This 12-page pattern creates a beautifully textured stocking, using Bavarian Twist Stitch patterns. The stocking is knitted from the top down, starting with an I-cord band, and picking up stitches along the edge for the body of the stocking. The pattern is written out, but contains both charts and written instructions for the body of the stocking, the gusset shaping, and the foot of the stocking.

The pattern includes a Technique Feature on picking up and knitting stitches from I-cord, as well as a photo tutorial on turning the heel and picking up gusset stitches. In addition to the charts, the pattern includes photos of pattern details, technique illustrations, and pictures of the finished stocking.
