In theoperation of knitting, the thread,as it leaves the plainly-knittedportion of the stocking, crosses aspace of from three to five plainstitches or loops in a crossing-thread or loop, when it is againknitted in the regular manner fora single stitch. Then again it ismade to form another crossing-loop or thread; and so on until alace section is completed. Aplain intervening section is thenknitted in the usual manner; then another series of open-work spaces;and so on until the entire number of lace and plain sections are com-pleted. This method is followed for three courses, when the thread,instead of being formed into the cross-thread, is midway of its lengthmade to form the long, loose loop in each of the open-work operation is carried on throughout the entire portion of the leg,instep, and foot, which it is desired to provide with the Fig. 171 Seamless Open Mesh WorkStocking. 275 258 KNITTING The entire stocking is thus formed of plain, seamless, knitted, tubularfabric, in which the leg, instep, and foot portions are provided withalternate sections of plain and open or lace work knitted together. An ordinary plain portion is formed at the back or rear of theleg, and is continued in the heel, the bottom of the foot, and in thetoe portions of the stocking. A stocking having sections of lace work alternating with sections of plain knitting around the entire leg,such as here shown (Fig. 172), may bemade as follows: Starting at the plain section, thethread forms a straight cross-thread eto the next plain section, crossing thespace of one or more plain loops. Agiven number of plain loops are thenmade. The thread then makes a fur-ther
