Abstract: A stocking with a stiffening of a portion of its elasticated double welt effected by the insertion of a plastic strip through an opening produced during the knitting of the double welt, said insert being referred to as a hosiery stay, measuring 25% less than the circumference of the welt and worn on the outer side of the leg in relation to the crotch so as to arrest the rolling of the fabric thus maintaining a near maximum area of elastic fabric to contact and grip the leg of the wearer.
