I know this has been asked before and I followed that discussion somewhat. But of all the links I followed from it, I never came to one that gave a satisfactory source for a knitting pattern for argyll kilt hose.

My wife is a spinner and knitter of some accomplishment and she is looking for a pattern for argyll kilt hose. The only one we have run across is in an old book but it is not for kilt hose and it specifies five colours. I think we only need four--two colours for the diamond stripes (one red , one white) and two for the backgrounds (green being the main colour and black or very dark navy being the alternative).

Any suggestions or links , or advice would be appreciated.
