Don’t Knock Knee Socks
Would you like to extend your sock pattern to make knee socks? Learn where to measure to get a well-fitting stocking and how to convert that information into rates of shaping. You’ll practice with knitting flat swatches that have abbreviated calf shapings in several different ways so you can choose the method that best fits your particular sock pattern.
