hole in the knee. The other has a hole in the ass. Worn for the first time every time. They love them, but at this rate they don't even last a month, even with a few pairs. I would call it 6. My girls love patterns. It is true that you have inelastic decorative yarn, which makes it uncomfortable to go around the calves. I don't know who picked it. Looks cute but is not pantyhose material.
