Holiday 1 Doodle Stocking
To purchase on Ravelry, see Holiday Doodle Stocking.
This pattern uses mix-and-match micro charts to allow the knitter to design their own holiday stocking. Modular instructions include flexible options for the upper ribbing, length, and width of the finished stocking.
Inspired by the festive motifs in holiday sweaters, Christmas wrapping, and Starbucks cups, all of the charts are designed to work together to create something completely unique, within an easy-to-follow structure.
Use these charts alone, or add in any other charts from the expanded Doodle Series!
