CONSTRUCTION & FIT NOTES

• Socks are worked circularly from cuff to toe. Features include a heel flap, slipped-stitch short row heel turn, gusset decreases, and a grafted toe.
• Three adult sizes are provided.
• The foot length is adjustable. For best fit, it is recommended that the foot length of the sock be 10% shorter than the length of the wearer's foot. For example, if the wearer's foot is 10"/25.5 cm long, the finished sock should measure 9"/23 cm from heel to toe.
