Add a touch of the Gaelic to your holiday decorations with this Aran-influenced design. Both cables are taken from Barbara Walker’s A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Walker’s Staghorn Cable reminds me of a reindeer’s antlers, and the Coin Cable, of bells or Christmas tree balls. The creamy white yarn is a traditional choice for Aran knitting, but this stocking would also look great in bright, holiday colors. The choice is yours.
