A beautiful stocking hanging from the mantle is a quintessential part of holiday season décor in many homes. Whether you fill it with treats or use it just for decoration, the Snow Globe Stocking is a great way to spice up your wintertime knits. A medley of colors in our Deluxe Bulky Superwash yarn is worked in a stranded colorwork pattern on the leg, as well as a contrast heel and toe. Rico Design Creative Bubble is held together with Deluxe Bulky Superwash in some parts of the stocking to introduce an iridescent snowy effect that gave this pattern its namesake.
