Jarva’s whimsical thigh-high stockings are worked in the round from the toe up—the toe, sole and heel are stockinette; the remainder is knit in lacy butterfly stitch. The number of stitches in the stitch repeat increases gradually along the leg; the cuff is a lace eyelet ribbing that cleverly accommodates elastic bands woven throughout for a snug fit. Cascade Yarns’ cotton Fixation has a hint of elastic that’s optimal for sock knitting.
