Bellocq (link not safe for work) was a photographer in the early 1900s, who photographed the women in New Orleans' brothels. These stockings are a nod to his work and the beautiful, curvy women women he photographed.

These lovely lace stockings come in a variety of sizes, lengths and styles. Whether you need a lovely pair of socks to wear any day, a sweet pair of knee highs for under a skirt, or a stunning pair of thigh highs to turn some heads, this pattern has it all.

You can purchase the pattern here.

A sample I knit of the crew sock. .

All three versions are worked toe up so you can fit as you go. The bottom of the sock is worked in stockinette to ensure a comfortable fix.

All three styles offer a perfect border to showcase a lovely silk ribbon. Keep it simple and tack down the ribbon, as shown in the crew sock at right, or make them even more feminine with a bow or two.

While I may have designed these, I had a lot of help from a team of test knitters and tech editors. There are a few names you might even recognize.

Thank you all!
