This plain stocking is perfect in shape, and, if preferred may be ornamented with fancy knitting or embroidery or ribbed work, as the knitter may choose. The same directions may be used for all kinds of full or three-quarter length hose by adapting the number of stitches to the size of yarn and needles used in knitting. The mode of shaping remains the same, whether bicycle, golf or fine silk hose are knitted.

These directions are especially prepared for the finest silk and needles, and are correct for a ladies’ No 8 stocking, which maybe either full or three-quarter length as desired, the latter being often preferred by invalids.
