      Hi Jody To make the stocking bigger you can use thicker yarn with a larger hook – if you don’t have any thicker yarn to hand you can always use two strands of the same yarn held together

    Hi I managed to make the stocking. I would like to make one a little smaller…am I best to start with less stitches or smaller hook? Also I’m not very good at the completing of it, so I’ll need to work on the edges. Thank you it was so easy to follow for a newbie.

      Hi Angela You’re welcome, I’m glad you like it! To make one smaller I’d recommend using a smaller hook, and possibly thinner yarn. That way you don’t have to adjust the pattern at all.
