Number of pegs in the looms:

Measuring Ball of Foot

If working with the e-wrap stitch plan on about 6 stitches per inch (varies with tension and yarn used).

If working with the knit stitch/flat stitch plan on about 8-8.5 stitches per inch (varies with tension and yarn used) (if you knit tight, go for the 8.5 stitches, if you knit loosely, choose 8stitches per inch).

Let's assume that your foot measures 8.5 inches around the ball of the foot and you are planning to use the Knit Stitch for the socks. You knit tight so you probably will knit at a tension of 8.5 stitches per inch. Grab one of the peg numbers above and divide it by the stitches per inch: 68/8.5=8. Your foot measures 8.5 and the tube made with the 68 peg loom makes a tube that is 8". For a sock, you want negative ease (so it fits snug and doesn't fall), so in this case, choose the 68 peg loom.

However, if you are planning to use the e-wrap stitch, and you get a stitch gauge of 6 stitches per inch, then you will need a different loom: 48(number of pegs on the loom)/6 (stitches per inch)=8. In this case, you will need the 48 peg loom.

Love this loom	July 30, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Centereach, NY United States

It is so cute, lite and small. I love that it fits in the palm of my hand which means small enough to take along in my pocketbook. I always love having a pair of socks to work on anywhere that I am. I knit socks by hand in the past, Now I have the option to knit socks on a loom too. The only issue I have are the stitches are too tight and hard to knit while working the flat knit heel stitchs. But that may just be more practice on my end. Even so it is a very nice sock loom. I plan to make lots of socks with it.
