Eccentric notions
I've had this in my mind's eye for a while - and it very well may already exist - so I decided to go ahead and see if it would work.
I'm not posting for critique or permission, but if this style already exists, I'd like to see it.
I think it's super fancy!

James, try the mid length of fabric at the ankle, then weave up the leg to the knee. The ties would be at the top of the hose and could be covered by the hose folded over. It may be possible to give a Fax-Argyle look to the hose with the overlap in the front of the shin and back of the calves. Just a thought and worth a public opinion query.

I will try that - but for this purpose, I intentionally exposed the knot. Maybe put the knot to the front?

For this experiment, the knot is okay in front (easier to tie) or to the outer leg (as you have done).

Knot to the front:
I like the look both ways. Definitely easier to tie to the front!
BTW, these are from our friend at Blue Ridge Knits - hard to see the stripe in these pics:

"Knot" my cup of tea, but if you like it go for it!

I know of a pipe band that has thick laces that does what you said, to give an argyle hose effect.
James, the point of tying at the top is that the garters used to hold the socks up. Purely functional.
back to that band though - by the end of a parade, the laces had fallen and looked similar to what you propose, James.
I kind of like it from a looks perspective, but from a functional one, I would say "tie it up top."

No functional intent, purely for looks...
