Polka Socks are the perfect everyday socks. They are worked in a stripe pattern from the cuff down in the round, and the heel is shaped with short rows.

This pattern is perfect for trying out different color combinations. Go for neutral shades or pick more colorful ones to add a little something extra to your everyday outfit!

SIZE INFORMATION:

Sizes: 35–37 (38–40) 41–43 (44–46)

Size fitting: Sizes 35–37 (38–40) 41–43 (44–46) are equivalent for a foot circumference of 20 (22) 24 (26) cm 7¾ (8¾) 9½ 10¼ inches and a foot length of 22 (25) 27 (30) cm 8¾ (9¾) 10¾ (11¾) inches. The foot lengths are approximate, and the sock length can be adjusted to fit the foot.

Choosing the size: Measure the circumference of your foot at its widest point, either from your instep or your ankle. If your measurement is, for example, 22 cm 8¾ inches, the corresponding size is (38–40). If your measurement falls between two sizes, such as 21 cm 8¼ inches, I recommend rounding up to size (38–40). If you prefer a looser fit, I recommend sizing up.
