Techniques for Custom Fit Socks

Support me by buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi! https://www.ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson This video explains how to modify different parts of a cuff-down sock knit with heel flap and gusset construction in order to achieve a better fit. Tips for selecting sock size, modifying the sock leg when the cuff is too tight, better fitting heels, adjusting gussets to better fit the ball of foot, and altering the fit of the toes. These techniques are starting points for achieving a custom fit by using actual measurements, rather than relying solely on formulas.
