Create the perfect holiday stocking for yourself or a loved one. Making a stocking is a fun way to learn sock-making skills. The class is designed to create a medium-sized stocking using the Basic Christmas Stockings pattern by Churchmouse. The pattern is knit in the round and features a cuff-down design with an afterthought heel. No previous sock-knitting experience is required, but knowledge of how to knit in the round and work the knit and purl stitches is necessary.
