Inishmore Stocking is a pattern included in our 2019 Red Scarf scholarship fundraiser! All proceeds from the sale of this pattern through December 31, 2019 will go directly to our scholarship in partnership with Foster Care to Success. You can learn more about Foster Care to Success here. Our Red Scarf scholarship patterns are knit in our Bare Naked Wools Festivus 5.0 yarn in the colorway Union Suit. A portion of yarn sales go directly to the scholarship.

This richly textured stocking is a festive riot of ribbony swirls from cuff to toe! Knit from the top down, its engaging Aran cable patterns change direction constantly as the shape narrows to the heel, while staying within the theme. It's a great way to use that special, single skein of heritage wool yarn. While the overall effect is deliciously complex, the stitchwork is entirely made up of 2 x 2 cable crosses, placed within a straightforward sock construction; the instructions are both written and charted. This stocking makes a great gift and is a festive, quick knit to sit back and enjoy while getting your holiday spirit on.

Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, density, or yardage requirement.
