100+-year-old kilt hose knitting instructions (free online)

[Pleater]

I just realised it is the Richard Rutt collection - I met him a couple of times and heard him speak too - he was a Bishop and knitted himself a mitre out of Twilley's goldfingering yarn - greatly envied by his fellows.

He was a lovely man - a real treasure. He'd had a few adventures in his time as a missionary in China.

Thanks for the back-story on these, Anne.

As for the instructions themselves. . . let's just say they make Gainford's book look like "Kilt Hose for Dummies" LOL Somebody with much more experience than I should whip up a pair and show us what you get!
