Please note these measurements are the finished sock size. Socks are to be worn with 1-1.5 inches of negative ease. For example if the widest part of your foot measures 9 inches, choose size 1 or 2 depending on the snugness you like.

If a bigger or smaller foot circumference is required this can be achieved by going up or down a needle size.
