About this work
Knee stocking, light brown, the cuff consisting of two small strips knitted in purl stitch. No decorative seam. Medium-fine, hand-knitted in the round in stockinette stitch. Here too, attempts were made to stop the holes, and patches were attached, three in total. All three woven in plain weave. Two pieces are reddish-brown and one is blue. Given the differences, it does not form a pair with NG-2006-110-18-A.
