Leg Avenue Sweetheart Knit Knee Highs with Lace Ruffle Cuff

A knit knee high with a lace ruffle at the cuff, so the sock is warm and the finish is not. Knit through the leg and lace at the top is a better combination than either on its own, because it means the piece works in a cold month and still looks like it was chosen.

The ruffle lands just under the knee, which is the spot a boot top usually sits, so decide early whether the lace is peeking out or on full display. Wear them with a pleated skirt, with shorts, or with a dress that ends above them. Black is the sharp one and white is the soft one, and both work as a costume finish or an ordinary outfit. Wash cool and lay flat to dry so the lace keeps its gather and the knit keeps its stretch.

Lace sewn onto a knit sock usually puckers the top edge and pulls it out of shape. Knitted in as part of the cuff, this ruffle sits flat and stays there.
