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].
