Stocking
Object/Artifact
Child’s stockings. White cotton, hand knit with knobby stitched all around leg, and from vamp to cuff. Cuff is feather-edge or scalloped. Seam around top of sole, and also in strange places on heel. Pointed toe. One stocking too narrow. 7.5 x 16.5” Looks like a noble early serious knitting project.
