Uses Double strands of Worsted Wt. #4 yarn and I hook, but can be done with one strand and an H hook - the stocking will just be a little smaller. Made with thinner yarn and a smaller hook makes a great little ornament or gift card holder. 2 versions in pattern: one with bobbles throughout, and also the option to leave the top part of the stocking smooth so you can attach an applique. Have fun!
