How to measure your feet for a custom pair of socks

There is nothing like a good pair of socks in winter. The chunkier ones are perfect to wear around home or garden and the finer socks are perfect for everyday wear in your shoes.

We have lots of ready-to-purchase knitted yoga, bed socks and knee-high socks at our shop on etsy ( socksandmittens ). If you don't see your size or desired color, we will be glad to make a custom pair for you. The price on custom orders will depend on chosen type of yarn and size of the finished product. The regular order completion time is 3 to 4 days but it might take longer November through December due to the high volume of custom orders.

* If you'd like us to knit you a pair of custom size bed socks for you, we will need 3 of your measurements, the length of the foot and the circumference of the foot and ankle.

1. To measure the total length of your foot: place a yard stick/ tape measure on the floor. Position the back of the heel at the zero mark on the stick/tape, then measure to the longest toe.

2. For the foot measurement: step on a piece of string, wrap it around your widest foot's part and then lay it on a measuring stick to find out the circumference.
3. For the ankle measurement, wrap a string around your ankles where the joints are ( where the bone sticks out). Lay the string on a measuring stick to find out the circumference.

* If you'd like us to make you a below-the-knee socks, we will need 2 more measurements in the addition to 3 above:

4. Measure the distance from your ankle to your knee (above the knee cap for thigh high leg warmers, or at the narrowest point just below the knee cap for knee high)

5. Measure the circumference of your calf at it's widest point

* The custom yoga socks are standard in calf length so all we need to know is your shoe size.

How to measure your hand for custom made gloves or mittens.

We gladly accept custom orders and make gloves according to the customer's ideas at SocksAndMittens. Each pair might be different in color, yarn, design and of course, size.

To make sure the gloves fit right, we want to get the exact measurements. We prefer to have two of them, the palm circumference (PC) and the hand length (HL).

PC - To find out your palm circumference, please measure your dominant hand (the right if you are right handed, and the left if you are left-handed) with a tape measure or a piece of string around the knuckles of your hand around the fullest part, exclude thumb.


HL - To find out the length of your hand, please measure from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the hand (bottom edge of palm). 
 
If you used a string for this lay the string on a ruler or a measuring stick to get the number.

Let us know these two numbers and we'll start working on your new gloves as soon as possible.

We are always happy to see you in our shop!
