I wear a size 7 shoe and these fit me as an ankle length sock. these stretch a little to fit over the heel. to make larger you can either use a larger hook or you can add a few stitches in the rounds.(instead of 28 stitches you could have 32 sts or whatever will fit) ( you can do this by increasing the number of sts in the 4th round or adding another increase sc round.)
you can also add a few rounds in the body of the sock to increase the length of the sock. these are comfortible to wear and stay on your feet when you sleep.
