Christmas Stocking Perler Bead Pattern

A red Christmas stocking with a wide white cuff, two white stripes across the leg, dark green heel and toe patches and a little hanging loop above the cuff. The full-size stocking is 21 beads wide and 29 tall, so it fits on one large square board. A smaller 15x21 version is included below for ornaments and gift tags. A dark cranberry outline keeps the shape crisp, and with only four colours it is an easy pattern for beginners.

Not yet test-fused. This is an original pattern designed on screen; it has not been ironed and photographed yet. Perler is the palette the pattern was drawn in. Hama and Artkal codes are automatic nearest-colour matches (CIEDE2000), not official conversions.

Tips for this pattern

The hanging loop above the cuff is a small ring of cranberry beads around one empty peg. Keep that peg free so you can thread ribbon through after ironing.
Write a name on the white cuff with a permanent marker, or spell initials in red beads instead of the plain white.
The heel patch sits on the back of the foot and the toe on the front. If you flip the stocking to face the other way, move both patches with it.
Make the small version in several colour combinations and string them together as a mini advent garland.
