This is a pattern from the war years, which was sold advising the knitter to ‘spin out the coupons’ and knit her own stockings, We have chose a yarn with a touch of mohair that will keep you warm and add glamour. These stockings are knitted on two neeedles, for those who find knitting in the round tricky, This also enchances the vintage look by creating a seam at the back.
