Toe-Up Sock Tutorial on the Circular Sock Machine | Short Row Toe Start | Erlbacher Gearhart Speedster

In this video, I’ll walk you through a complete toe-up sock tutorial using the Erlbacher Gearhart Speedster circular sock machine. This method starts with short row decreases and increases at the toe, allowing you to hang the full toe across all the cylinder stitches before cranking the rest of the sock.

We’ll go step-by-step from the toe, through the foot, heel, leg, and finally the cuff — all done toe-up. This is only my third successful attempt using this method, so I’ll share what I’ve learned so far and a few tips along the way.

Make sure to check out the other videos linked below from fellow CSM YouTubers who also demonstrate this toe-up sock technique!
