Bring a wee bit of Highland magic to your holiday hearth with this stranded Christmas Stocking pattern. Inspired by Scotland’s rolling hills and woolly flocks, the design combines timeless Fair Isle motifs with festive charm.

Worked in natural, earthy shades, the stocking features a proud row of Christmas trees and a cheerful parade of sheep-reminiscent of a wintry glen on a frosty morning. Each stitch carries the tradition of Scottish knitting, blending heritage and holiday spirit into a keepsake piece that feels both rustic and refined.

Perfect for tucking in treasures, sweets, or even a hank of your favorite yarn, this stocking is as joyful to knit as it is to hang upon the mantel. Whether crafted for bairns, loved ones, or your own fireside it is sure to become a beloved heirloom for Christmases to come.
