Rows 4-46:

Rep Row 2 & 3 for each st around the band. With WS facing, sl st the cuff together. When slip stitching work through the blo of the last row to the starting chain. Fasten off and weave in tails.

Tassel

Cut 30 yarn strands that are 15 inches long each. Cut two additional strands at 25-inches in length. Next, tie and knot the 30 strands together with the 25-inch yarn strand at the halfway point. Tie the 2nd 25-inch yarn length tightly around all the strands, creating a small ball shape. Knot and weave ends under the ball. Trim. If adding decorative wooden beads, thread them down the twine toward the tassel ball with a yarn needle. Finally, attach the tassel to the stocking by tying it securely with the yarn tail to the bottom edge of the band seam.

I-cord for Hanging

Begin with a long tail 25″. Join yarn to the top of the folded band at the seam with a sl st. *YO (yarn over) the hook with the tail, YO with the working yarn, and pull through two loops on the hook; repeat from * for a total of 15 sts. Slip stitch to the band. Fasten off knot tails and trim. Alternatively, attach a faux leather garment tag for hanging.

Blocking

Place the stocking on a piece of cardboard and trace its shape. Cut out the stocking shape and insert the cardboard inside. This step is crucial for ensuring the stocking maintains its best appearance. After blocking, the stocking will retain its shape and achieve a polished look. You can also store or hang your stocking with the cardboard inside to preserve its perfect shape. I recommend saving shipping boxes for this purpose.
