Description

The designer has used a simple slip-stitch rib worked in the round and ingenious calf shaping to create these uptown abbreviated knee socks/leg warmers. The instep cover and foot strap, worked on straight needles and edged with a contrasting color, will help keep your feet warm, and twisted-yarn tassels sewn onto the sides provide a bit of flair.

Gauge: 26 sts and 48 rows/rnds = 4″ (10 cm) in slip stitch rib patt (to check row/rnd gauge, measure straight up along a single column of knit sts on the RS and count each st in the column as 2 rows).
