Thigh High Footless Socks Reviewed by Carla Jones on 2010-10-27
My granddaughter loved these when she saw them. She picked out the yarn and I just finished them. I added ribbing at the top like that at the beginning. I knit them flat, but when I added the stitches back after the heel opening, I added half the amount required to each side so that the seam goes up the center of the back. If she has trouble with them staying up I will weave some elastic thread thru the ribbing at the top. Thanks so much for this fun pattern!
