Pattern Description from book: Feeling a little naughty but nice? Without abandoning good taste, Debbie has found a way to spice up your look. She has cleverly worked up a long and shapely pair of stockings by combining short rows with her reversible “double-wrap bind-off stitch,” to produce a fancier, more feminine alternative to the common fishnet style.

Finished measurements:7” from toe to back of heel, unstretched. 20 1/2” from back of heel to top of leg, unstretched. 9” circumference at top of leg, unstretched.

Note: These stockings are extremely stretchy because of the stitch pattern and the elastic content of the yarn used, and should fit a very wide range of sizes. If you would like to make the Stockings wider, the instructions indicate where to do so.
