I would love to make these socks but the boots I wear are the taller ones. Would it be possible to make the socks taller. I have skinny legs…lol and Thanks for such a cute pattern. And Thanks In Advance for any info you can proved. Be Blessed!!!
Thanks for reaching out! Of course you could make these taller by either increasing the number of rounds in the portion of the ankle section marked Rnd 2-7 to go as high as you would like, or you can in the fuzzy cuff Rnd 2-4. Depending on how wide your calf is, and how tall you make the socks, you might need to add additional increases where your calf starts to make them large enough to go over and not be too tight. Just be sure to write down what modifications you did so that you can make a second one just like it!
