Foot length feels a scoche short. Maybe try 6 more rows (.5") in next sock?

Notes

Re-purposing some yarn from an old crochet sock project. I’ve found that I just can’t wear crochet socks, they hurt my feet. But I’m getting better at knit socks.

01-03-2026

On row 64
of foot, I increased 6 sts. 4 on the sole and 2 on the front. Then did 1 row of knit in every stitch before starting the heel.

01-10-2026

Leg from heel to cuff is about 72 rows. Cuff is 68 sts, 2x2 rib. Aiming for 2” cuff. (about 24 rows)?

01-19-2026

Yeah, well, cuff turned out to be only 1” in length. I was ready to be done.
