Free stocking and snowman knitting patterns

We love these charming, vintage-feel Christmas decorations! They're made in Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight wool, but you could use any 4ply yarn from your stash – a great way of using up leftovers from other projects.

If you have no more room on your tree, why not make a few to give to family and friends this festive season? You could even stuff the stocking with chocolates for someone with a sweet tooth!

Find more of Rosee's tree decorations here, and complete the set with all these plus a heart and present in the full pattern, available on Ravelry or in The Knitter issue 50.
