These highly textured socks are actually worked in pieces and then joined as you go with crocheted seams to resemble a traditional sock construction in knit--but with better fit and structure for crochet.

The only traditional seaming that these socks require is two short seams- one at tip of toe and one at corner of heel.
Sizing
S (M, L, XL)

Foot length of socks measure 8 (8.5, 9, 9.5)” (20.5 (21.5, 23, 24) cm) but can be customized to any length. These socks are stretchy and fit best if sock measures .5 to 1” (1.25 to 2.5 cm) shorter than the actual foot measurement. Sample shown measures 6.75” (17 cm) in circumference around ankle, has sole measuring 8.5” (21.5 cm) from corner of heel to tip of toe, and measures 6.5” (16.5 cm) from corner of heel to top edge of ribbed cuff.

Socks measure 6.75” (17 cm) in circumference around ankle and 7” (18 cm) in circumference around foot (not including gussets which increase in circumference as you get closer to the heel). Sock will stretch about 5” (12.5 cm) in circumference to be able to fit over your heel. These socks are quite stretchy and will accommodate a wide foot as written. Notes for making a narrower sock are included within pattern.

Accommodations for a Longer Foot: For the two largest sizes of this pattern, you will need to crochet a sock with a shorter leg length in order to have enough yarn for a longer foot. Directions for size L and XL both include this modification. If you have purchased extra yarn, you can of course make a L or XL sock with the longer leg length.
