Occasionally you may find argyle spelled argyll. Most commonly referring to the overall pattern made of diamonds or lozenges, the word argyle sometimes is used referring to an individual diamond in the design. Layers of overlapping motifs are found in most argyle layouts adding a sense of three-dimensional, movement and texture. Typically in the pattern, there is an overlay of inter-crossing diagonal lines on solid diamonds. Helped by its identification with the Duke of Windsor, Pringle of Scotland (a luxury knitwear manufacturer and importer) popularized the design. The duke, like many others, used the argyle design pattern for golf clothing on both jerseys and long socks that were needed for the plus-fours trouser fashion of the day. Argyle knitwear became fashionable in the USA after the first world war. U.S. Open and PGA champion, Payne Stewart (1957-1999) was known and loved by his fans for his bright and “flashy” outfits of tams, knickerbockers and argyle socks.
