Custom fit: Start with an outline of your foot and custom fit them. The nice thing about these socks is you can size them to fit any foot. Just try them on as you go. As long as your number of stitches is divisible by 10 they can be sized to any adult foot. The short row heel once you see the basic technique, it is easy to adjust for size. All the stitch numbers are merely suggested counts. So you can make these for anyone!
