MEASUREMENTS
GETTING STARTED
For a more custom fit, alter the stitch count. For instance, if your foot is long but narrow, follow the cast-on and stitch count directions for the small size, but work subsequent directions for the instep, heel and ankle in the lengths described for a larger size. If your foot is short and wide, follow cast-on and stitch count directions for the large size, but work subsequent directions in lengths described for a smaller size. To fit someone whose foot isn’t readily available to measure, use these standard measurements to approximate the “Knit to x length” directions.
