How hard is it to knit Kilt hose

[sydnie7]

Kilt hose are not difficult (depending on the pattern): their most striking characteristic is that they are long. Go for it.

My first ever socks were the Toirneach hose. I, too, am fond of the tops. If you're a more accomplished knitter, you could try a more interesting leg than the simple rib.

This was my second pair, the top came from Gainford and the leg is similar to Toirneach.

Which of the Gainford cuffs is that? It's lovely, I just can't ID it from the few photos in the book.

Thanks!
