Description

Adult or young-adult-sized maroon cotton MID hand-knit stockings; small hobnail stitch for entire length except for where foot fit into slipper (?); sophisticated seaming avoids seams underfoot; knee-length or higher. Dye appears uneven. Seems to me I read somewhere that this texture was thought good for riding boots...
