Shoe Size Charts for Knitting Socks

I am sitting here in front of my TV on the morning of Thanksgiving Day 2009 knitting socks like a crazy woman for Xmas gifts (Oh thank you dear husband for handing me that cup of coffee just now - how I love thee).

As I am knitting my Father-In-Law's size 12 socks (yeah, you heard that right), I have yet again misplaced my handy piece of paper that has my charts for creating the correct size sock based on shoe size.

Instead of making 20 copies of this little chart and losing all of those, I've decided to save a tree and put the charts here. I can always seem to locate a computer faster than that dang piece of paper.

If you happen to come across this blog of mine, I hope these help you out!

Ok - off to knit my brains out in between massive amounts of turkey consumption, parade watching and preparing to head back toworkand not see daylight until January.

**DISCLAIMER - I am by no means a knitting ninja (as much as I try to be), so if this chart is wack I apologize. I cannot be held responsible for frogging, ripping out, mis-sized socks, cold feet, children hearing expletives, or basically anything negative having to do with these charts. Anything positive and wonderful, I take full responsibility for. Do not hesitate to contact me with any goofs or fixes.

These measurements are based on a Heel Flap Sock, but I am sure you could modify it to a short row heel. I always use these charts and all socks have fit pretty good! Sizes here for women, men and children.

Leg measurement is cuff to beginning of Heel Flap.

Heel Flap measurement is beginning of Heel Flap to turn of heel.

Heel To Toe measurement is from beginning of heel turn to just before the toe decrease.

Toe measurement is from beginning of toe decrease to end of toe.

Total Foot Length is measurement from beginning of heel turn to end of toe.
