Sizes
X-Small (Small, Medium, Large)
The socks are designed to be close-fitting, about 0.5-4 cm smaller in circumference than the foot it is supposed to fit on and to fit foot circumference of about 15.5-19 (17-20.5, 19-22.5, 20.5-24) cm.
When choosing a size, it’s good to keep in mind that multicolor knitting is not as stretchy as regular stockinette stitch. Therefore, larger needles are used for multicolor knitting. The length of the sock is adjustable. To make the socks fit well on the foot, knit them about 1.5 cm shorter than the length of the foot.
Gauge
The socks are knitted with a fixed knitting tension to make the socks as durable as possible.
36 sts and 45 rows = 10×10 cm in stockinette stitch after blocking.
Knitting strength was achieved with 2.25 mm knitting needles. Anna knits hard, so you may need to go down a size to achieve knitting stability.
