The Nordic Star Mosaic Stocking is constructed using overlay mosaic crochet. You will work the entire stocking in the round (a continuous spiral) making color changes every “row” which is every 66 stitches.
I really love Scheepjes Colour Crafter for projects like this. The color range is huge (93 colors!!!), the DK weight is lovely, and it’s anti-pilling. It has a beautiful sheen too. I’m in the US and I find both Wool Warehouse (UK) and Jimmy Beans (US) to be excellent at getting me Scheepjes products.
You can of course sub any yarn you have access to, but please know your stocking size will likely be different if you use something other than a comparable DK weight yarn.
I would recommend always using a hook that is 1.00mm smaller than the yarn calls for.
