Make It Your Own
Want to add a little Christmas tree, an initial, or a design of your own? Before you knit the stocking body, count how many stitches across and how many rows high you have in the area you want to decorate. Mark out that space on the graph paper and draw your motif inside it. Each box represents one stitch across and one row high.
