Add a playful touch to your winter wardrobe with these fun zig zag over the knee stockings. Knit from the cuff down using any super fine sock yarn and increasingly smaller double pointed needles for shaping. A bit of elastic sewn into the cuff will keep the stockings snugly in place. This is a fairly easy pattern for anyone with sock and lace knitting skills, though it is, admittedly, a bit time consuming. I think you’ll find this project worth the effort for a pair of warm and eye catching hand made stockings.
