I knitted 35 such stocking ornaments last October for a custom order on Etsy. They are quick and fun to make and look amazing on a Christmas tree or as part of the dinner table decoration. If you are not quite sure if you want to commit to a larger fair isle project, this is the perfect stocking to see how you like it. One stocking takes an experienced knitter (me anyway) about 2 hours.

The charts are included in colour and black and white.

A basic understanding of fair isle knitting and knitting on double point needles is an advantage. I would rate this pattern as intermediate. The pattern contains lots of photographs.
