GAUGE:
24 sts + 28 rows = 4" [10 cm] in St st (k every rnd) on larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

I made these socks for a friend of mine, and they fit well. I wouldn't recommend this as a begginer project, but once you're ready for socks, its a good pattern.
