Merry, Bright & Striped: Knit a Chevron Christmas Stocking

Get into the holiday spirit and knit a colorful Christmas stocking that's as fun to make as it is to display!

In this festive workshop, you'll create a classic chevron-striped stocking using two or more colors of your choice. Learn techniques to create beautifully aligned stripes, shape the heel and toe, and finish your stocking with a hanging loop.

Choose traditional holiday colors, go bold and bright, or create your own unique combination. Your handmade stocking will be a holiday keepsake to treasure for years to come!
