new and useful Improvements in Seamless the next round the cross-thread e is made in Hosiery; and I do hereby declare the followlike manner. On the third round the crossing to be a full, clear, and exact description thread 6 is made in the same manner.

The toe is then com- 7 to the toe portion. I am, however, able to pleted with plain loops, thus forminga stockproduce an article of this class having a poring which has the plain-knitted portion a, the tion of plain knitting at the top of the leg of leg of ornamental sections a, the heel Z) of '5 the stocking, the leg composed of sections of plain loops, the bottom of the foot of plain lacework alternating with sections of plain knitting b, and the sections 6 of plain knitknitting around the entire leg, the heel and ting interposed between the ornamental bottom of the foot and toe being made of plain courses and the toe 6 of the stocking.
