Chunky Christmas Stocking Knitting Pattern

This Chunky Christmas Stocking Knitting Pattern creates a full-sized heirloom for the holidays. I love using thicker yarn to quickly knit up impressive projects. This pattern creates a sturdy and substantial piece knitted flat on a long circular needle with super bulky yarn. The bigger the yarn, the bigger the knitting needles, the faster it knits up. So simple!

There are no complicated heel and toe techniques. Instead, we easily shape the foot with a series of basic increase and decrease stitches. Get your free written pattern instructions, supply list, technique help, and video tutorial below.
