Size Options: Choose the perfect fit with our sizing options: 1, 2 (3, 4) | 48, 56 (64, 72) stitches. The sock measurements offer a snug fit in circumference, aligning with a gauge of 6, 7 (8, 9) inches | 15, 17.5 (20, 23) cm for foot circumference. Remember to account for negative ease of 2 inches (5 cm), which means that the ideal foot circumference will be approximately 8, 9 (10, 11) inches | 20, 23 (26, 28) cm.
Gauge: Achieve the best results by maintaining a gauge of 32 stitches by 40 rounds equals 4 inches/10 cm in Stockinette Stitch. Use US 1 - 2.25 mm circular needles, or craft with your preferred needle size to match the gauge.
