Fair Isle Christmas Stocking

This is a stocking pattern I have made and tweaked over several years to its format as it is now. This pattern is dedicated to my nephew Wilfred and the picture shown is my finished project ready for him to have this Christmas.

It is knitted in the round either 5mm on double pointed needles or circular needles. I used aran weight wool to achieve a finished size of 16cm width for the body of the stocking and 51cm in total height. You can size up or down wool and needles as desired for the final size/look for the project.

For this project I used Paintbox Yarns cotton aran in the shades white, pillar red and racing green.
