The pattern for this pretty Christmas stocking is now available from Herd Wool. Knitted using 3 x 50g balls of Herd Wool’s soft 100% Bluefaced Leicester DK yarn from the top down and in the round with 4.5mm needles, the finished length of the stocking is about 45cm. The instructions are clear and provide a colour chart for the two colour fair isle pattern. Casting on with an easy to knit picot edge and finishing with a barn toe, it’s a great introduction to sock knitting which produces a beautifully elegant festive knit that can be brought out year after year.
