The pattern in the Argyle hose does not exactly recreate the sett of the tartan. I imagine that would be a knitter's nightmare for many tartans. Rather, the Argyle hose are made in a fairly standard "tartan-like" pattern that incorporates the colors of the tartan of the kilt. It's meant more to mimic the look of the tartan than to recreate it. So whether your tartan has a large or a small sett shouldn't have any bearing on the size of the pattern in your hose.
