Stocking
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Hand knit heavy white cotton stockings, child size. Half height, narrow welt. Elaborate cable pattern worked on either side of lacework gore and topped with a lace diamond zigzag pattern of holes worked up the center front from the toes to the same height. “CP” worked in holes near top back of one. Toe has seam around outside and up center front a bit over the toes - better fit into shoes with pointed toes? Much darned.
