Finished Dimensions: Our pattern accommodates various foot sizes: Small fits a foot circumference of about 8 inches (20 cm), while Large accommodates a circumference of about 8.5 inches (22.5 cm). The length of the foot is tailored for shoe sizes ranging from 6 to 11, with recommendations provided for additional sizes to ensure a perfect fit.

Yarn Requirements: To create the Small size, you will need approximately 3.2 oz (90 g) or 380 yards (347 m) of your favorite sock yarn. For the Large size, gather 3.5 oz (100 g) or 420 yards (384 m) of yarn. The sample used in this pattern features the exquisite Posh Sock (MCN) from McMullin Fiber Co in the beautiful Denim colorway, showcasing how a high-quality yarn can enhance the texture.

Needles: A size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needle is recommended, or use the size needed to achieve the specified gauge. If you prefer, double-pointed needles (dpns) can also be used—simply distribute each half of the stitches on two dpns, with 2 on the instep side and 2 on the sole side for easier handling.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 8 stitches and 12 rows per 1 inch (2.5 cm) in stockinette when worked in the round, ensuring that your socks fit as intended.
