Finishing

Blocking is not necessary – the seams will hold the stocking in shape.
Using 2 strands of CC held together, whip stitch the triangle motifs into stocking shape, following the assembly diagram. Do not stitch together the center ch of the ch-3s at each corner or you will pull it out of shape.

Fill-Ins

Once your stocking is assembled, look at all the areas where the points of the triangles meet.
If you see 3, 4, or 5 adjacent points, no further action is required.
