A few helpful videos are provided with the pattern:

  1. How to knit Fair Isle.
  2. Working the Heel flat, heel turn and gusset.
  3. I - Cord.

These are videos I created for other patterns, however it’s the same concept for this Christmas stocking.

As are all my knitting patterns; this pattern has been test knit twice and both copy and tech edited for accuracy.
