>>> Now from the description of your foot, you might like the sock

>>> with a 12 inche circular needle when I got the rectangle the size I

>>> rectangle and pick up and knit as I picked  up around the edge.  I
>>> would work like 2 or 3 stitches in the corner of the  rectangle
>>> placing something like a total of 64 stitches or something divisible
>>> by 4 stitches.  Now I have done this several ways, but  the easy way
>>> is just keep knitting around on these 64 stitches until it fits  past
>>> your heel and end it off with a ribbing of knit 2, purl 2 for a few
>>> inches or if you want a fold down cuff do it longer.  No heel.
>>> Actually, I  love
>>> doing it this way when I use a little heavier weight yarn, like the
>>> sport weight.  The garter stitch in the toe makes it feel a little
>>> padded and you just created a tube sock.  No heel, no kitchener
>>> stitching and with the  fancy sock yarn they have all the pattern
>>> work or stripes are done by  themselves.
