12 Days of a Vintage Handmade Holiday — Day 1
They’re comfortable, warm — yes, even sexy — and fashionably popular decade after decade. This stocking pattern is one from the archive of classy 1930s styles. So many vintage knitted stocking patterns required 4 needles, but this one (thankfully) requires only 2 and is much easier to work. Moss stitch panels with a lattice stripe between gives these stockings a pretty, lacy, delicate look.
Keep in mind that vintage patterns many times reference yarn brands no longer available, but do reference yarn types. Because this pattern originated in the UK, it references 2 ply yarn which equates to “baby” weight yarn for USA knitters. So for this pattern choose a delicate, baby weight or “sock” yarn. Also, knitting needles referenced are the old UK #14, which converts to US size 0 or UK size 2mm for those using metric.

I absolutely LOVE those stockings! What a cute pattern. Vintage patterns are all the rage lately – they’re classic and will never go out of style.

I d like the free stocking pattern please
found this pattern for knitted stockings on website and got just a little frustrated when the link to the free pattern kept coming up with error please go back to previous page or home page and try again!!!
Should be fixed now.
The link for the pattern isn’t working again (:<
This pattern was actually from 2010 (long before I started) but it looks like it was temporarily free and isn’t any more. I don’t know if the website still actually exists, but on the Wayback Machine I’m seeing this.
if it isnt gonna work, you could atleast delete the site.
