  • Use any worsted weight yarn for this stocking. The beard should be in a fuzzy yarn. I used 2 strands of Cirrus to knit the beard.
  • The pattern explains how to eliminate some of the stripes at the top of the stocking.

  • This pattern is based on a santa stocking, circa 1980. The original manufacturer of the kit is unknown, though I have been advisd that this is a Columbia Minerva pattern from the 1950s.
