Notes

{Number of stickes = n}

#1 if you can get the number of stitches to be a multiple of 12 that's great 72/60/48, multiple of 6 (e.g. 42) is the 2^nd best option 3 the 3^rd e.g 21 (12 is divisible by 6 and 3)

#2 the number of rows that make are the same height as 15 stitches about {4/3(approx) x n/4}

#3 for 21 stitches on bottom half {n/2}

8 - 5 – 8.

even - remainder – even

1/3 rounded up to even number

no of stitches round up to even number

no of stitches - 2 of above

no of stitches round up to even number

{n/6 rounded up

n/2-2(n/6 rounded up)

n/6

}

#4 Wiki has a foot length guide it may help for making socks for other peole

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size

if you decrease 4 st every alt round that is number of stitches/4 rounds 16 round is about 4cm {n/4 rows}
