Inspired by a vintage Christmas stocking, this “Santa And Christmas Tree” stocking will be approximately 24” from cuff to toe when finished. The original called for beads and sequins; this version is a bit simpler, made with all yarn.

All yarn is worsted weight acrylic (like Red Heart®), except for Santa’s beard which can be either a nylon-acrylic blend (less fuzzy) or Angora (more fuzzy and more expensive).

1 8 oz skein light green (approx. 75 yd)
1 8 oz skein white (approx. 70 yd)
1 8 oz skein bright red (approx. 60 yd)
1 8 oz skein dark green (approx 12 yd)
1 8 oz skein black (approx. 5 yd)
1 8 oz skein white Angora/nylon-acrylic blend or equivalent (approx. 4 yd)
1 8 oz skein peach/pink (approx. 3 yd)

For the yellow and blue “lights” on the tree, a couple feet of whatever colors you’d like to use will do.
