These festive stockings are meticulously designed to be worked from cuff to toe. The process begins with an elegant i-cord hanging loop, followed by an i-cord cuff top and charming stranded leg. Next, you’ll navigate a short-row heel, which adds both style and comfort, before continuing on to a stranded foot and a seamlessly grafted toe. This pattern is perfect for knitters who enjoy a bit of a challenge and want to create something truly special for their holiday décor.
Top-Down Christmas Stockings also includes a comprehensive, step-by-step picture tutorial on how to beautifully line your stockings with fabric, ensuring a polished and professional finish. This added touch not only enhances the appearance of your stockings but also extends their durability, making them cherished family keepsakes for years to come.
Each stocking requires approximately 300 yards of worsted weight yarn, ideally in three colors of roughly equal amounts. Our sample stockings were crafted using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, and we provide specific color suggestions and chart choices for the samples shown in the pattern. Get ready to unleash your creativity and add a personal touch to your festive celebrations with these enchanting Christmas stockings!
