Modified Toe

Designer's Corner | April 09, 2008
By Suzanne

This is a modified toe that I made, with directions, pictures included.

When I got to about 2 3/4 inches from the end of the toe, I stopped adding more leaflets, and instead did this:

ending with a row 7, the next three rows, repeat row 8, then on the next row I started shaping the end of the leaf by (just over the pattern stitches) 
row 1: LLI, p1, k1, p1, ssk, k4, p1, k1, p1, k4, k2tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI, knit to end. 
row 2: Continue in pattern only now there are only 5 stitches over each side of the leaf. 
row 3: LLI, p1, k1, p1, k5, k3tog, k5, p1, k1, p1, RLI. 
row 4: Same as row 2 except only 1 p between sides of leaf.
row 5: LLI, p1, k1, p1, ssk, k3, p1, k3, k2tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI. 
row 6: Same as row 4, but only k3 on each side of leaflet. 
row 7: LLI, p1, k1, p1, ssk, k2, p1, k2, k2tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI 
row 8: Same as row 4 but with only k3 on each side of leaflet. 
row 9: Start the first toe shaping as per pattern, and at the same time LLI, p1, k1, p1, ssk, k1, p1, k1, k2tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI. 
row 10: Same as row 4 but only k2 on each side of leaflet. 
row 11: LLI, p1, k1, p1, ssk, p1, k2tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI. 
row 12: Same as row 4 but only k1 on each side of leaflet. 
row 13: LLI, p1, k1, p1, k3tog, p1, k1, p1, RLI. 
row 14: P3, k1, p3. 
row 15: LLI, p2tog, p1, k1, p1, p2tog, RLI. 
row 16: P5 
row 17: LLI, p2tog, k1, p2tog RLI. 
row 18: P3. 
row 19: LLI, k3tog, RLI. 
row 20: P1. 
Then continue to shape the toe per instructions.

Sorry, but that didn’t work either. If you are on Ravelry - I am knittingsuzanne and you can look at a picture on my projects page.

On 4/10 I modified the directions - instead of k3tog, it now reads sk2p.

Thank you!
Beautiful toe and very generous of you to share with us all.
I had just mapped out the pattern and you so nicely posted yours so now I do not have to translate my chicken scratch.
