Feel free to use the calculator on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow that you know your gauge and the desired circumference of your sock, you can make the calculations and determine the amount of stitches you need to cast on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have measured your gauge in stitches per 4\u2033 use the formula below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The circumference of your sock \/ 4 * (stitches per 4\u2033) = total stitch count<\/pre>\n\n\n\nFor instance, my gauge is 32 stitches \/ 4\u2033 and I want the circumference of my sock to be 8\u2033 the calculation will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8 \/ 4 * 32 = 64 stitches<\/pre>\n\n\n\nOr if you prefer centimeters (8\u2033 = 20cm) and you have measured your gauge in stitches \/ 10 cm the formula looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20 \/ 10 * 32 = 64 stitches<\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can measure your gauge also in stitches per any width such as stitches \/ 2\u2033 (32 sts \/ 4\u2033 equals 16 sts \/ 2\u2033) then the formula would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8\u2033 \/ 2 * 16 = 64 stitches<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
