This quick knit is great for whipping up some last minute gifts, and can help use up your scrap yarn while putting together a fun, festive decoration. The body of the stocking knits up in no time, and the sky’s the limit when it comes time to decorate.

Gauge
9.5 sts and 13 rows = 4” or 10 cm in pattern. To save time, take time to make a gauge swatch.
Note. Any gauge between about 8-10sts over 4” (10cm) will work well for this pattern, which is great to keep in mind if you’re using the pattern to create scrappy, stash-buster stockings by holding multiple yarns together. As long as you’re hitting the 8-10sts/4” range, you’re in good shape!
