Repeat 9th and 10th rounds until your top measures, from casting on, six inches.
Knit the rest of your stocking in Alloa yarn with needles No. 12. Don't forget in the 1st round to take two stitches together at intervals, to make the number right for whichever stocking leg you are going to knit.
The Scotch custom of having wooden legs to dry the stockings on when they are washed, prevents their running up, and keeps them a very good shape.
