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.

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.
