A perfect last-minute holiday project that can be created in just a few short hours with chunky weight yarn. This stocking can be stuffed with a gift and given to that special person who will love not only the gift but the very special wrapping it came in! Worked top down with a simple German short row heel and wide enough for 16” / 40.5 cm circulars, this project is very beginner friendly.

Skills used: long tail cast on, working in the round including a small circumference, German short rows, kitchener stitch, I-cord construction
Sizes: One size.
Finished Measurements (easily adjustable)
12 ½” / 32 cm circumference. 15” / 38 cm length.

Yarn: Chunky weight
Sample shown was made with Cascade 128 Superwash in Ruby (MC) and Ecru (CC)

Approximate yardage: MC – 87 yds CC – 48 yds

Gauge:
14 sts 20 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette st. Gauge is not too important for this project but obtaining a different gauge may affect the yarn amounts required and the final size of the stocking.
Needles:
US 10.5 (6.5mm) 16” / 40.5 cm circular and preferred needles for working a small circumference in the rnd or size needed to obtain gauge.

Note: This stocking may be wide enough to be worked on 16” / 40.5 cm circular needles, but you will need to switch needles to work the toe.
