This pattern is for a Christmas stocking that features red holly berries and green holly leaves in the center and Scandinavian style details.

The pattern includes a color chart, written instructions, as well as links and QR codes to my YouTube video tutorials that will help guide you through any tricky parts you may encounter in the pattern.

The stocking is finished by adding six small jingle bells and a braided hanging loop at the top.

Finished stocking measures about 7 inches wide & 20 inches long when using the recommended yarn and needle size.

You will need 1 skein each of red, cream, and green. I prefer to use Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny.

Other materials needed:
16 inch circular knitting needle - size 6 (4mm)
Set of 5 double pointed needles - size 6 (4mm)
Stitch marker
Scissors
Small yarn needle (make sure this needle can fit through the top of your jingle bells)
6 jingle bells (between 9-12 mm in diameter)

★Follow a color chart
★Knit in the round
