This stocking is suitable for beginners using US terminology. As written with the recommended hook you will use one full skein of Holiday yarn and about an ounce of the cuff color. Changing the hook size will change the amount of yarn used. A smaller hook will use less yarn and yield a smaller stocking, a larger hook will make a larger stocking and use more than one skein of holiday yarn. I do test all my patterns but mistakes can happen. Please send me a message with questions or errors. You may sell the finished stockings but please give me credit as the designer. Do Not sell the pattern, do not claim it as your own. There is no refund on patterns.
