Pattern for Knitted Stockings: Plain
Pattern for knitted stockings: Plain Stockings Woman's - in 3 sizes. Materials:-
For the tension: Work at a tension to produce about 11.5 stitches and 18 rows to the inch, measured over the plain portion. Cast on 108 stitches - 36 on each of three needles. Work 6 rounds in rib of K.2 and P.2. 7th round - Knit plain and, knitting the last stitch, purl into the loop before slipping it (this stitch is for the seam and is to be purled throughout the leg). Knit plain for 16 inches. Then commence the shaping for the leg as follows:- *K.2, K.2 together, knit to the last 5 stitches of the round, K.2 together through the back of the loops, K.2, P.1. Knit 3 rounds without shaping. Repeat from * until 8 decreasings have been made at each side of the seam stitch. Knit plain for 6 more inches. Then commence the heel as follows:- K.23, slip the last 24 stitches of the round on to the other end of the same needle (these 47 stitches are for the heel). Dividing all the other stitches on to two needles, leave them for the instep on this pattern for knitted stockings. On the heel stitches (always slipping the first stitch), purl and knit a row alternately (purling the seam stitch in the knitted rows and knitting it in the purled rows) until 45 more rows are worked; in the last (which will be a purl row), decrease the seam stitch. To turn the heel, K.27, slip 1, K.1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted, turn, *P.9, P.2 together, turn, K.9, slip 1, K.1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted, turn, repeat from * until all the stitches are knitted in (the last row will be a purl row). Knit back 5 stitches and so complete the heel. Slip all the instep stitches on to one needle. Taking a spare needle, knit the remaining stitches of the heel and 23 stitches from the side of the heel; with a second needle, knit the instep stiches; with a third needle, knit up 23 stitches at the side of the heel and the other 5 heel stitches. Some knitters (though there is no actual use in doing so and the extra work is only a complication for the beginner) make a seam stitch at each side of the instep. This is done by purling the last stitch of the first needle and the first stitch of the third needle in every round until the toe is reached. This can be quite well omitted - with even an actual advantage to the wearer of the garment on this pattern for knitted stockings. Knit 1 round without shaping. Then decrease for the instep in the next round as follows:- Knit to the last 3 stitches of the first needle, K.2 together, P.1; knit the second needle without shaping; on the third needle, P.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the end of the needle. Repeat the last 2 rounds until only 23 stitches remain on each of the first and third needles. Knit, without shaping, until (from the side of the heel where the stitches were knitted up) the foot measures:- 5.5 inches for 'small women's' size. 6 inches for 'women's' size. 6.5 inches for 'out-size women's' Then commence the shaping for the toe as follows:- *Knit to the last 3 stitches of the first needle, K.2 together, K.1; on the second needle, K.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the last 3 stitches, K.2 together, K.1; on the third needle, K.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the end of the needle. Knit 2 rounds without shaping on this pattern for knitted stockings. Repeat from * three times. Then, in every second round, work the decreasings until only 24 stitches remain in the round. Knit the first needle stitches on to the third and either cast off the two needles together or graft the stitches.
