This is a knitting pattern for two Christmas stockings: One with a cow, one with a horse, in different shades of purple with fairisle patterns. It contains a detailed, 11 page instruction how to cast on, turn the heel and shape the toe. A basic understanding of fair isle knitting and knitting on double pointed needles is an advantage. I would rate this pattern as intermediate to advanced. The pattern contains lots of photographs and the charts for both stockings.

The pattern also contains an alphabet chart and instructions how to add a name to the top of the stocking to make it a personalized Christmas stocking.

You may sell items made from this pattern (they sell really well!), but please don’t sell the pattern itself.

This is a very satisfying project that looks amazing, but it’s actually not too difficult and quick to knit once you get the hang of it. I’m around to answer questions if you’re stuck.
