Crochet stockingettes - fishnet - orange

[Casa CocoLoco]

This CasaCocoLoco original pattern for handmade crochet stockingettes will give you 135 minutes of entertainment! It's not that difficult and the result is so sexy and stylish. I'm using a cottong elastine for this pair but you could try adding knitter's elastine to any ordinary yarn that has a bit of stretch to it (I probably wouldn't recommend bamboo).

The size is for Australian foot size 9, so a smaller foot will be fine. A larger foot should add only reduce by 1 loop at R3.

Good luck! I would love to see your results!!
