Simple Toe-Up Sock Using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine

Simple Toe-Up Sock Using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine

“With 'afterthought' heel, in two gauges.”

We love knitting socks from the toe up—it lets you use every last inch of yarn! And knitting the heels in afterwards means that they are easy to replace later if they wear out—plus it makes it simple to add a zippy contrast color.

Be sure to see the "Knitter's Notes" for a helpful perspective.

Shown in Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine or Regia 6-ply

This pattern is filled with tutorials and step by step guides for Kitchener stitch, knitting socks on two circulars and the afterthought heel. New socks and new skills—great idea!

Yarn Source

Medium-width adult: Up to 10"/25cm foot on 8"/20cm cuff. For a longer foot, knit a shorter cuff–or purchase more yar

Approx. 375 yds/343m of a fingering-weight sock yarn (includes approx. 85 yds/78m for contrasting heel and toe, if desired).
Shown in 2 skeins Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine (433 yds/400m each) in colors 1207 (grey) and 1281 (red); 1 skein each.
Larger men's shoe sizes might require an extra skein, especially if longer cuffs are desired.


Set of 5 double-point needles or 2 circular needles, US 1 (2.25mm) or size to obtain gauge.
1yd/m smooth waste yarn in same weight, contrasting color, to place heel.
Locking marker.
Darning needle to finish.
Reinforcing yarn, if desired.

Approx. 32 sts = 4"/10cm in stockinette stitch in the round. Note: For a sock that hugs the foot and wears well, choose a needle size that gives you a firm fabric.

While socks can be knit in any yarn that will accommodate the necessary gauge, consider how you plan on wearing these socks as you choose your yarn. For comfy, wear-inside-the-house socks, look for a yarn that is soft and that has some animal fiber for warmth. If you're looking to knit a pair that will be sturdy and long-lasting, consider yarns that are specifically designed for sock knitting. These yarns often have a tighter twist which knits up a strong fabric that resists pilling.
