Christmas Traditional Stocking Knit A Long

Can I just tell you how excited I am! I know I keep saying that but it's really hard to express through a screen. I am smiling from ear to ear as I pour myself another cup of coffee and sit down to a craft-cation! That's right. Kind of like a stay-cation but only with yarn. Which makes is wonderful.

Christmas Stocking Notes:

This Christmas Knit Stocking is worked from top-down with a German short row heel. To begin, a provisional cast-on is used so the fur cuff to be worked later. If another cast-on method is preferred stitches can be picked up later. The textured stitches are a combination of knit and purl stitches.

Special Stitches

k2tog - knit two together: place right hand needle under the second and then the first stitch of the left needle as if to knit, knit the two stitches together and pull them off the left needle.

ssk - slip, slip, knit: slip the first stitch on the left hand needle as if to knit, repeat with the second stitch on the left hand needle, insert the left hand needle into the front loops of theses stitches from left to right, wrap yarn around right hand needle and knit the two slipped stitches together.
