Until you've hung your stockings with care, it just doesn't quite feel like Christmastime. These traditional decorations are a huge part of how many people decorate for and celebrate Christmas, and yet many of us settle for mass-produced stockings devoid of character. This Christmas, use one of these knitted stocking patterns to add some festive handcrafted charm to your mantle with a Christmas stocking you knit yourself. With this, you can personalize your Christmas decorating in a way that isn't possible with store-bought stockings.
