Textured and banded women’s socks. Includes two separate written patterns for cuff-down and toe-up versions, both patterns in women’s medium and large size.

Sizes
Women’s medium and large. The medium size on 2.5mm ndls fits a medium or small women’s foot and slim leg. The large size on 2.75mm ndls fits a medium or large women’s foot and medium leg, and can be worn over jeans and as boot socks. Foot and leg length are adjustable by knitting more or fewer rows in the foot, and more or fewer panel repeats in the leg. (The large size is equivalent to a medium man’s size.)

Gauge
Medium size: 8.5 sts per inch (34 sts per 4in) on 2.25 - 2.5mm needles
Large size: 7 sts per inch (28 sts per 4in) on 2.75mm needles
