APPROXIMATE SIZE:
YARN USED FOR SAMPLE:
Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride Worsted
85% wool - 15% mohair
100 grams - 190 yards
3 pull skeins
For your stocking to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important.
It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase
NEEDLES:
size 9 straight needles; or size needles to obtain the correct gauge
size 9 double pointed needles
OTHER NOTIONS:
gauge ruler
2 ring markers
tapestry needle
GAUGE:
20 stitches and 26 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch on size 9 needles
You should use the recommended gauge, but it does not have to be as precise as for a sweater. If you are knitting tighter than the recommended gauge, the stocking will be smaller and use less yarn. If you are knitting looser than the recommended gauge, the stocking will be larger, use more yarn and need more stocking stuffer presents. Try different size needles if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
SKILL LEVEL:
Projects with a variety of stitches, such as basic cables and lace, simple intarsia, double-pointed needles and knitting in the round needle techniques, mid-level shaping and finishing.
