PATTERN NOTES
This stocking is knit in the round from the top down and features an afterthought heel. The cuff is folded inward and tacked down by working live stitches together with the cast-on edge (instructions are given for sewing this down instead if desired). An I-Cord is added during finishing to hang the stocking.
