The tassel embellishment is optional. To make it, see the how-to.

Tools and Materials

• 1/2 yard tartan wool fabric
• Sewing supplies
• Yarn (optional)
• Kilt pin (optional)

1. Print pattern template. Cut out fabric.
2. Fringe the cuff piece on 3 sides, carefully pulling strands from the wool’s weave to create fuzzy, frayed edges; leave 1 long edge intact.
3. With right sides facing, sew perimeter of stocking with a 1/4- inch seam allowance, leaving top open. Trim seam allowance along heel and toe to prevent puckering.
4. Fold cuff piece so fringed short sides overlap a bit more than 1 inch. Wrap it around to top of sewn stocking, and adjust overlap as needed so cuff width matches stocking width. Pin to secure. Sew around top edge of stocking with 1/4-inch seam allowance. Turn right side out.
5. Braid yarn for a hanging loop, if desired. Stitch loop inside stocking at side seam.
6. Attach kilt pin where fringed cuff overlaps. Slide on tassel.
