This classic knitted Christmas stocking is a quick, satisfying make, with a garter stitch cuff, heel and toe that let the long colour changes of Patons Sierra 8 ply shine. Just one ball makes a stocking, so knit one for everyone in the family.

The Knit Stocking is worked in the round from the top down, starting with a garter stitch cuff before moving into stocking stitch. The heel is shaped with garter stitch short rows, and the toe is worked back and forth in garter stitch, gathered and seamed. Finished with an i-Cord hanging loop. Intermediate skills required to work the short row heel.
