This listing is for a PDF KNITTING PATTERN. Beautiful, isn’t it? Create your own picture perfect Christmas by knitting up this classic piece of home decor. As the result of a trip to Norway, I was inspired by the beautiful designs that were used in the knitting from Selbu, the home of the now famous “Selbu Mittens”. This Christmas stocking incorporates one of the larger star/rose style motifs with borders of “endless roses” both at the top of the stocking and the toe. Techniques for knitting the stocking include broken rib for the cuff at the top of the stocking, knitting with two colors at the same time and catching floats, working a flap heel, round toe and an I-cord hanging loop. This pattern makes a generously sized stocking with a finished size of about 16 inches around and 24 inches top to toe. This stocking is worked in a heavy worsted weight but a finer yarn could be used to make a smaller stocking. Yarn: Heavy Worsted Weight – Main Color - 4oz/200yds, Contrast Color - 2.5oz/125yds. Gauge: 17.5 sts per 4 inches. The gauge is not critical in this project but you will want a fairly tight, smooth fabric. If you knit very loosely try a smaller needle size. If you would like a smaller stocking choose a light worsted weight or DK weight yarn and smaller needles to match those suggested by yarn.
