It doesn’t fit

I was very happy knitting my Conwy (sock pattern by Nancy Bush). The pattern is fun to knit, not too complicated and yet challenging enough. Once I got to the ankle I suspected that it might be a bit too tight. After I turned the heel I was pretty sure of it. I went in search of smaller feet and was told that they were tight. And the top was too loose.

I stared at it for about a week and decided to rip the whole thing. I can use the same needles and change the pattern so it will fit, or go up a needle size and start with the amount of stiches I eventually need (sock decreases from top to heel). It should fit the smaller feet. Hey, could be a Christmas present.
