This is the 23nd in a series of 24 linked patterns, published daily in December 2014, to decorate a knitted Gingerbread House. The last four patterns are for a set of gingerbread ornaments to keep in the house.

This pattern is for a gingerbread stocking. It is about 9 cm / 3½“ tall and can either be embroidered or ‘iced’ with more knitting. The stockings are knitted with ginger DK weight yarn. If you are making the iced version you will also need some 4 ply cream yarn and 2. 25 mm / US size 1 needles.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
