This is a fun novelty stocking designed in bright festive colours! It is worked from the top down in the round on double pointed needles and features a rib cuff, patterned leg and foot and an afterthought heel. The colour work is worked from charts using the stranded method, and does require using 3 colours at the same time for some of the motifs.
