📏 Size Adjustment Guide

The beauty of these sneakers is that they’re built from the sole up. By adjusting the sole length and stitch counts, you can resize them easily for any foot.

1️⃣ Sole Length Guide

Each extra increase round in the sole adds ~0.5–1 cm (0.25–0.4″) to the shoe length.

Kids (US 1–3 / EU 32–34): Stop at R5 (40 sts).
Women (US 6–9 / EU 36–39): Work through R6 (48 sts).
Men (US 9–11 / EU 42–44): Add an extra round:
- R7: (5 sc, inc) ×8 (56 sts).

👉 For larger sizes, keep increasing in the same pattern (every extra round = +8 sts).

2️⃣ Body Height

Kids: Work 14–16 rounds of orange after toe cap.
Women: Work 18–20 rounds for ankle-high sneakers.
Men: Work 22–24 rounds for true high-tops.

👉 The tongue should always be about 2–4 rows taller than body.

3️⃣ Toe Cap

Toe cap should cover ~⅓ of the sole length.

For kids: stop at R5 (30 sts).
For women: stop at R6–7 (30–36 sts).
For men: extend to R8 (42 sts).

4️⃣ Lacing & Eyelets

Space lace holes evenly up the tongue:

Kids: 5–6 lace holes.
Women: 6–7 lace holes.
Men: 7–8 lace holes.

👉 Always use even numbers so laces criss-cross neatly.

5️⃣ Patch Size

Scale patch so it matches shoe:

Kids: 2 rounds (12–18 sts).
Women: 3 rounds (18 sts).
Men: 4 rounds (24 sts).

6️⃣ Sole Sturdiness by Size

Kids: Felt insert is enough.
Women: Foam insole + double sole layer.
Men: Plastic canvas or leather insert recommended for strong base.

✅ Quick Size Reference

Size Group	Sole Rounds	Sole Stitches	Body Height Rounds	Toe Cap	Lacing Holes	Patch Size
Kids	R5	40 sts	14–16	R5 (30)	5–6	2 rounds
Women	R6	48 sts	18–20	R6–7	6–7	3 rounds
Men	R7	56 sts	22–24	R8	7–8	4 rounds

🎉 Final Notes

Always test fit before sewing soles together.
If slipper feels loose, reduce 1–2 body rounds or tighten stitches with a smaller hook.
If too tight, add one more sole increase round or use a larger hook.
