    So you're going to knit the hose yourself? I'm impressed. Don't forget to share the results in this forum :-)

    If anyone is interested, www.scotpress.com has the Patons kilt hose pattern for sale for $6.95. I ordered it and received it in 4 days. It is not a reprint, but an original pattern.

    I also like the cuffs. I can't figure it out from the picture. It looks like it is knitted sideways and attached. I would like information on the cuff pattern.

    You are right Mark,
    the cuff is knitted sideways then joined from the inside and then a normal overknee sock top is picked up from the edge. It is a neat technicque for using a cable horizontally. I have seen people use it on hats and sweaters that's where I got the idea from.

    I really like the cuff you created on those hose!

    I also like the cuff you created and the hose look professionally made. How wide is it? Not sure if it is the camera angle, but they look like they could be a little wider, but I personally like beefy cuffs on my kilt hose.

    Thanks for the nice comment. The cufs are the same width, well give or take half an inch as the leg. As these Kilt hose will go to Ceildhs, Weddings and the like I made them rather snug so the flashes would have such a hard job keeping them up. No, seriously, that is the way the recipient asked for them. Making them a bit looser would be easy enough though. :-D

    Done!!

    Sorry this is late. I picked them up from my Mum on Canada Day. Yes, I did wear them Canada Day with my Maple Leaf tartan kilt, but sorry I have no pictures. But I did borrow my neighbours camera to get a few shots of the hose. Man it's hard to take a good picture of your own leg!!

    My Mum used a patteren of her own for the cuff. (Oddly enough it kind of looks like the Lewis Hose cuff)

    With my kilt (sorry it's dark)


    All Dressed up




    She is alreay working on another pair for me. This time balck cuffs with a dark green hose. I can't wait!!
