I knitted these socks over the weekend, hence the very original name! This top-down stranded sock pattern is available in two lengths (should fit US shoe sizes 6-11). The width is fixed, 68sts around. Toe is fully patterned, the heel is plain. I describe how to make standard short row heel in the pattern, but you can use your favorite method.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Leg height is fixed; approx. 20cm from the ribbing edge to the beginning of the heel. The foot is charted in two lengths. You see the smaller size on the photo ; stranded part measures 20cm from the heel to end of toe. The plain short row heel adds 5-6cm. Longer foot chart is 7 rounds taller, which should give about 2cm additional length.
