I've seen plenty of patterned hose toppers, but only one or two places that actually offers hose cuff toppers (not talking about the toppers you wear with spats).

I'm having my wife attempt to knit me a black/green diced topper for my charcoal hose, but it appears to be a bit more work than she thinks I'm worth

What is the consensus on this particular "compromise" between full diced and just a partial dicing? Personally I like the look of a solid hose, but would love some dicing for those "in-between" formal events.

Finally, has anyone considered bias-cut tartan, maybe with some elastic sewn in, as a top-cuff for their hose? This might be an easier project... considering I have a small handful of lightweight blackwatch available currently. It would be tricky to do without "scrunching" up the tartan but I think it's doable.
