The Custom-Fit Sock Recipe

The ToeHurts workbook for a top-down sock sized to your own foot and gauge: cuff, heel, gusset, foot and toe, every number worked out

The Sock Size Calculator on this site gives your cast-on, and the Yardage Estimator tells you how much yarn a tube of that size takes. A sock is more than a tube: it turns a heel, picks up a gusset, runs the length of your foot and closes at the toe. The Custom-Fit Sock Recipe carries your cast-on through every one of those steps for the classic top-down heel-flap sock. Part 1 measures the foot, swatches, finds the cast-on with negative ease, and sizes the yarn and needles. Part 2 is one page per step: cuff and leg, heel flap, heel turn, gusset pick-up and decreases, the foot (subtracting the toe's length so you know when to start it) and a wedge toe to graft. Part 3 puts every number on one recipe card, with a table worked for nine common cast-ons. Assumes you can knit in the round, pick up stitches and decrease. With your purchase comes a personalised sheet writing your own sock, cuff to toe.
