Thigh-High Striped Stockings – Made-to-Measure Knitting Pattern PDF

Knit your own stylish thigh-high striped stockings with this detailed made-to-measure knitting pattern. Create a classic gray pair or a festive red-and-white version, customized to your individual leg and foot measurements. The stockings are worked from the top down and feature comfortable shaping, a square heel, gusset and wedge toe.

Intermediate level. Basic experience with knitting in the round on double-pointed needles is recommended. You should know how to work knit and purl stitches, increases and decreases, a heel flap and heel turn, pick up stitches for the gusset, shape a wedge toe, and graft stitches. The 19-page PDF includes step-by-step written instructions, measurement and calculation guidance, heel and toe reference tables, a complete worked example, troubleshooting tips, and a printable project record. The stockings are made to measure, so the pattern explains how to calculate the stitch counts and shaping for your own measurements.

Adult – Made to Measure. The pattern is customized using your own leg and foot measurements, so there are no fixed S/M/L sizes. The finished stockings are designed to fit above the knee. Heel and toe reference tables are provided for base stitch counts from 48 to 80 stitches. Instructions are included for calculating the leg circumference, shaping and foot length for an individual fit.
