Penny Socks - Paper

Penny Socks are knitted from the shaft down to the toe. The socks are knitted in rib (k1, p1) on the shaft and top of the foot and in stockinette stitch on the bottom of the foot. Penny Socks are long and are meant to fit so that they have a baggy effect around the ankles.

Size guide

Penny Socks are knitted with the same number of sts in the shaft for sizes 35-40. In sizes 41-44 there are more sts in the shaft. If you have large feet (e.g. size 44) but slim calves and slim feet, you can knit according to size 39/40, but lengthen the foot. If, on the other hand, you have small feet (e.g. size 36) but wide calves and wide feet, you can knit according to size 41/42, but knit the sock shorter in the foot.
