When I was younger, my favorite part of Christmas was opening the stocking presents. My grandmother had made wonderful knit stockings with all of our initials on them, that could fit anything and everything that could be put into a stocking! They stretched and bulged, and lost their shape so many presents were put into them, but they made for a real Christmas feeling! Over the years, families moved, and the stockings were eventually lost in the folly, but this year, I decided to take on the project to re-make this christmas stockings for this winter.

I had 14 stockings to knit and I knit about 2 a week, and the best thing about this pattern is how fast it knits up! If you’re a quick knitter, you can finish one in about 2 days. So, get your needles out, you’ve got about a month left to get them done!

I used Red Heart yarn because it’s inexpensive and I had to make quite a few stockings, but anything worsted weight works fine.
