    I think they'd be classic yet funky. I'd dig getting my hands on a pair of entrelac kilt hose.

    I think that a solid colour hose body with perhapse a bi-coloured cuff would be very sharp looking. Please show us pictures when they get finished.

    Yes - multicolour tops on plain hose could be a bit of a shock but texture, and matching texture to boot, would be neat.

    I have wondered about shaping entrelac -such as for a sleeve, by gradually reducing the size of the 'squares' by reducing the number of stitches.

    In the past I have used reducing needle size to shape fluffy mohair yarn knitting, but for a hard yarn such as is used for socks that would not be so successful.

    I just started a sock on no 14 (2mm) needles and had to pull it out and restart on no 13 (2.25mm) as the worsted spun yarn was too thick for the finer needles.

    even if you didn't do the foot of the sock in entrelac, but the ankle to calf was.
    I'd say go it.....all one color...except the cuff
