This pattern is for all 25 mini stranded stockings with hanging loops and garlands decorated with sprigs of holly leaves and berries. Each stocking is unique and has motifs inspired by the winter holidays and seasonal nature themes. The stranded colourwork includes numbers from 1-25 with a hanging loop to be used as an Advent Calendar. They make perfect gift wrap for small holiday gifts. They look good on a holidays card too. My neighbours are getting some with their house number on.
The pattern also contains sprigs of holly leaves and berries. Stockings can hang on a single or multiple knitted cords

CONSTRUCTION
Stockings are knitted like mini top-down socks with short row heels and a grafted toe and full instructions are included for both with links to tutorial videos on each technique for those wishing to try sock knitting for the first time. Each stocking contains detailed motifs which fits perfectly into the 22-stitch/2 inch width.

ERRATA:
Stranded Colourwork Leg
In the PDF pattern, Stocking 7 Chart is printed the wrong way up as the stockings are knitted cuff down. You won’t need to change anything on the chart design; just print it as normal, then turn your piece of paper upside down when it’s time to work it. After completing Ribbed Cuff, working Cuff down, start from Rnd 39 and finish with Rnd 6 as shown on the printed chart.
