Emma's Basic Socks
yarn: Manos Del Uruguay Alegria 【fingering weight 】
75% wool/ 25% polyamide / 100g/ 445yds/ 425mts
Needle size : HiyaHiya 2.5mm and 2.75mm Flyers/ 15cm dpns/ 80cm interchangeble needles
They are smooth and quite flexible when knitting in the round for sock circumstances.
Finished size: average adult medium 36/37 and 38/39
36/37 and 38/39 are European shoe size.
36/37 is for approx. foot circumference 20cm/ 8 inches.
38/39 is for approx. 22cm/ 8.5inches.
Please see the chart included in the pattern for size conversion.
Gauge: 32 sts and 44 rows with 2.75 mm in stockinette stitches.
Tips for choosing the size: my shoe size is 37 and my actual foot circumference is 20.5cm/ 8⅕. If I choose to cast on 56 sts , my finished sock foot circumference will be 17.5cm /7inches which has 3cm/1⅕ inches negative ease.
In this case, my finished sock is snug fit. If I choose not to include negative ease in my sock, I will go for 64 sts when casting on.
It will result in a sock with foot circumference at 20cm/ 8inches which is almost as wide as my actual foot.
Of course, if your foot circumference is wider than 20cm/8inches , casting on 64 sts will bring you a sock with a little bit negative ease. Hope this info can help you out about which size to choose.
