im not using the same yarn, im using Bernatt softee baby, which is a sport/d.k yarn (because the person im knitting for wants pink and blue socks) ive done gauge. it seemed fine, but the 64 sts looks way too big when i was knitting which is why i stopped and got frustrated. help.
Check again over what you’ve knitted to make sure you’re getting 7 sts per inch. That’s what the gauge is and on 64 sts would be a skosh over 9" around, 4½" with the tube laid flat to measure. It could be your yarn is a little thicker than what’s used in the pattern. You might need to go down a needle size too.
Softee Baby is 22sts/4" or 5.5 per inch which is quite different from the pattern gauge. Did you check the gauge in the round too?
28 stitches per inch is about fingering weight. Unless you resize the sock they’re going to be too large. Personally I’d look for a sock that is made for the yarn weight/gauge that you have.
