I’m knitting Sheldon the Turtle - LOVE HIM! My only issue is with the finishing. It seems like the attachment panel (I call it his “sweater”) seems too small for the size of his shell. I also have been learning everything as I go, and it’s all turned out extremely well…it’s just that I haven’t ever done an I-cord, and when I asked my knitting friends, they all said that I could probably just attach the two pieces together & then add the I-cord on after just to finish it. I tried this, and it didn’t work at all! I’m so sorry to bother you about something so silly, but I really need some help. If you’d like, I could e-mail you pics of what I’m talking about and maybe you can tell me if I just knitted the attachment panel too small or the shell too large, etc.
Thanks so much for your help!

Do you have any idea how to line a knit stocking so gifts don’t catch on the yarn? Maybe a stretch jersey fabric, but then how do I attach it? Thanks in advance!

My husband’s family have Bernat Christmas Stockings - my husband received his from his grandmother 57 years ago! Grandma Marge made them for all over her grandchildren (9 in my husband’s family alone) My mother-in-law has made them for all of her grandchildren (23) and 1 great-grandchild, plus all of us in-laws! I’ve made them for my grandchildren and children. The variations are: first band - white with red name; second band: red with three green Christmas trees; third band: green with two white candles on red candleholders; fourth band: white with green wreath. After that, the rest of the stocking (heel and toe) are exactly the same. After it’s all knit and blocked, but before sewn together, we “decorate” the tree with sequins and the wreath with “yule berries” and a red bow.

My husband’s stocking is the smallest of all the stockings - no matter who knit the others. The rest all seem to be about the same size, generally.

I am sooo tempted to use your pattern - just to change things up a bit, but I hate to mess with tradition!
