“Thinking about Christmas Past, and hoping for a Christmas Future…”

This Christmas stocking is worked top-down and knitted in rounds - like old times. The heel is worked in a heel flap technique, but you can use any heel technique you love as it is knitted with a solid color. The pattern is accompanied by charts for easier following (and you could also use them for cross stitch).
