Leggings are made of red and yellow cane work, and follow somewhat the shape of the leg, fitting tightly at the ankle and below the knee, and swelling into a globe at the calf. These are frequently worked on the leg, and are left there till they wear out, which is generally in about three months. Some are made with a slit at the side which enables them to be removed at pleasure. When these leggings are not worn, bands of finely-cut cane, dyed black, are twisted tightly round the leg just below the knee. |
