Add a touch of cozy charm to your festive season with the Holiday Doodle Stocking. Inspired by the motifs in holiday sweaters and Christmas wrapping, the pattern uses mix-and-match micro charts in festive motifs to allow the knitter to design a unique holiday stocking.
The pattern is worked in the round, from the top down. It begins with a ribbed cuff, then a section of “doodle” colorwork, a Mock Short Row heel, finishing with similar colorwork along the foot, and a traditional sock toe closed with Kitchener Stitch. This is a Pacific Knit Co. Doodle Series Pattern, which means it includes micro charts intended to be used as mix-and-match colorwork motifs throughout the project.
The Fibre Co. Lore is a perfect woolen-spun yarn for stranded colorwork, creating an heirloom project to be cherished for many years to come. This kit includes enough Lore to knit one Holiday Doodle Stocking.
