The Colorwork Christmas Stocking pattern includes 2 colorwork charts, a letter chart (A-Z), and the written pattern.

Note:
You will work the cuff, then the body of the stocking (including the name rows, and the afterthought heel row with scrap yarn), followed by the foot and toe. To finish, you will need to use the Kitchener stitch. I read the pattern “upside down” (working right to left) because of how the stocking forms as you work.
I chose to use Caron One Pound for this stocking but you can use any category 4 yarn. You can even switch up the colors if you’re knitting for a Sports Fan (i.e Gold/Purple in place of Green/Red for the MN Vikings; Skol!) The yarn is easy to work with and you can make a lot of stockings from the approx. 800 yd ball of each noted color.
