I’m impressed. I get bored and stop my socks before I should so I’d never make it to a knee-high. 😉 Oh, and I have short legs, thank goodness.

One thing you can do is work ribbing (maybe 1×1) for the last inch or so, then thread in the elastic afterwards using a crochet method on the WS. This way the elastic doesn’t affect the gauge. There’s a good demo of this in Katherine Buss’ Big Book of Knitting.

It will do the opposite and will make them slide down to a place where they are more comfortable. I think some good ribbing will work well. Maybe K1tbl, P1. I love the way it looks and it’s a tighter rib.
