Both socks are started and completed at the same time, which means
they’re basically identical.
With the toe-up technique, knitters never run out of yarn before the
socks are done.
With 2-at-a-Time Socks, Melissa Morgan-Oakes delighted knitters by revealing her
ingenious technique for creating two socks at the same time on a single circular needle. Never again would Second Sock Syndrome plague weary knit-ters. And — amazingly — every sock has a perfect match, every time. In Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks, Morgan-Oakes makes her unique technique even better by blending the 2-at-a-time method with a toe-up knitting approach . . . another breakthrough in the knitter’s quest to craft the perfect pair of socks.

15 PATTernS... JuST The beginningMorgan-Oakes offers 15 original patterns for scrumptious socks that can be created with the
toe-up, 2-at-a-time approach. Graceful, swirling cables for those who appreciate the feminine; funky “peppercorn” patterns for those seeking fun; sheer, shimmery lightweight options for nights on the town; thick, ribbed socks for a cold winter’s day. There are socks for women, men, children and infants, as well as patterns to accommodate every skill level. For each pattern, Morgan-Oakes provides both row-by-row instructions and stitching charts for different sizes of feet, and inspiring four-color photographs of the finished product.
These patterns are only the beginning. Once a knitter has mastered Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time, the technique can be applied to any of the thousands of existing sock patterns! With this handy reference as a guide, knitters will find that it’s easy to knock anyone’s socks off . . . and to do it toe-up and 2-at-a-time!

2-at-a-Time Socks
Say goodbye forever to Second Sock Syndrome! Knitting one sock is fun and rewarding, but finishing the second one can be boring. Now an easy-to-learn new technique enables sock stitchers to work on two socks at one time, finishing both parts of the pair on the same day. Step-by-step photographs illustrate the method of casting on and knitting two socks together on one long circular needle. Best of all, any sock pattern can be adapted to this innovative 2-at-a-time technique, so the fun doesn’t end with the 15 original patterns in this book. Lonely, abandoned single socks are now a thing of the past!
