There are 2 versions of the pattern available. One is written specifically for the Legacy Fiber Artz kit. The second version is written as a stash-busting pattern where colours are not specified. Please be sure to select the one you are looking for.

A one-size-fits-all stocking pattern for the young and young at heart that are definitely not on the Naughty list.

An all over, colourwork pattern designed for the 2021 Legacy Fiber Artz Advent Calendar, this pattern is perfect for using up little bits of leftovers, minis, advent calendars you haven’t quite used up, or just whatever suits your holiday decor. A super fun and satisfying project in scraps that happens to look absolutely brilliant knit in just 2 colours as well. Get creative with this one…you can use whatever you want.

GAUGE: 38 sts x 38 rows = 4” (10 cm) in colourwork on US2 (2.75 mm needles). Although matching gauge is not terribly important for this project, you do want to make sure your fabric is tight enough to hold its shape once it’s stuffed with goodies. You will also need to match gauge to ensure you don’t run out of Vanilla Bean if you are using the Legacy Fiber Artz Advent Kit.

This stocking was inspired by vintage Christmas tree ornaments … the shiny baubles of our youth that brought charm and sparkle to the holiday season. The colours and patterns in the stocking combine to evoke memories of those ornaments … of Christmases past … the tradition of bringing out precious boxes of beloved decorations year after year and greeting them as old friends. I hope creating this heirloom piece brings you joy while you craft it, as well as year after year when you enjoy it as part of your holiday celebration.
