I know this will sound kinda weird but here is what I did. I went to the dollar store after Christmas and found a stocking, the size and shape I liked. Bought it (CHEAP), took it home, layed it on a sheet of tissue paper, traced around it (adding 1/2" seam allowance), and VOILA! stocking pattern. just remember to cut one with the toe to the right, turn the pattern over and cut one to the left. Don't forget to do the same for the lining. I made a bunch of them this way a couple of years ago.
