Cycling and shooting knickerbocker stockings : how to knit them with plain and fancy turnover tops
A short knitting manual by H. P. Ryder, published by Macmillan in London in 1896, giving home knitters directions for cycling and shooting knickerbocker stockings with plain and fancy turnover tops. The plates are close-up halftone photographs of wool swatches in light and dark yarn, recording ribbing, horizontal bands, checks and diagonal zigzags that can be lifted as grainy textures, striped fills or repeating pattern tiles.
