We took a long time on this knit-along. Over the years we have loved hearing stories about your favorite aunt, or precious moms and grandparents who made sure that every new child or spouse had their very own stocking to welcome them into the family. We know a lot of new knitters turn to the art to continue that tradition. Every month we get requests for resources on these wonderful stockings and now we have a full tutorial for every skill level that takes a knitter through every single stitch. For all of those patiently waiting, thank you for your excitement on our KZbin channels and other Social Platforms, we are so excited that you are excited and hope you will join us for more projects throughout the year. We have more exciting projects on the way.

I hadn't knitted in maybe 30 years & what an amazing follow along tutorial! I'd made the MM Puppy & Kitten & Snowman & Rudolph & Mary Jane & Sneaker years ago, but this refresher was what I needed to now make them for our great grands! Thank you so much for your thorough & steady tutorial. 🎄🎅☃🥰🙏

Thank you so much for this series of videos! I am a suuuuper beginner knitter and it fell on me to make a stocking for my son to match the rest of the family’s. Definitely would not have been able to accomplish this without the visual assistance!

[@cherylrobinson6590]

thank you so much for making a video. however, may i suggest that when you are using white yarn to use a dark background

[@AprilBensen]

I wouldn’t have been able to do this without these videos! Thank you. Do you press/iron it to make it flat? Mine is curling.

[@marymaximofficial]

Hi April, thank you so much for following along. Where do you find it curling?

[@AprilBensen]

@@marymaximofficial I should be able to finish the toe of the stocking today. I found some videos late last night on blocking which was new to me too. The stocking is curling along the sides of the pattern. I would love to send you a picture to get your feedback. I believe blocking is what is needed but would love your feedback. I don’t see an option to include a photo with this comment

[@marymaximofficial]

@@AprilBensen That is going to happen because of the stockinette stitch. You shouldn't need to block it, but the very last step is to seam that edge together. I show how to seam it in the last video right after we show how to do the kitchner stitch in the toe. That will stop it from curling. Keep us updated, and let us know how it finishes, you are so close!

@@marymaximofficial As I lay this stocking next to the ones my mother in law did, hers are very much flatter. I am not convinced after comparing that seaming will look like hers. Thank you so much for your quick replies. I excited to be so close to finishing!
