Polaris Christmas Stocking

"Polaris (or the northern star) is very a bright star on the northern sky that stands almost motionless in the sky, and all the stars of the northern sky appear to rotate around it. This stocking is worked cuff-down in the round. The pattern is written for the magic loop method but can be adjusted for double-pointed needles as well. The cable pattern consists of twisted stitches and does not require a cable needle. The stitch pattern is available both written and charted. Knitted with bulky yarn and the pattern has one size. Finished with i-cord edging."
