Carnahan's beautiful snow-patterned Gansey stocking.
There are also easy designs like Tara Jon Manning's Big Easy, which uses a super bulky-weight yarn. Go through Christmas Holidays 18 Stocking Treasures to knit one stocking for your kid this Christmas.
Care has been taken to represent different cultural and regional knitting styles. Candace Eisner Strick's exquisitely detailed Austrian Alpine Treasure stocking borrows from traditional Austrian traveling-stitch motifs. Meanwhile, other stockings reflect Scandinavian, Celtic, Aran, Estonian, and Victorian-inspired motifs.
The patterns on Christmas Holidays 18 Stocking Treasures to knit, don't call for a specific brand of yarn. Instead, they refer to yarns by weight, gauge, yardage, and general color. At the end of the book you'll find a large list of yarn suppliers, and, wherever possible, the list includes URLs and email addresses as well. While diverse in style, technique, and difficulty, the patterns are all clearly written, well illustrated, and easy to follow.
