I find that the gusset and heel flap heel found in Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer's "Basic Toe-to-Cuff" Socks pattern works the best for me.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-44948562843877796612009-09-13T21:43:17.070-07:002009-09-13T21:43:17.070-07:00i also have a wide foot and a narrow heel. i find...i also have a wide foot and a narrow heel. i find that short-row heels work best for me, and when i do a top down sock, i tend to do fewer increases, so that my foot hasmore stitches than my leg.<br /><br />aren't human feet such individual things?dragon knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876200889552460658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-3575693538561161672009-09-12T18:18:57.045-07:002009-09-12T18:18:57.045-07:00They are denim and a natural colour, Nicole.

These socks weren't one of them, but the fact that I had started yet another project wasn't helping anything so I vowed to see them through to completion right away.<br /><br />Next up, a crocheted llama thatMarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670952038534759102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424570.post-45897028548817435262009-09-12T15:32:07.758-07:002009-09-12T15:32:07.758-07:00You're on a roll!

I decided to just decrease back to a smaller number of stitches.
