Twinkle and Shine Stockings
Twinkle and Shine Stockings
The Twinkle and Shine Stockings include two designs made from the same yarns, but each with their own unique style. The Twinkle Lights Stocking shows off with colorful textured bobbles, while the Starshine Stocking has layers of stranded colorwork stars. Knit from the top down, both stocking designs start with two-color ribbing and have a mock short-row heel. They’re variations on a theme—perfect to knit for your family and friends.
