This stocking uses short rows for shaping, and the reindeer has i-cord antlers and a pompom nose. This pattern is worked flat on single pointed needles (not in the round) to make it more accessible to knitters of all abilities. The hanging loop is a single crochet chain worked on a crochet hook, and the antlers are i-cord tubes worked on two DPNs.

Note this is a decorative item, and is not designed to be worn.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the stocking knitted in acrylic DK yarns.
