At first glance, these closely resemble the Sneaky Heel socks  but there is a significant difference: these have a true heel. It  is achieved by a method that I  invented or at least as far as I  know I did so. I’ve never seen  them anywhere else. This gives  simple socks a much more sophisticated and exact fit but still  requires no shaping or short rowing.  Sizes newborn size 1 to men’s 16 in US shoe sizes. Use a #2-3 yarn that gets a gauge gauge of 6 stitches/8 rows/inch or a #4 yarn that may be knitted to a gauge of 5  stitches/7 rows/inch. Any mid-gauge or bulky machine may be able to get both gauges. On  my KX350, the smaller gauge is achieved at stitch size 2.5, the larger gauge at stitch size  5. On a bulky, try stitch sizes 1 and 3 for the smaller and larger gauges. On a Bond, try  keyplates 1 and 2 for the smaller and larger gauges. If you cannot match both stitch and  row gauge, match stitch gauge. We can adjust length for your actual row gauge.
