Perhaps you prefer color patterning to textured knitting. Today's post focuses on two fair-isle patterned Christmas stocking patterns, both knitted with worsted-weight yarn.

| Christmas Trees Stocking |
This stocking has a Christmas Tree pattern on the top, and poinsettias along the leg. The heel is worked in a stripe pattern, using short rows to turn the heel. The 10-page pattern includes fair isle charts, and lots of instructions and photos of the techniques used in the pattern.
Another fair-isle Christmas stocking pattern is the Poinsettia Stocking. This one is somewhat similar to the Christmas Trees Stocking, but with a slightly different look.

| Poinsettia Stocking |
The Poinsettia Stocking has a Poinsettia pattern on the top, with a striped pattern on the leg and foot. This 10-page pattern has a chart for the fair isle pattern, and written instructions for the rest of the sock. Many photos of the techniques used are included, as well as tips and technique instruction. The sock is knitted from Loops & Threads Impeccable (one skein each of two colors), or use your favorite worsted-weight yarn; needle sizes 6
and 8.
Here are a couple of close-ups of the completed stocking. The sock has an attached I-cord hanging loop.
Either of these two stockings would make a lovely, long-lasting gift for a friend or loved one.
