\"RosieFirestarter-cover\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\nRosie\u2019s Firestarter socks<\/a> are easy-to knit because there\u2019s only little panel of something other than stockinette and that runs down the outside of the sock (making a distinct right and a left sock). But because Rosie hates to be bored there\u2019s also a Welsh heel (like the\u00a0WWMDfK?<\/em>\u00a0Fosco socks<\/a>) and a fitted arch.Thus, these suckers FIT.hey hug your foot nicely and the leg bit is easily extendable for you to make it as long as you need. Want to add calf shaping if you decide to go long? It\u2019s easy to do because the back of the leg is pure stockinette. (Andi\u2019s book\u00a0Big Foot Knits<\/em><\/a> would help with planning for that).
