Sizes
Two sizes, S and L, to fit adult foot with 18-19 (20.5-21.5) cm / 7-7½ (8-8½) in circumference. Foot length is fully adjustable within the pattern. Pay attention to your round gauge, as you’ll use this to measure the finished length of
the foot. To maintain gauge consistently, and prevent the fabric of the sock drawing in, you may find it necessary to go up a needle
size when working the colourwork bands around the sole and top.

Socks generally fit well with at least 2.5cm / 1in negative ease, both widthwise and lengthwise. If you are unsure, measure the circumference and length of a sock that fits you, or if you are knitting as a gift and don’t know the recipient’s foot size, this table may be helpful.
