Measure around the widest part of your foot, typically at the ball, using a flexible tape measure. Use this measurement to select or adjust your sock pattern for the best fit.
A sock gauge swatch is a small sample knitted in the round to check your stitch and row count per 10 centimeters. It ensures your finished sock will fit as intended.
If your swatch doesn’t match the pattern gauge, adjust by switching to a larger or smaller needle size, then re-knit the swatch until the correct stitch count is achieved.
