The socks are worked toe up, starting with the Turkish cast on, then the toe is shaped with increases. The heel is shaped with gusset increases & short rows.
The striped sample is made in size 2 & my feet are the size of EU 39 / UK 6 / US 8.

When measuring your foot & trying the sock on, remember to put some weight to your foot, so you can see how the sock will actually fit.
You can follow more than one size too, for example starting with the size 3 stitch count, but making the foot the length of size 2.
If you’re between sizes, I recommend choosing the
smaller size, since the 2 x 2 rib stitch does stretch quite
well :)
