Make a pattern for your stocking by drawing a sturdy boot on a piece of paper. The boot should be 10 inches high and 6 inches wide at the ankle. The foot should be 12 inches long and 4 inches high at the toe, increasing to about 6 inches at the ankle. Draw the top straight.

Step 4
Cut out the pattern on the outer line.

Fold your fabric in half to make two layers.
