    Kilt hose tops?

    I have seen advertised "kilt hose tops" what are tops?
    Are they a cover for solid colour hose or a complete "sock"?

    There's two different types that I've seen. There's a leg-warmer version, essentially a sock minus the foot part and then there's just the upper turn-over part or cuff type (like an oversized sweat wrist band).

    Oh yeah, I think the sock version, without the foot, is designed to be worn with spats..

    These are the ones I had made to match my 'Flower of Scotland' kilt.



    And in use.

    Hose tops are easy to knit , and very useful at changing, or upgrading a simple outfit, I like this style with a simple cable design in lovely shetland wool
