GAUGE:
24 sts + 32 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in K6, p2 Rib, unstretched. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.

NOTES:
1.
If desired, use a spare knitting needle one or two sizes larger to cast on and bind off.
2.
Thigh Highs are meant to fit with negative ease (Thigh High circumference should be less than body measurement) for a snug fit.
3.
Thigh Highs are worked from top down for ease in adjusting the size.
After a few rounds have been worked, slip sts onto a spare length of yarn or a long circular needle and test the fit by sliding the piece up your leg.
Change to larger or smaller double pointed needles to achieve the desired fit.
