Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern
by Nancy Bush
(from Nancy Bush’s pattern description)
The pattern I have used for these "Half Hose" appeared correctly in Volume 14 (1899). The original hose from Weldon's had a k1, p1 ribbing, which I have switched to k2, p2, a pattern with more stretch. I also added some shaping along the back of the leg-the original had no shaping and looked baggy. I was surprised and pleased by the way the leg pattern extends into the heel flap. I’ve worked the French Heel as in the original-without slipped stitches during the heel shaping-and changed the toe shaping from a Wedge Toe to a Round Toe.
