I’m knitting the silly goose sock pattern by stone knits and I have tried everything to make these fit past my heels but the floats are still too tight.
-catching floats every 9 stitches as recommended by the pattern
- leaving floats loose
- knitting inside out

Am I doing something obviously wrong? It also looks an absolute mess on the back because of how long and loose the floats are.

They are at the point where they are super loose on my leg but I can barely squeeze them past my heel.
