Six Inches!!?!

I'm knitting a really cool pattern (It's the Ann Budd's Baby Sock) out of really great yarn (Yarn Pirate). All should be right in my world. It's not.

This should be much smaller than 6 inches wide.

Much, much smaller. This could fit a five year old, not a baby. Crud, now I need to knit with size zeros. Let the frogging begin.
