PATTERN NOTES
This Stocking is made cuff-down in the round with an afterthought heel. The Cuff is made first and worked flat in turning rows then joined with a seam. The Stocking Leg is then worked along either edge of the Cuff in continuous rounds. The first round starts with sc and changes to hdc to build gradual height for a smooth transition to the continual rounds.
