DIRECTIONS:

Stockings:
Print template pages. Print 2 pages of toe if adding a contrast fabric it.
Cut and tape together 4 parts of sock template. Choose template for cuff.
Tab hangers: Cut two @ 2"x 8", fold each long edge in 1/2", press. Fold again in the center, press. Sew close to each folded edge. Fold in half lengthwise. Zigzag stitch both ends together from the tails up 1". Set aside.

Piping: Cut one @ 2"x 46". Fold fabric over cording, matching long, raw edges. Sew close to cording using a zipper foot.

Pompoms: Hanger fabric, cut one 2"x 20", fold and sew same as tab hanger. Single knot both ends. Cut two 3" circles of fur. Running stitch around outer edge of circle. Place knot of hanger inside circle. Slightly pull stitching on fur to start to close circle. Place a small amount of Poly-Fil inside fur around hanger knot. Pull stitching tight to form pompom. Finish stitching through pompom to secure to hanger. Repeat. Fold hanger so one pompom is higher than the other. Close to fold on hanger, zigzag stitch to hold the fold, leaving a small loop at the top. Set aside.

Stocking: Cut 2 reverse. Use the vertical and horizontal lines on the template to line up any patterns in the fabric. The intersection of the lines is the center for fabric pattern.

Contrast color toe place RST straight edge of toe 1/2" past line on sock stitching line, toward toe. Flip toe panel RS up. Press. Baste, matching raw edges of toe and sock. Topstitch close to the seam on the straight edge if desired. Repeat.

Piping, pin to RS of front panel of stocking. Start and stop piping 1" down from the top edge of the stocking. Cut the raw edges of piping toward the cording to splay the fabric around curves. Line up the raw edges of piping with the raw edges of the stocking. Sew using a zipper foot. Sew on top of original piping stitching.

Place the two stockings RST. Sew 1/2" SA from the top edge on the toe side down to the circle. Trim to 1/4" and zigzag stitch to prevent fraying. Set aside.

Cuff: Bottom edge SA 1". All other edges SA 1/2". Fold up bottom edge and sew close to the raw edge. Apply trim. Use tape to lay out line to follow for trim if marking pen is difficult to see on fabric. Cuffs RST sew right seam 1/2_x0003_" SA.

Random print fabric may be one continuous piece, front to back. See template.
Directional print fabric: 2 pieces. Line up pattern with lower edge and center line of cuff template.

Fur: 2 pieces. Use scissors to cut from back of fur, keep blades close to backing. Layer a thin strip of tissue paper over the lower edge fold prior to sewing. Use a zigzag stitch. Remove tissue paper.

If trim is best kept in one piece and is being applied to 2 piece cuff pattern, sew cuff pieces RST first, press open seam, then apply trim.

Mark on inside of back sock for hanger. On heel side of sock, mark 1" and 2" down from top edge, 1" in from left side. Place the hanger cut ends flush with the 2" mark. Sew a wide zigzag stitch from the 2" mark up to the 1" mark to secure the hanger. Backstitch.

Lay cuff RS up. Lay sock on top RS up. Match top corners and center seams. Sew 1/2" SA. Trim to 1/4" and zigzag stitch to finish edges.

Place sock RST and sew 1/2" SA. If piping was added, sew from stitching side and follow previous stitching. Turn sock RS out.

Place cuff side RST and sew 1/2" SA. Line up corners and trim seams. Press sock.

Pompoms: place folded section of hanger close to the top edge of the front of the sock on the heel side. Hand stitch through the loop at the top of the hanger to secure to the sock.

Turn cuff over sock.
For thick cuffs hand tack the bottom side seams of cuff to the sock, if desired.

JOANN HACKS:

Stockings: Some cuff trim may be layered to increase the fullness. If layering trims directly on top of one another, this may reduce the width of the cuff. To increase the width of the cuff, keep the top edge the same size and widen the taper to the bottom edge.
