These socks are knit in the round from cuff down. Increased stitches for the stranded section gives a little more stretch to the fabric to go over the heel. The Eye of Partridge Heel adds some texture to the knit and the flowers at the toes add whimsy to an already whimsical motif.
There are 3 circumference sizes; adult S, M, and L, but you decide the length of the leg and foot.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Approx circumference in stocking stitch: 7 inches/18 cm (8 inches/20 cm, 9 inches/23 cm)
Approx. circumference in stranded, not stretched: 7 ½ inches/19 cm (8 ½ inches/21 cm, 9 ½ inches/24 cm)

Gauge: after blocking, over stocking stitch, knit in the round: 32 sts x 48 rows = 4” (10cm)
After blocking, over stranded pattern knit in the round 34 sts x 40 rows = 4” (10cm)
