Ask the Geeks -
Penny S. asks:
Background first:. I have only ever knit socks for myself. I wear US shoe size 8.5. I use a size 0, 64-stitch, magic loop, Toe-Up. It's the only way I know how to do socks🤷🤣. Anyway, I have found a long lost/long-distance cousin and we've become great friends. She wears a 6 or 6.5. I want to surprise her with socks, but not sure on the amount of stitch or the length of the foot before I start the heel. I know you have some different sock tools that might help, if you could demonstrate. Help? 🤣
We mention: Foot Size Charts | Shoe Size Charts | Sock-u-lator II
