Are you ready for Father Christmas to visit? If you're still looking for stocking inspiration, this cable knit pattern might be just what you need.

It's a fab project to introduce you to cable knitting if you've never tried before and also great if you're a more skilled knitter. With chunky needles and a heavy weight yarn, you'll see your stocking grow in no time at all!

Please note: We may not have online availability for the selected yarn but please do check the stock of your nearest store.

Step 14

Pom poms – Make two pompoms using the pompom maker.

Step 15

Hanging loop– Cast on four stitches in cream. Knit in stocking stitch until knitting reaches your preferred length. Put two stitches on spare needle or holder. Continue in stocking st to create a 'ribbon' to hold pompoms; I would suggest about 10 to 15 centimetres. Cast off. Repeat on remaining stitches to match. Cast off. Attach the pompoms to the ends. Sew wide end to top of rib, loop the band to create hanging loop and secure to the rib.
