NOTE: Choose a size that fits with 1 - 2 inches of negative ease, meaning that the finished circumference should be 1 - 2 inches smaller than your own foot circumference so that the sock fits snugly. Take that measurement around the ball of your foot! The length of your sock is completely adjustable.
