Inside Knitting Knee-Highs you'll find patterns for:Intricate colorwork inspired by ancient tapestries and modern-day indie dyers Twisting and twining cables from knee to toe Lovely lacework that looks delicate but can stand up to the wear and tear knee-highs take Beautifully textured stitches inspired by beloved knitting traditions Warm and cozy pairs created from sport and DK weight yarns And if that's not enough to satisfy your knee-high knitting needs, Barb shares her formula for custom-knit knee-highs, as well as instructions for converting sock patterns to make knee-highs!
