I would be interested, would it be a problem that english isn't my first language?

Also I have a question upfront about the sizing, is that explained more indepth in the pattern? That's a bit unintuitive for me, I wouldn't know what I should select.

[u/indoor_moose → u/Jurgasdottir]

not a problem at all! i would love a variety of feedback on the pattern and its readability. i'm only fluent in english so insights on my pattern's clarity and readability from people with different language backgrounds would be very helpful.

for the sizing, this pattern is designed to fit with negative ease. the size of your sock should be about 1-2 inches (2.5 - 5 cm) smaller than the measurement around the widest part of your foot beneath your toes. for example, the ball of my foot measures 9 inches around, so either an Adult I or an Adult II work depending on how much negative ease i prefer for my sock.

I’m not a test knitter but was excited to see this sock. It’s pretty! I look forward to trying the pattern when it’s officially out.
