A round toe is created by a round of increases followed by rounds of knit, another round of increases, more rounds of knit, and so on.
Here's one version of a round toe. Your mileage may vary.
Cast on 8 sts.
k 1 round
kfb in each st. 16sts total
k 2 rounds
*k1, kfb* 8 times. 24 sts total
k 3 rounds
*k2, kfb* 8 times. 32 sts total
k 4 rounds
Continue increases and knit rounds in this manner until you have the total number sts that you need for your sock.
If the total # of sts is not a multiple of 8, adjust the # of increases in the last increase round accordingly, spacing them equally. Also pay attention to the length of the toe--if you need a lot of sts for your sock, the toe may become longer than you'd like. Adjust the # of knit rounds in between the increase rounds as needed.
the mosaic socks are gorgeous! Where did you get that pattern?

How do you do a round toe? An increase adjustment, I guess. do you start with a figure 8 cast on? I'm a recent toe-up convert.

Ok, I know you like toe up. What heel do you prefer? And how do you know when to start the heel? I just knit my first real toe-up sock (with a gusset) and loved it, but I'm not sure it's going to become my construction of choice.
