Clever Hands Knitting Pattern 29

Christmas stocking with a simple 2 colour fairisle pattern in 8 ply. Fill your stockings with treats or small gifts. It’s the perfect way to say thank you at Christmas. This pattern will make approximately 5 stockings.

This stocking pattern uses two festive colours in a simple fairisle pattern. Two graphs are provided with the pattern. They are each on an A4 size sheet, in colour, and easy to follow. The white stocking edging and the loop used to hang the stocking from the Christmas tree are worked in garter or knit stitch. There are few rows with simple decreases at either the beginning or end of the row, and three seams to sew together. A great way to practice some basic fairisle knitting and sewing skills.
