Striped Thigh Highs
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE: 18 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: | M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop. |

| Striped Thigh Highs Reviewed by L on 2008-09-28 |
 |
| I knitted the smallest size and they were way too wide. I am ripping them back and will try it with no shaping on the lower leg, and with some for the upper leg. I like the look of them, they are really cute, so hopefully this works.
