Christmas stocking circular needles

Create a traditional hand-knitted Christmas stocking with this seamless circular-needle knitting pattern from MK Crafts UK.

Worked from the cuff down using the magic-loop method, the stocking features a wide contrast ribbed cuff, smooth stocking-stitch body, shaped German short-row heel and a short, blunt sock-style toe finished with Kitchener stitch. As it is knitted entirely in the round, there is no side seam to sew.

The generous finished size makes it ideal for hanging by the fireplace and filling with Christmas treats, small gifts and festive surprises. Choose classic red and white or personalise your stocking using any two contrasting DK yarn colours.
