I made my first ever loom-knitted stocking. I made it for my 14 year old grandson for Christmas. (He liked it and also liked the goodies stuffed inside. 😉 )
I used a round red Knifty-Knitter loom.
Unfortunately, the website where the basic stocking pattern was posted has disappeared, so I had to delete the link.
I’d never attempted a sock type pattern on a knitting loom before. The heel part always seemed so intimidating. The pattern’s instructions were simple enough that I was able to do okay with the heel. (I may even try to loom-knit an actual pair of socks or house shoes someday)
The colors I chose for the stocking were so Grinchy that I couldn’t help but try to add his face to the stocking. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, but it serves the purpose.
It was fun making the stocking for my Grandson.
I’m not very skilled at looming, but I do enjoy it.
I hope you all have a nifty week.

Nice work, E.C! I imagine he was quite pleased–especially with it being full of goodies.

Knitting looms were a welcomed new craft for me to learn. I hope you try the looms, once you get the hang of if, it’s quite fun and relaxing.
Happy New Year to you too! 🙂

E.C., I’ve been rather quiet for several days and have missed your posts. But this one is grand! One of my favorite Christmas movies is about the Grinch.
