I love "daughters-in-love" - what a neat way to say it! One of our daughters (who's also taught some knitting classes) and the oldest granddaughter handknit; the other daughter and her kids do some loom knitting. The Little Christmas Stocking pattern will work for any size yarn, just use needles that give you a fabric you're happy with. I usually use Size 1 (2.5mm) needles for sock weight yarn, probably 3 (3.25mm)-4 (3/5mm) for sport, and 6 (4mm)-7 (4.5mm) for worsted weight, but I'm a fairly loose knitter. The size of the stocking will change with the different yarns, but you'd use the same directions. Happy knitting! Thanks for stopping by – I’m so glad you like the pattern!

It is adorable! I would like to make them for NEXT Christmas. What type of yarn (size) and size needles would you use to make these. I don't knit enough to know how to figure that out. I too learn to quilt and embroider from my great-grandmother and treasure those memories. I have had the oppotunity to share all these including knitting with my daughter and daughters-in-love. Thanks you for your help. I recently found your free pattern for the Little Christmas Stocking. It is adorable! I would like to make them for NEXT Christmas.

You were right the flowers were beautiful and it's a shame they were flattened by the storm. I finally made it out here.

I'm still surprised to see that someone even looks at it. I have subscribed to yours thru my Google Reader and will keep tabs on you. The Missouri Ozarks are a beautiful place, I have been there in the Rolla area and once thought to retire there. Cheers, Roberta Joy, it is a pleasure to meet you.
