Christmas stockings are such a joy to knit. I have a large collection of patterns.....and draw inspiration from those patterns as well as from charted stitches. After all, this is just a giant sock (I just knit them - I don't have to fill them.) that needs to be sturdy.
As new family members arrive, I like to make them their own stocking. The three stocking to the right in the above picture belong to my aunt's granddaughters.
They are all from Annie's Woolen's kits which I highly recommend. While the yarn is on the rustic side, no one will be wearing these and it is much more important that they last.
I still have the felt and sequins stocking one of my grandmother's made for me. It does not come out anymore. The memories of seeing that stocking hanging from the mantel on the morning of St. Nick's day still linger.....I want a new generation to have that same joy.
