Kilt hose pattern needed

[ThreadBbdr]

The following books come to mind.

Folk Socks by Nancy Bush has a pattern for Aran Style kilt hose (and great general sock instructions)

And another book by Nancy, Knitting Vintage Socks, has a pair of "Cycling or Golf Stockings". This pair is sized for a woman, but could be scaled up. Also a pair of "Gentleman's Shooting Stockings", that with a different cuff would look good in a heathered wool for kilt hose - And again, good general sock instructions.

Designs for Knitting Kilt Hose and Knickerbocker Stockings by Lady Veronica Gainford is back in print from Meg (Zimmermann) Swanson at Schoolhouse Press. (This one has limited 'sock' instructions, it's mostly just the patterns for the tops and stitch patterns for the legs.)

Both of these are in print and easily available on Amazon, etc.

And a couple of free patterns

Knitty online (free patterns!!) has Toirneach

"John Anderson (aka the Robert Burns socks)" Found these the other day via Ravelry

Piper Hose (popcorn top)
