Pattern Description from stitchdiva.com: “This collection features lacy socks and stockings all made from the same basic pattern. Because they’re worked from the toe up, you just stop knitting when your stockings reach the perfect length: crew, knee-high or thigh-high.

What makes these socks beautifully unique are the details. You have a choice of working a sexy Cuban heel or continuing the main lace pattern at the ankle. Crowning the socks is an ingenious leafy lace border, with eyelets for ribbon embellishment.

These fully illustrated instructions will guide you toward knitting a perfect pair of ultra-feminine socks: be it sensible crews for every day, dress-up knee-highs for a super-style look or decadent thigh highs for that special occasion.“
