PATTERN NOTES
These stockings are worked from the top down, in the round with an afterthought heel. Color changes are achieved through the stranded method of knitting. Carry unused colors loosely inside work. When changing to a new color at the beginning of the round, bring the new color around the other strands to prevent holes from forming in the work. Each kit includes enough yarn to make both versions of this stocking. You may wish to place markers between pattern repeats to help you stay on track.
