If you love to decorate for the Holidays, then “Deck Your Halls” with this festive stocking.

Technically gratifying, the stocking is knit top down with a turned hem above a stranded-colorwork border. A forethought heel and star toe complete an interesting skill set that knitters will appreciate. Knit in DK weight, smooth superwash yarn for crisp color detail, easy-care, and durability, “Deck Your Halls” makes a perfect heirloom for passing down to future decorating generations.

Both merry and elegant. You will want to make several, both for your own halls and for gifting to others who will love your handcrafted stockings.

Techniques:
Crochet provisional cast on
Magic loop circular knitting
YO and M1 increases
Knit 2 together and SSK decreases
Stranded knitting
Kitchener stitch grafting
I-cord
