I love holiday knits, so an oversized stocking made with The Wool suited my wants perfectly. I wanted a folded cuff and a classic shape. I went with a smaller needle than you would usually use for yarn this big, but I wanted a dense fabric so the stocking could be filled without destroying the shape. And finally, it’s knit inside out so you get the reverse stockinette look without purling the whole thing.
