Clocked Hose?

[Jock Scot]

Clocked hose or sock generally means a design eg a cable worked down the 2 sides of the legs, i.e. on left and right, and the rest of the sock knit in plain stocking stitch.It can add a little bit of decoration, easier to knit that a wholy decorative sock, which in a cable/aran knit will take a lot more time

Thanks for explaining that Paul. That makes two things that I have learned on this site today.
