About this pattern

A Christmas stocking in turf green with its toe pointing left. It has a plain white cuff with a small red hanging loop at the top right, a red toe and a red heel, and four white lines across the leg and foot, like the yard lines of a football field. A brown football with white laces and a white stripe near each end lies on the leg under the cuff. No team name, number or lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 52 stitches and uses five thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,476 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
