Gauge About 6.5 to 9 inches per inch, with US 0 (2mm) to US 2 (2.75mm) needles.

Additional Gauge Information

  • There is no need to swatch for the Sideways Garter Stitch Cuff. "The number of stitches required for your size of sock will be determined by the number of rows in the Cuff."  Note that this cuff is worked in a smaller needle size than the size used for the sock.
  • If using the Wavy Cuff, work a swatch 30 stitches wide with needle sizes appropriate to the yarn.


Additional Size Information Measure ankle circumference (just above the joint), in inches.
