In this video, Iβll show you why the traditional granny square doesnβt scale well β and the simple shape change that does keep the stocking looking classic as it gets bigger.
Iβll also share three small tweaks that make the form cleaner and help the toe sit just right.
Note: If your goal is a gift card size, I'd recommend approx. 5 rounds with the hook and yarn size used in the video.
