Not your traditional Christmas Stocking but so cute!

A quick knit that can be customized for the whole family.
One of the charts provide instructions to make 8 small owls instead of 4 for the little ones. You can also make this stocking longer using any of the three charts provided that offer two additional fairisle patterns to be knit in more traditional colors: cream, red, gold, purple or green.

Knitted in the round starting at the top with a reinforced integrated border down to the toes grafted with a Kitchener stitch. The only other sewing required is to attach the i-cord tab and fix the inside border.

The short version measures 15 inches long by 7.5 inches wide and the longer version measures 18 inches.
