Knitting pattern for kilt hose?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I just figured it out!!! The site is www.ravelry.com looks like it might be a good site.

My wife uses that site extensively. It's like "X Marks" for the knitting community. She loves it.

Use the search feature this discussion has bee held before.

I like to use the sockulator to give the basic size and then use Knitting fool to find a cable pattern.

My friend Pammie is making me these hose. I'll post them when she's finished.

I love ravelry, but I mostly just wing it with all types of knitted socks. I've never been good at following directions.

My sister is planning on knitting me a pair of kilt hose, and has been sending me patterns to look at.
These have full instructions (if you can read that sort of thing - I can't), and best of all, they are free

Here's a cabled kilt hose from Drops Design:

Quite right there are some really good places online for free patterns just a matter of finding them.

My favourite is www.garnstudio.com - most patterns are in several languages, including English, but if you need a translation from Norwegian I can help. Just PM me.

Not sure if this applies but, if it's your first attempt go to this link which will give you all you need to get started on hose. For what it's worth I would recommend getting the Knitpicks / Knitpro interchangeable 3.75mm needles with an 80cm wire as i find this combination the best as it is what I knitted my first hose on as per this example
