From the pattern intro:

This is a great knitting project for the ultimate baseball fan. These socks can be knit in two sizes: a larger size for a woman who wears a size 8 shoe or a child who wears a size 6 shoe (with a foot approximately 9¼ inches long) and a smaller size for a woman who wears a size 5½ shoe or a child who wears a size 4 shoe (with a foot approximately 8½ inches long).

Yarn: Sock yarn (fingering weight) in the your team colors. You will need approximately 400 yards (2-50 gram skeins) of your main color (MC), 400 yards (2-50 gram skeins) of your contrast color (CC), and 400 yards (2-50 gram skeins) of your second contrast color (CC2), if your team’s sock has three colors.
