This pattern offers two sets of numbers and 3 combinations of yarns to achieve 3 different gauges and 6 sizes. The yarn amounts are deceiving in the Ravelry description as the larger yarns take the fewest yards even for the largest sizes!

6.25 sts =1”
5.5 sts = 1”
4.5 sts =1”

The heel is a heel flap heel with no gusset to allow for a square shape to show off the cable. The fit is VERY elastic.
