With 24 colourwork charts to mix and match, this pattern offers 512 different possible options for customizing your own stocking. And that’s even before you take colour combinations into account! Everyone in the family can have a unique stocking that reflects their personal style.

The stockings are worked cuff to toe, beginning with an i-cord hanging loop, i-cord cuff top and stranded leg. Continue with a short-row heel, stranded foot and grafted toe.

Top Down Christmas Stockings includes a full picture tutorial on lining stockings with fabric.

This pattern also comes with a .pdf except of the charts inverted, in case you want to mix and match these charts into the Christmas Stockingspattern, which is worked toe up.
