The Right Fit | Sock Sizing & Foot Measuring Workshop with Beth

Good sock patterns include multiple sizes to choose from. But which one is actually right for your foot? Measuring isn’t as straightforward as it sounds -  foot circumference, arch height, and ease all affect how a finished sock fits, and picking the wrong size means hours of knitting toward a sock that won’t feel right.

In this two-hour workshop with knitwear designer Beth of things.beth.makes, you’ll learn how to take accurate foot measurements, understand what the numbers in a size options actually mean, and choose the right size with confidence, for your own feet, or anyone you’re knitting for.

What You’ll Cover

• How to measure foot circumference, length, and arch height accurately
• Reading a sock pattern’s sizes: what the numbers mean and which ones matter most
• Understanding ease, how much stretch to expect and when to size up or down
• How foot shape (high arch, wide toe box, narrow heel) affects size selection
• When and why you might knit a different size for the foot vs. the leg

Prerequisites
This class is for anyone who knits or wants to knit socks, regardless of skill level. Useful whether you’re planning your first pair or wondering why your last pair didn’t fit.
