Moorish Stockings for Summer

See that blue thing on my leg? That's a Moorish stocking used to produce the look recorded in Weiditz's Trachtenbuch.

They're just a long tube of blue wool. Rather warm, which is great at this time of year, but not so spiffy in the hot of an Atlantia summer.

Here are the details of the new stockings.

Yarn: 4 (?) skeins elann.com Camila. 50% cotton, 50% linen, 113m/50g
Needles: 3.25 mm
Gauge: 24 sts/36 rows = 4"

Cast-on 100 stitches. Knit stockinette stitch in the round. Bind off loosely.

Make 2.
