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 really like this pattern. I find it very easy and the socks fit me very well. Making the pattern as it is written, the socks fit myself, a size 9-9.5 women's and they also fit my husband who wears a size 10.5 shoe. I can't wait to make more for the winter.
