About the Pattern
Cozy up your mantel this holiday season with these hand-knit stockings, bursting with color and cheer! This collection of four unique designs features vibrant jewel tones and eye-catching patterns, from a funky floral, to a traditional buffalo plaid, and a bold cheetah print.

Knit with super bulky Malabrigo Rasta, these stockings work up in a flash – perfect for when you need a quick gift (or just want to treat yourself!).

Method
These stockings are worked in the round from the top down, beginning with an I-cord loop and cuff, and then stranded knitting for the leg and foot of the stocking. The stocking features a short row heel and a grafted toe.
