Originally an American fashion, knee-length stockings became increasingly popular here during
the war years, not least because they helped save precious clothing coupons. This vintage knitting
pattern captures that practical yet stylish moment perfectly, offering a classic hosiery design that’s
both wearable and historically interesting.
The stockings were originally knitted in Fynespun 2-ply stocking yarn, chosen for its strength and
fine stitch definition (see image for original yarn details). To make things easy to adapt for modern
knitting, a handy chart is included to help you match needle and hook sizes with today’s yarn
options.
A lovely piece of wartime knitwear history that combines economy, elegance, and timeless style.
