Laura Chau Delicious Knee Socks PDF

You’ll have lots of fun knitting and wearing the Delicious Knee Socks from Laura Chau! Knit a custom fit in a variety of foot sizes and calf sizes—over forty size combinations! A slipped stitch “seam” up the back of the leg hides the usual jog between the stripes and looks pretty too. If you don’t want stripes, knit them in beautiful solid color for socks you’ll reach for all the time! These socks are knit in the round from the toe up, with a Turkish/Eastern cast on and short row heel. Also included are notes on how to knit a pair of over-the-knee socks!
