Christmas Stocking

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

20 sts + 28 rows = 4" (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Wind half of A into a second ball. When changing colors, twist colors on WS co avoid holes.
