Weldon's Practical Stocking Knitter Fifth and Sixth Series eBook printed copy Knitting Book

PieceWork has reproduced here the stocking knitting material from the Third and Fourth Series with 30 patterns. The Third Series features sixteen patterns; the Fourth Series has fourteen. Among the patterns are the intriguing Ladies Silk Stocking, Ribbed in Stripes; stellar Boys Knickerbocker Stocking; classic Gentlemans Bicycle Stockings, Cable and Rib; adorable Babys First Sock, in Basket Pattern; jaunty and colorful Dice Check Stocking for Youth; and to mix it up a little, the lovely Feather Pattern Sock worked on two needles instead of the typical four. Instructions might perplex a contemporary knitter accustomed to detailed charts and succinct directions, but the patterns are often ingenious. Many of the objects transcend the century-plus span of years since they were devised.
