“The shah is one of the most expert knitters in the world, and when last in England presented the Prince of Wales with a beautifully knitted silk pair of stockings which the royal giver had worked himself.
The stitch with which the stockings were worked was a very uncommon one, no fewer than nine needles being employed by the shah in the working of the stockings, which , it is said, took over six months to complete.”
