Generally the knee high socks are made of cotton yarn. All of cotton clothing will shrink after washing, which is almost inevitable. So the knee high socks will usually be about 3% shorter after washing. In addition, the width was expanded when the knee high sock has reached up to the knee, , so the length also will inevitably be shortened by 5%. The combination of these two reasons may shorten the knee high socks by 8% or more.
So I would suggest that you‘d better choose the kneehigh socks which 2” taller than your knees height. In this way, they will not become too short to hardly to worn even if the knee high socks are washed and dried for many times.
