Leg Avenue Spiderweb Net Tights

A spiderweb knitted across the leg, radiating out rather than repeating as a flat print. It is the pattern that owns October, and it is good enough to keep in rotation the rest of the year if you like your hosiery with a little menace in it.

Wear them under a short black dress with boots for the straightforward version, or build a full costume around them: witch, spider, gothic anything. The web reads best on a leg that is visible, so keep hems short. Roll them up from the toe rather than dragging them at the waistband, which matters more on an open web pattern than on a plain tight. Hand wash in cool water and lay them flat to dry.

Most spiderweb tights are printed onto a plain black ground and the web collapses as soon as the fabric stretches. Knitting the web into the structure keeps the radial lines straight on the leg, which is the whole effect.
