I prefer a rounded toe, given I like my toes to spread naturally. If I’m not wearing hand-knitted socks, then I’m wearing Injinji socks. I altered the standard sock shape a little bit, so it wasn’t so constricting and pointy. The standard wedge cuff-down toe is to decrease one round, then knit one round and repeat these two rounds until done. My method is quite different and makes the toe box area more curved and less square and pointy.
Aside from the subtle shape difference, my sock toe isn’t that strange. What will be odd is that I’m not able to do the opposite for toe-up and cuff-down. My instructions will definitely seem odd, but the toes end up looking the same, as you will see.
