Simply Art © Simply Basic © Christmas Stocking Knitting Pattern II
With Jingle Bells - Regular Size
This pattern is for a simple basic Christmas stocking that is easy to knit in worsted weight yarn on one circular needle. It is based on old-fashioned classic stockings, similar to what I myself had as a child. The single design has the name at the top, and decorative braid bows complete with jingle bells. Alphabet and number charts are included, and the charts are in color for ease of reading. The pattern is written for a finished stocking length of 21 inches from the top cuff to the toe tip, with a 13 inch circumference around the top cuff.
It is easy to knit – the sample stocking took less than 24 hours to knit.
Intarsia (two-color) knitting is not as easy to accomplish with circular knitting as it is with flat knitting. The simple characters in this pattern are not all that difficult to knit due to their concise design of simple letters and numbers. For a definition of intarsia knitting, please visit this link. My knitting charts are also available individually for integration into this pattern, recommended for the intermediate to advanced knitter, please see the individual charts at Simply Art (c) Simply Basic (c) Knit Charts.

Stitch knowledge required: Knit, purl, slip stitch for casting on, increasing knitwise, knit 2 together, binding off Circular needle knitting creates the stockinette stitch by knitting each round, while straight-needle knitting creates the stockinette stitch by knitting one row and then purling one row. Both stitch methods are used in this pattern.
