I’ve made this sock in three different 4-ply yarns. The first was a handspun that turned out slightly denser than I wanted it, resulting in a gauge of 7 stitches to the inch; the other two, handspun and millspun respectively, yielded my preferred gauge of 8 stitches to the inch. The second batch of handspun was my own blend, based on the same formula used for my custom millspun yarn: 70% wool / 30% silk. For this pattern I’ve expanded my typical sizing range accordingly, to allow you to adjust as needed for the grist of your own handspun.

At 8 sts per inch, working the first set of numbers gives a sock 7 inches in circumference, the second set gives a sock 8 inches in circumference, and the third set gives a sock 9 inches in circumference. At 7 sts per inch, working the first set of numbers gives a sock 8 inches in circumference, the second set gives a sock 9 inches in circumference, and the third set gives a sock 10.25 inches in circumference.

Note that I intend my socks to be worn with about 10% negative ease, so that a foot with a 9 inch circumference should wear a sock 8 inches in circumference.

Note about the yarn: if you are looking for the Tsilk Tstocking suggested as a commercial substitute, I don’t have my commerce site set up for it yet - but the Delphinium colorway IS available now from Moose Manor Hand Paints!
