The “CRYSTAL” Christmas stocking - the second annual Fiddlestyx Christmas stocking design.

Inspired by childhood memories of catching snowflakes on my tongue, this stocking pattern features 5 different crocheted snowflake designs on a deep red background. A crisp white cuff with lace edging tops it off.
It is knit in the round from the toe up with a short-row toe and heel. The snowflakes are crocheted.
Customize it with your own name or initials - alphabet charts included.
