I wanted something fast and simple and boy this fits the bill. I have been knitting for about 3 hours and all I have left to do is the toe. Nicely written pattern. I used the thick and quick yarn, creamy white for the cuff (I doubled the ribbing, so I can turn the cuff) and cranberry for the body of the stocking. I left off the eyelet row, after all Harley is a boy, no bow. I am going to stitch his name on the finished stocking. I will have enough yarn left to make another stocking as well, perfect.

Life gets in th...Sorry my reply has taken so long. Life gets in the way of blogging sometimes... In any case, YO would be the same regardless of which knitting style you use. Simply bring the yarn up between the needles and put it on the opposite side of the work from where it started. For example, for the red stocking, your working yarn is carried in back of the work. To "YO," which is an abbreviation for "Yarn Over," simply bring the yarn to the front of the work, then continue working the rest of the row. What this ends up doing is giving you and extra stitch on your current row, and when you work the subsequent row, it will leave a little "hole," which will later be used to thread the ribbon through. I hope this helps!

It would make a difference if you did it with the yarn in front, because you'd get little horizontal "lines" of yarn in front of every slipped stitch.....and you want those to be running on the wrong side (purl side), not the right side (knit side). Also, I would knit it onto a free needle.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about asking too many questions! I'm so glad if I can help!

I tried to find the yarn I had leftover from making the stocking, and I wasn't able to locate it, though I had a solid color, so I'm pretty sure it was about 100 yards or so...and, I don't think I had very much left over. My hunch is that 75 yards will not be quite enough. However, you might try using one of your 100 yard skeins first, and measure how much you have left over. Subtract that number from the yardage of the original skein, and you will then know how much yarn it took to knit the sock. If you find that 75 yards will not be enough, you might try making a stocking with stripes, or making your toe and heel in a contrasting color. I hope this helps! Good luck, and thank you so much for your note!YarnThrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261414607842071918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21586300.post-29922348924838036862007-10-02T14:59:00.000-07:002007-10-02T14:59:00.000-07:00Hi there!
