Slip this ruler directly into your sock while it's still on the needles to easily determine when to start the toe (or gusset/heel if you're knitting toe socks). With inches, centimeters, US men's/women's and European shoe sizes engraved directly, you always get the perfect fit! This handy rule can be used in different ways. The length of a foot can be measured by standing on it. It works well to do this against a wall so that the part of the heel that sticks out the most is aligned with the edge of the sock ruler. Adult socks typically have a negative comfort of 10%, so depending on how much negative comfort you like in your sock, you can either use the corresponding shoe size or add or subtract the percentage of comfort you want . You can stick the ruler into the socks from top to bottom, with the zero edge against the heel of the sock, to measure the shoe size or the inch/cm measurement you are approaching in your knitting. If you are knitting pointy toe socks, you can hold the sock against the ruler to measure the shoe size or inch/cm measurement. Adult socks typically have a 10% negative comfort and measure approximately 1/2" or 1.3 cm less than the length of the foot and 1" or 2.5 cm less than the circumference of the leg or foot . This information is engraved on the sock ruler as a reminder.
