LACE STOCKINGS

Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2009 #31
design by Mari Muinonen

Exquisite thigh-highs, worked in the round from the toe up shows some serious leg. The flowery lace that runs up the back and the miniature leaf-lace pattern in front are flanked at the sides by cables that continue up into the cable-and-lace ribbed cuff. Sheer elastic woven through the top edge keeps things in place.
