THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF PATTERN, NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT. You will receive the PDF instructions to knit your own stocking, you will not receive an actual stocking.

This festive stocking is a quick knit with bulky yarn and big needles, so you can whip some up for the whole family and still have time to trim the tree and make the eggnog! Personalize each stocking with your loved one's name or initials, or add a short festive word for general holiday decoration for your home. Grab your needles and chunky wool and knit a personalized Christmas stocking for everyone on your list!

This stocking is knit toe-up in the round with a short-row heel, the same way a normal sock would be knit but on a different scale. The top is folded and seamed to create the cuff. It uses Judy’s magic cast on for the toe. Instructions work for a two-needle technique like magic loop or a 4/5-needle DPN technique. An embroidery tutorial is provided to add personalization to the cuff. A crochet chain for hanging and a decorative pom-pom and jingle bells finish it off!
