This chunky Christmas stocking can be both modern and rustic depending on the colour of yarn you choose. Perfect for farmhouse and simple Scandinavian home styles. An easy pattern that even beginners can whip up in a few hours, it’s a perfect gift to create when you’re short of time.

The stocking is worked from the toe up in the round. A photo tutorial talks you through how to create the heel flap. The body of the stocking is created from shell stitch to add some rustic texture, which is perfect for the farmhouse look, or create it in minimal neutral shades as I did for a more modern Scandinavian feel.
