In hosiery tobe worn with low shoes, it is customary to make the lower part of thefoot and the lower portion of the heel of one color, say white, and theupper part of the foot and the entire leg portion of a contrasting is obvious that the half-courses of different colors may be inferloopedin the same vertical wale, or that they may be interlooped in differentwales according to a predetermined pattern, as shown in the ac-companying illustration (Fig. 169). A split-foot stocking may be formed upon a circular machine, byfeeding one of the threads to the needles in the usual manner, a littlemore than half-way around the needle-cylinder, and then drawing itinward while passing the remainder of the needles. At a point a 271 254 KNITTING. little in advance of that where the first thread is withdrawn, the secondthread is introduced and is fed to those needles from which the firstis withdrawn, and is itself withdrawn after being fed to one-half theneedles. After the stocking is finished, it is necessary to clip out the float threads. A stocking knitted afterthis fashion may be produced morerapidly than by the method first de-scribed. In still another plan, by circularknitting, each course is knit as follows:One ofthe threads—say the blackthread—is fed first to the needles; andknitting therewith proceeds until a half-circle or thereabout has been com-^ pleted and the point is reached whereit is desired that a suture shall white thread is then introduced;Fig. 169.
