DK Weight Sock Toe Series: The Round Toe

The Round Toe gets its shape by decreasing stitches evenly spaced in a decreasing round. Then it is followed by a set number of plain knitted rounds. This pattern repeats with the decreasing stitches moving closer together as the toe nears completion. The Round Toe is the shortest toe by the length in The DK Weight Sock Toe Series.
