This is a simple sock pattern designed for sensory issues in sensitive feet. The Strong Heel has a smooth heel flap rather than the textured feel of the traditional heel flap and gusset socks. The Round Toe molds better around the toes.

One skein of sock yarn is used for a pair of crew style socks. Knee socks will require more yarn. It is possible to get two pair of shorty socks out of a skein of yarn.

Some calculations are necessary to get the right fit, although there is general sizing for foot length.
