For Sizing:

To determine the cast on number for your sock, measure around the thinnest part of your ankle or right above the two bones that make your ankle. This is your “Leg Circumference”. Use a cast on number that creates a sock circumference that is 1” smaller than your leg circumference. For child size, use a number 1⁄2 inch smaller than the leg circumference.

Sizing available for Leg Circumference of 5.5” - 11”
