 3rd rnd, every 2nd rnd, then every rnd until 8 sts remain. All other rnds are worked in St st (k every rnd).

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
4th Rnd	0	0	0	0	1
3rd Rnd	1	1	2	2	2
2nd Rnd	3	3	3	3	3
Every Rnd	4	5	5	6	6

4th Rnd	1	1	1	1
3rd Rnd	2	2	2	2
2nd Rnd	5	5	6	6
Every Rnd	10	11	11	12

Break the yarn and thread it through the remaining stitches twice, pulling them tight.

If you prefer closing the toes with Kitchener stitch, work the decreases above only until you have as many sts left as given in the table below.

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
Remaining stitches for Kitchener	16	16	16	20	20
Original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80
Remaining stitches for Kitchener	20	20	24	24	24
Original stitch count	84	88	92	96
Remaining stitches for Kitchener	28	28	28	28

Next Rnd: *Ssk, k to 2 sts before m, k2tog; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)
This final decrease rnd helps prevent the little “ears” that Kitchener stitch tends to leave.
Join the sts using Kitchener stitch. I have a tutorial for that here: https://knittedinswitzerland.ch/?p=2492

Option 8: Anatomical Wedge Toe (for a pronounced big toe)

Place the BOR marker so it is in the middle of the sole sts and divide the sts into four equal parts with stitch markers. (see Table at the end of this document).

For the numbers to work as given, your stitch count must be a multiple of 4.

The following table tells you how many rnds this toe has. You can convert the rnds to cm or inches as follows:
Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 10
Number of rnds in 10 cm

Number of rnds in the toe
—————————————– * 4
Number of rnds in 4 inches

size	44	48	52	56	60
Rnds Kitchener	11	13	15	16	18

Rnds Kitchener	20	22	23	25	27

Rnds Kitchener	29	30	32	34

Right Foot

The decreases are going to start happening on the outside of the foot before being introduced to the inside of the foot.

Dec-Rnd 1: K to 3 sts before m, k2tog, k1, sm, k1, ssk, k to end. (2 sts dec’d)

This is your Dec-Rnd. Repeat it every 4th rnd as often as given in the table below, then every 3rd rnd, then every 2nd. Work all other rnds in St st (k every rnd).

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
4th Rnd	0	0	0	0	1
3rd Rnd	1	1	2	2	2

Dec-Rnd 2: *K to 3 sts before m, k2tog, k1, sm, k1, ssk; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)

Repeat these 2 rnds once more, then work just Dec-Rnd 2 as often as given in the table below.

Original stitch count	44	48	52	56	60
Every Rnd	4	5	5	6	6
Original stitch count	64	68	72	76	80

	24	24	26	26

Next Rnd: *Ssk, k to 2 sts before m, k2tog; rep from * once more. (4 sts dec’d)
This final decrease rnd helps prevent the little “ears” that Kitchener stitch tends to leave.
K to first m, then join the sts using Kitchener stitch. I have a tutorial for that here: https://knittedinswitzerland.ch/?p=2492
