The pattern includes charts and brief written instructions for the Balloons Knee-High Socks.
Skills level: You should know how to knit the upper ribbing, heel flap, heel turn and gusset decreases, as there are no detailed guidelines for these in the pattern.

The pattern contains the following charts:

  1. The full Knee-High Sock Chart including the heel-transition rows.
  2. 4 decreases options for the toe; thus, you can knit socks for different foot size.
  3. For those who want to knit not only socks, there is an included Balloons Stitch Pattern chart. There may be a hat, a scarf, or a sweater. The Balloons Stitch Pattern can be worked either in the round (the rows numbering is on the left-hand side of the chart) or back and forth in rows (the rows numbering is on the right-hand side of the chart).
