Is there an increase that shows up well? I’ve been looking at knit toes for socks and there’s a neat one called a Star Toe. It makes a little pattern by k2tog as you decrease for the toes.
I don’t like making Top-Down socks and was wondering if perhaps the decorative increase would work well for this as the hole it makes is not terribly noticeable, but could possibly show up well enough to show off the workmanship of the knitter?
