Basic Christmas Stockings

“Start a creative tradition!” In three sizes: Wee, Medium and Jolly Big. And in any length you like. Use these simple shapes and add your own personal touches. We've given you a few ideas to get you started, but the possibilities are limitless. They're sure to prompt a hearty "Ho! Ho! Ho!" from St. Nick. ======================================== FINISHED SIZES Approx. width (half circumference): Wee: 5" / 13cm; Medium: 6½" / 16.5cm; Jolly Big: 8" / 20cm. Leg length may vary. YARN Our stockings were knit with Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted (190 yds / 174m each) See the ['Knitter's Notes'][1] on our website for the specifics of what we did with our samples. Cuff: Approx. 40 (70, 100) yds / 37 (64, 91)m of worsted-weight yarn. Leg: Approx. 70 (115, 170) yds / 64, (105, 155)m of worsted-weight yarn. This is for standard lengths; you will need approx. 10 (12, 14) yds / 9 (11, 13)m of worsted-weight yarn for each additional inch of knitted length. Heel & Toe: Approx. 20 (25, 35) yds / 18, (23, 32)m each of worsted-weight yarn. Foot: Approx. 45 (75, 105) yds / 41, (69, 96)m of worsted-weight yarn. _________________________________________ FREE ADAPTATIONS Image second from the bottom uses three skeins of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted. One skein each of three colors provides enough yarn to knit one ‘Jolly Big’, three ‘Wee’, or a combination of different stocking sizes with a variety of striping patterns. **Adaptation** to the original pattern is free and lives on the [project page][2]. Adaptation for candy cane striping is [on our website][3].
