Top Down Knee High Socks
This pattern is meant to be more of a recipe, so please feel free to use the Cuff, Heel and Toe of your choosing. I enjoy the Fish Kiss Lips Heel (FKLH), but think an afterthought heel would be a fun way to add a pop of color (which you could totally do with the FKLH). Another thing that’s great about this pattern (but requires more yarn) is that you can extend the length/width of the leg by increasing the number of decreases you have to do. For reference, my:
- Calf = 14.5 inches
- Leg = 13 inches
- Foot = 8 inches before toe decreases
If your leg/calf is larger, you can modify the pattern by adding 10 rows + a decrease row for every inch. Keep in mind, this means adding 4 stitches for every inch you need to add to the 84 that fit me. You can also remove a decrease row for every inch you need to subtract from the 13 that work best for me.
Gauge: 32 stitches and 40 rows = 4 inches
Suggested Needle size: US 2 (2.75 mm)
Yarn requirments: 265 (more if your foot is larger, less if your foot is smaller)
