Here is another of the basic Red Cross scarves I knitted along with a pair of the Red Cross wristlets.

This muffler fold up into the cap shown in the next set of photos.

Here is the one I knitted. This is how it looks as a muffler/scarf.

This shows the muffler folded up into a cap.

Another photo of the muffler cap I made. This time shown on a model. This cap is extremely warm as it’s a two layer muffler which then folds into the cap: doubling the thickness.

This photo shows the one I knitted folded up into a cap.

This is called a basket stitch muffler. It has fringe and the stitch looks kind of like basket weave.

This is another type of WWI scarf. It is called Brioche stitch or Fisherman's Rib.

Another of the Brioche/Fisherman's Rib scarves I've knitted.

Single Brioche Stitch.

Cardigan Stitch.

Here is another of the WWI socks I made.

This is a custom pair of socks I made for a customer who had a WWI photo that these socks are based off of.

These are the same WWI socks as the ones above, but with a longer leg and knitted in gray.

The original 1917 photo of the American Red Cross Hospital Bed Socks. These are made without a heel. They were designed to be worn by convalescing soldiers.

This is a pair of the American Red Cross 1917 Hospital Bed Socks I knitted.

Puttee stockings. (Please note the taping tied on the stocking doesn't come with this. I only make the stocking.)

The knit puttee stockings I made. They pull on like a leg warmer and are 18 inches long. You can roll down the cuff to make them shorter.

Another photo of the knit puttees I made. They are a khaki color and are 100% wool. I knit them with 4 very thin stainless steel knitting needles.

Here is the ribbed sock. Notice how it has ribbing lines down the sock.

These ribbed stockings are the same as the ribbed socks, but longer.

Seaman's Stockings.

The stockings I knitted, but with a longer ribbing section.

Trench Stockings. These specific stockings are meant to be worn under rubber boots, as stated in the pattern. They have a 30 inch long leg!

This is called the Heelless Hospital Sock. There is no heel; it is straight ribbing from start to finish.
