Maygroves 237: Here we have another vintage knitting pattern for ladies stockings, 1940. knitted on two needles in hosiery yarn, a silky rayon yarn on size 13 imperial needles (2.25mm) There are two different patterns, no sizes given, easy to knit to size using pair of socks, lengthen or shorten as required. As these yarns are no longer made it is a case of trial and error to find one that works, but there are many cotton or synthetic yarns similar to choose from, just make sure it is fine, look at the crochet threads and work samples to see how they stretch and feel when knitted up. I have a very small sample of this thread in my collection which looks like a 20 cotton or 3ply yarn pure wool works as well.
