The construction method I subscribe too isn't mine - it's cribbed from a couple classes Itook at Pennsic 36 (2007). It’s really a draping method:1. Draw a long chalk line along the bias starting from one corner of your woolfabric, about 4 feet long.2. Your model should be wearing his braies. Attach the corner with the chalk lineto the cord hanging from the braies.3. Wrap the fabric around your models leg, pinning the seam up the back of hisleg. Make sure that the chalk line runs down the center front of his leg. Do notpin the ankle yet. It will ruck up at the foot/ankle area.4. At either side of the heel, make a cut from the floor to the ankle bone, such thatthe fabric lays flat along the top of the foot.5. Have your model sit down. Pin the heel and ankle along the center back seam,this seam should be wrapped around the bottom of the foot, covering the soleof the heel as well as the back of the heel. Do not make the ankle too tight;remember the widest part of the foot will have to be able to get though theankle area.6. Wrap a piece of fabric around your model’s foot. There are two seam lines.The seam that makes the fabric a cone shape goes down the center of the sole.The other goes around the wearers foot, attaching the toe piece to the heal andankle. The toe of the hose are going to be slightly pointed.There are two useful dress diaries for making hose (although they’re focused on women’shose, the difficult foot part is the similar for both genders, even if the leg shapes areslightly different.) http://www.angelfire.com/zine/kiarapanther/garb/stocking1.html http://katerina.purplefiles.net/garb/diaries/FLCalze_new_pattern1.html20

However, it is suggestive that none of the men’s hose are striped, whilehalf of the women’s hose are striped. The 7 instances of striped socks show stripes of twodifferent tones of the same color (green or blue) going horizontally around the leg.21
