I'm not sure they are good for your period but here are some URLs that deal with making hose.

This is for circa 1300, supposedly.

This is a practical article on fitting hose to the lower part of your leg. I've tried it and it worked for me. It's not a pattern as such, more like a method to draw your own pattern, fitted to your own legs.

Another for ca. 1300

Extant hose at Marc Carlsson's site

Additionally there have been some threads on late period hose here (if I recall correctly). I believe some of the information I got from it pointed to a change in the shaping of the foot ca. 16th c. I'm not sure there were any significant changes between 12-13th c. hose and the ones in those websites.

Ok, I'm back to lurking and learning!
