Fair Isle knitting always makes me think of winter and cosy sweaters, so it seemed like a lovely choice for a Christmas Stocking. The stocking is knit toe-up, in the round (using the magic loop method), with DK-weight yarn, and uses the Fair Isle/stranded knitting technique.

The pattern includes both charts and written instructions for the Fair Isle designs, so you can use whichever you’re most comfortable with. All charts are in both black and white and colour.
