Practice keeping your tension perfect while creating a cherished family heirloom with these grand stockings. Using worsted weight yarn and size 6 needles, you will be thrilled how quickly these stockings will be hung on your mantle. The designs on both stockings are worked with two colors per row, limiting the number of yarns you need to carry. If you have wanted to add color work to your knitting repertoire, these stockings are a wonderful place to start.

2019 Update:
Yarn used for the updated version is Berroco “Vintage” in the following colors: #5134 (Red), #5152 (Green), #5101 (White), and #5103 (Brown).

Only 1 skein of each color (except brown, in which approx 2 yards is needed and only used for the tree stocking) will make 2 stockings, if colors are reversed/done as the directions specify.
