A 16th century style woolen stocking based on surviving examples from Italy. The style is based on a fine gauge silk stocking, but here, we give you the same construction and beautiful detail in a gauge that knits up quickly and resembles wool stockings from the era! It can be knit in either sock/fingering weight wool or sport weight.

Pattern requires 6-8 oz. of sock/fingering weight yarn for a set of two stockings, approximately 20” long from heel to knee for women and 22” long from heel to knee for men.
