Knit Pattern: Christmas Stocking

HERD

£5

The pattern for this lovely Christmas stocking is now available from Herd Wool. Knitted using 3 x 50g balls of Herd Wool's soft 100% Bluefaced Leicester DK yarn from the top down and in the round with 4.5mm needles, the finished length of the stocking is about 45cm. The instructions are emailed to you and provide a colour chart for the two colour fair isle pattern. Casting on with an easy to knit picot edge and finishing with a barn toe, it's a great introduction to sock knitting which produces a beautifully elegant festive knit that can be brought out year after year.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HERDWEAR LTD, number 12707440. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
