S: 66 stitches, shoe size EU 36-37 (length 23,5 cm, width: 20 cm) M: 66 stitches, shoe size EU 38-39 (length 25 cm, width: 20 cm) L: 70 stitches, shoe size EU 40-41 (length 26,5 cm, width 22,5 cm) XL: 70 stitches, shoe size EU 42-43 (length 27,5 cm, width 22,5 Cm) In the pattern the instructions for the sizes are marked between (), divided by a /. An example: For the length 4 number are given; S(M / L / XL) = 11(12 / 13 / 14) cm. For the width only 2 numbers are given; S & M (L & xL) = 11 (13) stitches. If only 1 number is given, this is for all sizes. Do you need more width? Add one or two stitches at the begin and end of every needle and work them alternating Ktbl and P so it forms a nice ribbing. Please don't forget to add these to the number of stitches mentioned in the pattern.
