If you have been a follower of Whistle and Ivy for a few years, you may be thinking “didn’t you already design a plaid stocking?”.
I would answer, yes, yes I did. But I ended up having a few qualms with the finished design fand decided to finally remake it in a style I liked better.
I SEE YOU, BUSY MAKER

So I fixed all the issued I had with the first one and have a new pattern to share with you today!
Additionally, this design is more of a skinny style, and I replaced the faux fur fabric with faux fur yarn, (which didn’t exist at the time!) and it’s so much easier to work with.

I also fully intended on creating a few variations with plaid graphs and release it as a bundle, but time was my enemy this month. So I’m hoping to add some variations at some point in the future.
