Simple Christmas Stocking

October 12, 2014

I am on a Christmas stocking kick. I'm trying to figure out the best style for our family before the baby gets here! This weekend, I made these simple stockings. I used a free pattern on Ravelry from Kirsten Hipsky.

Pattern Notes:

• I used Lion's Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn.
• I used size 9 circular needles and the magic loop method. See this great video from Very Pink on how to do simple magic loop.
• Love how this cuff is made - you basically do a stockinette stitch and then fold the cuff over to get a nice, stable cuff.
• This pattern uses an afterthought heel. This is my first attempt at it, and I really like how it comes out. It's much easier than wrapping and turning (for me).
