This is a corrected and clarified version of a pattern published in a book from 1876, the originally can be viewed here

They measure approx 7.5 inches around the top which stretch to fit a 14 inch calf comfortably. And the foot measure 7 inches around

In test knitting my gauge ran between 13.5 and 14.5 stitches per inch. Both these gauges resulted in fitting socks so you have some wiggle room on gauge.

The original pattern is for a plain sock but I have included some information for adding decoration along the calf (clocks)
