Sexy thigh high stockings with an easy to memorize lace pattern and visually appealing decreases down the back thigh. These stockings are intended to be worn with garters, the bands are elastic enough to give them stretch and make them fit a variety of leg sizes, but they will not stay up on their own.

Make them in black to have a pair that looks like tights when worn with skirts and dresses, or a pair in white to have a very fashionable accessory that complements your cutest pair of shoes. Knit a pair in hot pink, and you will be the talk of the knitting group.

Size
One Size, stretches to fit up to 22” along cuff. These may be a bit saggy if you are particularly petite, but they will stretch to fit a variety of leggy ladies.
Please note that these stockings are intended to be worn with garters, they will not stay up on their own.

Finished Measurements
16” circumference at cuff un-stretched
26” from cuff to heel

Materials
I used Knit Picks – Palette (100% Peruvian Highland Wool, 231 yds per 50 g ball) color: Black, 4 skeins

However, any fingering weight sock yarn will work just fine.
