Over-the-knee length, cotton-blend knit with a ribbed elastic cuff that grips without rolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stripes are knitted in, not printed — so they won't fade or peel after a few wears. Solid red reinforced toe, heel, and top cuff give structure and durability. Slight stretch through the leg means they fit most adult calf sizes comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Week \u0026amp; Literature Days\u003c\/strong\u003e: A natural match for any striped storybook character — classic children's book energy without the licensing headache.

Pair with Mary Janes, Converse, or chunky boots depending on your character. Skip sheer tights underneath — the cotton blend is opaque enough on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParent FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What size do these fit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: One size fits most adults. The elastic cuff and knit stretch accommodate most calf widths comfortably — if you're between sizes or have particularly slim calves, expect a looser fit at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can I wear these over tights or under trousers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes to both. The cotton-blend fabric is thin enough to layer under jeans or leggings if you want the stripe peeking out at the ankle, or wear them bare-legged over the knee for full visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I wash these without the stripes bleeding?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Cold hand wash or gentle machine cycle, turn inside out. The stripes are knitted in rather than dyed separately, so colour bleed is minimal — but always wash reds separately the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Are these suitable for indoor school events?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely. They're not costume-bulky — just legwear — so they work for assembly performances, Book Week parades, or sitting at a desk all day. Comfortable cotton blend means no itching or overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold gentle wash, air dry flat, do not bleach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kids Book Week Costumes","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":51419486880018,"sku":"lx3017","price":14.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/8382\/6962\/products\/lx3017.jpg?v=1682312676","url":"https:\/\/kidsbookweekcostumes.com.au\/products\/adult-thing-1-and-thing-2-stockings-copy","provider":"Kids Book Week Costumes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
