You don’t need to knit on DPNs or turn a heel to make 3 easy pancake stockings in the traditional Christmas shades of Comfort™

Magi A is an easy patchwork of crocheted granny squares with fold back cuffs and a tassle for trim.

Magi B is knit in simple seed stitch and then embellished with cross stitch embroidery within the confines of the seed stitches. Finally the pieces are crocheted together and a twisted drawstring is drawn through the lattice top.

Magi C is knit in an easy aran pattern. The front and back are knit and then crocheted together and the opening is adorned with a generous crown of pompons.
