Notes

My gauge on this was between 11 and 12 st/in and 15 rows/in. I started with 165 stitches but found it was about 20 stitches too large and ended up starting over with 146 stitches.

I almost made it on one 100g hank. I ran out of the first hank with about 20 rows to go (out of 480). If I had made the stockings half an inch shorter, it would have worked out fine. Oh, well, these things happen. I was told a pair of over the knee stockings would take about 900yd of yarn, and it looks like that was pretty much spot on.
