I have always loved snowflakes and think they make the perfect adornment for a stocking. They are even more special for their uniqueness. No two snowflakes are alike. Each one is a tiny masterpiece, showcasing nature’s boundless creativity. This uniqueness reminds us of the individuality and special qualities within each of us.

Our color work charts have been thoughtfully designed with user-friendliness in mind. Each chart incorporates clear and intuitive symbols, ensuring ease of reading and comprehension for every knitter. This thoughtful design means that our charts remain highly legible whether you choose to print them in color, gray-scale, or black and white. We prioritize your knitting experience, ensuring that you can effortlessly follow the pattern and create a beautiful stock with confidence.


The stocking is knit from the cuff down. Included are charts for colorwork and full alphabets for personalization. Short rows are used for the heel, I prefer German Short Rows but you can use any short row technique you like. To finish the stocking I line my stocking and attach an I-cord loop to the lining hang from. I line my stockings with felt and then block. To block I lay the lined stocking on an ironing board, cover with a damp thin towel, and then iron. When ironing, I work in small sections lifting the iron frequently and gently pressing, I never push the iron down and stretch the knitting. The hot steam blocks the stocking perfectly and the felt lining has enough structure to hold the stockings shape.
