I've found that the number of stitches increased for the gusset are too many. It makes the sock much to long for his foot (this even after making sure to measure as you suggest prior to starting the gusset). It's a sock with 64 stitches total and my gusset stitches ended up being 50 - this is with Deborah Norville Sock yarn on size 1 needles) - Anyway, I just kept trying it on his foot and increased the gusset stitches until it reached just past the end of his heel, then turned. Don't know if this would be an accurate way to measure for anyone else, but thought I'm mention the difference with this toddler sock.<br />Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255940368787370457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-79944088478805579292013-06-26T17:11:39.621-05:002013-06-26T17:11:39.621-05:00Anywhere to get word document of directions?

And since there is more shaping than with the regular short row heel, I might have found a solution to my "wandering heel" syndrome, the one where you sock heel winds up on top of your foot after an hour or so.BarbRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149029912562882493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-8486624099090002822013-04-26T08:15:37.682-05:002013-04-26T08:15:37.682-05:00It seems to me that your instructions, even the bo...It seems to me that your instructions, even the bost you refer us to, leave me stranded halfway through the heel with a number of stitches decreased.

Then I divide the half number of stitches for the instep onto 2 DPNs for ease handling and leave all the heel sts on the third needle. So I now have 3 needles in play. I do all the increasing on the heel needle and all the turning the same way. Then after the heel is turned, I just continue on the three needles until it is finished. Hope this helps!Kathy Imbrianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734989386935770113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-36147649376523695182012-03-27T15:42:38.456-05:002012-03-27T15:42:38.456-05:00Hi,
