The Holly Jolly Heirloom Stocking is a beautiful, generously sized holiday stocking filled with the spirit of traditional fair isle colorwork. This stocking rounds out the Heirloom collection and really focuses on bringing white to the forefront highlighted by the red and greens. It is crocheted using the split single crochet stitch (also known as the waistcoat stitch, center single crochet, or knit stitch) which gives it substantial structure to hold up for many years to come. It makes for a wonderful family keepsake.
Except for the cuff, the entire stocking is crocheted in the round so there is no joining after every row. We will first make the toe with increasing rounds, then complete both foot and leg charts (leaving an opening for the heel), add a cuff, and then add the afterthought heel at the end. Finally, we will attach a leather (or crocheted if you prefer) loop so we can hang our stocking.
