The pattern fits me (UK size 7) and my toe to heel foot length is 24cm. I suggest you measure your hubby's foot length, do a gauge swatch to work out how many stitches you get to the inch then add on the relevant number of stitches in the pattern where it states 42sts for the foot. This should give you the right number to fit your hubby!. Hope that makes sense.... Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001869157864904557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245573916328968050.post-34744340508840310562016-07-24T14:46:01.656+02:002016-07-24T14:46:01.656+02:00I need them for size 8 1/2 male foot.

You could also go on Facebook and do a search for the Winwick Mum Sockalong page which is for sock knitters. Either Christine Perry (the page host) or the knitters themselves will be able to help you with a pattern I'm sure. I hope that helps.
