Sizes: S/M (M/L), to fit ankle circumference of approx. 8 - 9 (9 - 10) in/ 20.5 - 23 (23 - 25) cm, and calf circumference of approx. 12 - 14 (15 - 17) in/ 30.5 - 35.5 (38 - 43) cm. Shown in S/M on a 13 in/ 33 cm calf.
Finished Measurements: Ankle circumference: 6 1/2 (7 3/4) in/ 16.5 (19.5) cm with no stretch; stretches to 9 3/4 (11 1/2) in/ 25 (29.5) cm. Calf circumference: 10 (12 1/4) in/ 25.5 (31) cm with no stretch; stretches to 15 (18 1/2) in/ 38 (47) cm. Length options: 13 (14, 15, 16, 17) in/ 33 (35.5, 38, 40.5, 43) cm. Be sure to allow for width-wise stretch by choosing a finished length slightly longer than your desired length on leg. Shown in 13 in/ 33 cm length.
Gauge: To determine which size needles to use you may work a flat stockinette stitch gauge swatch. The desired gauge would be 19 sts and 31 rows /4 in/ 10cm OVER STOCKINETTE ST worked in rows. This should give you roughly the appropriate stitch pattern gauge of 29 sts and 28 rnds/4 in/ 10 cm worked in the round. The ribbing pattern is very stretchy and very exact gauge is not critical for fit.
What You Need: Exact yardage needed depends on length option chosen. Merino Worsted For S/M: 280 (300, 325, 350, 370) yds/ 260 (280, 300, 320, 340) m. For M/L: 340 (370, 400, 420, 450) yds/ 315 (340, 360, 390, 410) m.one set of dpns in size required to obtain gauge. I used US #6/ 4mm. You may need a size or two above or below that.one set of dpns 2 sizes less than above.
