These knee-hi stockings look like spring in this colorway, but are comfy enough to be worn all year long. The instructions as written are for ladies small-medium, but could easily fit a larger size if made with a larger size needle. They could also be knit as regular socks--just use fewer stitches to start, ignore the shaping, and work the pattern until you have the length you want. Then follow instructions for the foot. Why not knit two pair--knee-hi’s for the lady, socks for the gent!

The pattern also has instructions on converting these to thigh-high stockings. These instructions are found at the end of the pattern. The original yarn (Brooklyn Hand Spun Soft) does not seem to be available at this time, but any similar sock weight yarn would do as well. Remember to check your gauge!
