Drift Stocking is a minimalist chunky stocking that is knit toe up in the round. The 6-Stitch Spiral Cable Stitch creates the illusion of a drift of snow in winter. Its larger size will fit lots of small gifts, snacks, or toys. The perfect quick and easy knit to hang on your mantel during the Christmas season! The pattern is written to be knit with double pointed needles, but you can use circular if you prefer.
