This simple stocking pattern gives you a very basic stocking that you can put a name on. Since it’s very simple it is also very easy to add your own patterns to it and use this pattern as just a guideline to the shape you want. Anyone familiar with sock knitting will find this pattern very straight forward. If you’re not familiar with sock knitting it could be a bit tricky as you learn about heel flaps, turning a heel, and picking up gusset stitches.
