Sizing:
Choose the size that gives you 1-2 inches of negative ease.
Sizing is based on foot circumference, not the length. To figure out the length of foot you need to knit, use the row gauge to calculate the number of rounds you will need to knit for your foot size and subtract by 1.5(1.75,2) inches for the toe or try your sock on as you go!
