Stocking Construction

CASTING ON STITCHES

Begin by casting on 28 stitches on your straight knitting needle in Color A yarn, which is white in my sample.

---

TOP-DOWN CONSTRUCTION

This pattern is knitted top-down. So, after casting on 28 stitches in Color A, you will knit ten rows in the 2×2 Rib Stitch Pattern to form the top cuff of the stocking.

---

CHANGING YARN COLOR

Follow the written pattern to knit up the colorful stripes in the smooth Stockinette Stitch.

PRO TIP! Each time the pattern has you changing yarn color, make certain to do so while knitting the right side of your knitted piece. This assures that your colored stripes will look neat and bold without any purl dash lines. In my sample, Color B is in red.

---

WRONG SIDE OF KNITTED WORK

Here’s a quick look at what the wrong side of your knitting will look like. This is the back side of the stocking, which does have never-to-be-seen purl dash lines and reverse stockinette stitch.

---

TACKING STOCKING TOGETHER TO FINISH

Once you have completed knitting and decreasing all 46 rows of your stocking, it is time to cast off your stitches and tack the stocking’s edges together.

Fold your piece with the right sides touching. This will have the wrong side on the outside so you can easily tack the piece together using yarn and a tapestry needle.

Simply fold right-side out and you are done!
