Musical Stocking

This is the stocking that I knit for my musical hubby early in our marriage.  It's the same pattern I used on these stockings.

The notes and treble clefs are made from crocheted chains that I sewed onto the stocking in the shapes that I wanted.

Here's a close up of the toe.

If you're a beginning knitter and want to try socks, I suggest that you start with a Christmas stocking for your first project.  You won't have to worry about the gauge (making it a specific size) and you won't have to worry about making a second one to match the first.
