MADE WITH HOMBYS
Fireside Cheer Stocking by @rebekahs_snugglers
Pink stripes, a fluffy white cuff, and a twisted two-color hanging loop give this handmade Christmas stocking its cheerful character. Maker @rebekahs_snugglers created it while testing the Fireside Cheer Christmas stocking pattern by @forevercozyknits.
The design pairs an old-fashioned sock silhouette with oversized chenille texture. Contrasting white heel and toe details echo the soft folded cuff, while the pink-and-rose body brings a bright twist to a traditional holiday decoration.
A Nostalgic Holiday Make
In her original post, Rebekah shared her excitement about testing Fireside Cheer. She recalled making the designer’s earlier stocking pattern the previous year and loved the childhood-inspired sock look of this new design.
She praised the instructions and said she was looking forward to trying more sizes. Her caption also confirms that she used HOMBYS yarn and still had yarn left for additional projects.

GET THE COLOR STORY
Start with Pink & Rose Red, Then Add White
Our Pink & Rose Red mixed 8-pack contains 4 skeins of each shade, a coordinated shopping option for the stocking body. Add Pure White for a bright cuff and contrasting details. The caption confirms HOMBYS yarn but does not identify the exact shades or pack used for this stocking, so these are suggested product matches.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
Rebekah reports that she still had yarn remaining after this project, but does not state her starting quantities, the stocking’s size, or the yardage used. That does not establish how many stockings a new pack will make. Use the Fireside Cheer pattern’s requirements for your chosen size and tension; the packs linked here are purchase options rather than a confirmed complete kit.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 1 stocking, each approx. 16 in (41 cm) high. Scope: one stocking.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 3 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 0.5–0.8 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Pink+4 Rose Red | 2 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Pure White | 1 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: two flat faces per stocking; 6 in leg width and 10 in foot length. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: 4 Pink+4 Rose Red 80%, Pure White 20%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
