This is a pattern worked in the round that is simple, quick(ish), and easy to customise. I hope you like it. If you use the pattern I’d love to see pictures of your finished projects!

You will need a 4mm hook and aran weight yarn in two or more colours (I used Stylecraft Special Aran but any aran or worsted weight yarn should be fine). You’ll need less than 100g in total. My finished stockings weighed 60 to 65g each.

Approximate length of the three colour stocking is 27 cm, width across the top of cuff 15 cm, heel to toe approx 21 cm (two colour stocking is 4 cm longer).

The pattern comes in two slightly different sizes as the dimensions of the first one weren’t quite what I wanted, but I decided to post both versions to offer a bit of variety.

Finished size will depend on your own tension, although as a stocking is a decorative item, tension isn’t too important here. I’m using a smaller than the recommended size hook for the yarn to produce a nice firm fabric, but if it’s too firm go up a size, and if it’s too loose or floppy go down a size.
