Leg Avenue Nylon Over The Knee

Pink over the knee nylons, which is the softest way to do a very long sock. They sit above the knee on the lower thigh, so the line they draw is high and the effect is closer to a thigh high than to a knee sock.

Pink goes further than people expect. With black it is a sharp contrast, with white or cream it is all softness, and with denim it is the only color in the outfit. Wear them with a mini skirt, with shorts, or under a dress that ends above them so the band shows. They also finish a costume that needs one soft element. Roll them up the leg from the toe, keep rings off while you do it, and hand wash in cool water then lay flat to dry.

Over the knee is a much harder length to make well than a knee high, because the top has to stay up without being tight. This pair is knitted to hold at the thigh, which is what makes the length usable rather than decorative.
