Product Description
From Library Journal
Socks are fun to knit, but many knitters finish the first of a pair and lose interest. Enter the Christmas stocking an ideal gift, and you only have to knit one! This collection includes a great variety of patterns by leading knitwear designers. There are cabled socks, Argyle socks, Fair Isle and Intarsia socks, Victorian lace socks, and even a whimsical sock monkey Christmas stocking. Patterns are grouped by level of difficulty, and each includes complete instructions and full-page color illustrations. Also included is a chapter on designing your own. This is a real treasure for public libraries, as such patterns are normally found only in seasonal magazines not in the book form preferred by libraries.

A stocking for everyone,
By A. Reader (Boise, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Stockings: Holiday Treasures to Knit (Paperback)
For years I have knitted Christmas stockings for friends and finally resorted to designing my own patterns because most of the patterns I found were ultimately ugly and clumsy. This book, however, contains unique patterns that will please any taste. I always like to put names on my stockings, so a little pattern editing is necessary, but otherwise the designs are excellent. The yarns range from bulky to fingering weight, and the designs range from nordic-inspired to Victorian to a dog's stocking. Certainly the best Christmas stocking patterns I have found.

Great for learning how to knit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Christmas Stockings: Holiday Treasures to Knit (Paperback)
I just checked this book out of the public library today and as soon as I looked through it, I got on the computer to buy it!!! I am just starting to learn how to knit and these projects are fun and simple enough for me to make. Plus, they will make great gifts for the holidays.
