Stocking

Register entry: Sock of stained knitted wool, with strengthening at heel and badly holed.
Catalogue note by Lesley O'Connell Edwards: Incomplete wool stocking knitted in the round. The upper part of the leg is missing – the top edge looks as if it may have been cut, as it is a straight line across a single round of knitted stitches. The short row garter stitch heel shaping is visible; as is the toe shaping. There is a large hole on the base of the foot, which perhaps supports the idea that this has been cut off the original upper leg. Average tension 2.6 stitches and 3.9 rounds per cm.
