Steps
-
Step 1 of 6
Print pattern template. Cut out fabric.
-
Step 2 of 6
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.
-
Step 3 of 6
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.
-
Step 4 of 6
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.

Step 5 of 6
Braid yarn for a hanging loop, if desired. Stitch loop inside stocking at side seam.
