These fit Isaac's feet now, with a little room to grow. He currently wears a size 10 shoe. Here's how I made them:
- cast on 24 stitches using Judy's magic cast on
- knit 1 round
- make 4 increases every other round, 6 times (48 stitches)
- knit 39 rounds
- increase 2 stitches every three rounds, 4 times
- knit 1 round
- work a short row heel on the back 24 stitches. Do short rows until 12 stitches remain.
- knit 6 rows after finishing heel
- decrease 2 stitches every other row, 4 times
- knit until sock is as tall as you want it
- work 10 rows of 1x1 ribbing
- bind off with Jenny's surprisingly stretchy bind off
