So you need to go down in needle size and get more stitches to the inch to fit them into a smaller diameter sock. <br /><br />Before you rip, pinch the sock up to the right tightness, and safety pin the sock that size. Take it off and count how many stitches you pinched out. That's how many fewer stitches you need to make a comfortable sock in that yarn at that gauge. :-)<br /><br />Remember tighter sock gauge will make for longer wearing socks. I've knit socks as tight as 12 spi.<br /><br />-jenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-19405491686194287142014-09-21T09:02:12.027-06:002014-09-21T09:02:12.027-06:00ooooh, drats!
