Knitted Christmas Stocking

Hi

I was shopping today and saw a very simple knit christmas stocking in
a yarn store. The only way to get the pattern was to buy the yarn and
they didn't have the yarn in stock and won't have until the new year.

The stocking was knit in two pieces (front and back) and the toe and
heel were white.

Does anyone know here I could find a very basic christmas stocking. I
have done a google search but haven't had any luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

How about, cast on 60 using worsted yarn, knit until you're tired of
it, then turn a shallow heel and off down the foot? Add whatever
patterning (texture or color) you like.

There is a very simple one at Lion Brand from their Chenille and Fur
Go to: http://www.lionbrand.com
and click on Free Patterns: Knitted
It's in the Accessories under Santa Stocking. It's really cute.

Also on http://www.Freepatterns.com they have a couple of stockings listed

Thanks so much for your help. I am going to be looking at these
patterns closely tomorrow and hopefully start one of them.

Take care,

I guess I can say that I am extremely stubborn and determined. Last
night we went back to that yarn store and I got the pattern. No yarn
but the pattern.

This morning I have been knitting and have finished the front of a
green and white socking. Now I think I am going to go for a walk and
pick up some red yarn (none in my stash) so that I can make a red
stocking.

My DH was happy that I finally got the pattern that I wanted and it
feels good knowing that if you ask sometimes things work out.

Take care

e pattern as I am a novice knitter and think I could manage a 2 piece
stocking pattern.
I am sorry that I never met you in person while we lived in Brampton
(moved back to Winnipeg on Nov 15/04) but my dh works in Toronto
regularly... he's there now for a week... so I could maybe send him to
get me the pattern. Since you didn't find an on-line pattern source I
hope you can help me out here.
TIA
