I sewed a couple of pairs of socks for my 6-year-old daughter, whose socks are always getting holes in the same place after several wears. I thought well-fitting socks might have better chance of survival...
The pattern is only in my daughter's size, which is US Kids' size 2. A finished sock measures 8 1/4" (20cm) from the tip of the big toe to the heel.
I think you can adjust the sizes a little by shrinking & enlarging in printing.
Please remember that every knit fabric is different and the fit will greatly depend on that, too.
However, the pattern only works with stretch fabric with more than 30 % stretch.
I know there are a lot of mask patterns out there--- and i tried many of them. However, I couldn't find the exact shape I liked. I wanted a contour style, because pleated masks take longer to dry when washed, but I didn't like how some of the contour masks looked like duckbills on my face. (As I was writing this, I found out that there is a type of masks that's actually called a "duckbill mask", which are supposedly easier to breathe in.)
The contour shape of masks needed to be a bit different for my rather flat asian face from that of masks meant to fit other types of faces. So, after fiddling around with paper towel mock-ups and several wearable muslins later, I think I finally have the shape that flatters my face.
