Dear Judi,
Do you have a high instep ? If so this is your fitting problem.
It has been a long time since I had this problem, but my husband had a high or thick instep and the 1st socks I made for him would not go on over his instep. I solved the problem by adding some sts to the pattern, it's been so long ago, 30 years or more, that I cannot remember how many I put in. It worked, he had always had the high instep problem when fitting shoes which involved the instep.
Hope this helps.
