Size guide

The Penny Socks are worked with the same number of stitches in the cuff for sizes 35-40 US5-9. The biggest sizes (41-44 US9½-12 ) have more stitches in the cuff. If you have a large foot (for example size 44 US12 ), but a narrow calf and a narrow foot you can choose to knit size 39/40 US8/9 and extend the foot to the length of size 42-43 US11-12. If you have a small foot (for example size 36 US6 ), but a wide calf and a wide foot, you can choose to knit size 41-42 US9½-10½ and shorten the foot to the length for size 35-36 US5-6.
