These elegant stockings are designed for US Size S (6-7 shoe) M (8 – 9 shoe) L(10 – 11 shoe). The pattern uses approximately 410 yards for largest size in fingering weight yarn. The example was knit in size L with 410 yards of fingering weight cotton/bamboo yarn, VeganYarn.com Albireo. This pattern was designed for yarns with little memory however, also works well with other yarns. Knitting with wool sock yarn may require some adaptations of the pattern (which are noted within the needle recommendations) in order for the stranded knitting section to be comfortably loose.
