I have quite small feet ( UK size 5) so I have written the pattern in two sizes diddy feet (mine) and more normal sized feet. I wrote the pattern so that you can fiddle with lengths of foot and cuff so feel free to play around with it as you will. Just remember if you make them too long/tall you will probably need another skein of wool.
