This christmas stocking blanket pattern shows a red Christmas stocking with a white cuff, a green heel and toe and a gold star, on a sky blue background. The blanket is 30 stitches wide and 56 rows long, in 5 colors of very chunky yarn: the toe points to the right, the heel is rounded at the back, and the gold star sits on the leg under the cuff.
Follow the chart row by row: row 1 is the top row of the picture. If your method builds the blanket from the bottom edge up, start at row 56 and work up to row 1 so the stocking is not upside down. Rows 1 to 6 are plain sky blue. The written rows and the stitch-by-stitch guide above list every run of stitches with its color.
Preview of the christmas stocking blanket
These pictures are previews made on the computer from the chart, stitch by stitch: they are not photos of a real blanket, and nobody has knitted this one yet. Every stitch sits where the chart puts it.
Up close: the white cuff and the gold star on the red stocking.
On a bed and on the wall
The same preview, laid across a bed and hung from a wooden rod, to help you picture the blanket at home.
Other colors
The PDF gives the stocking in the colors of the first picture. The same chart works in other colors: pick your own yarn, one color for each letter of the chart, like the same stocking on pine green, and in burgundy on light pink.
