Frabjous Stocking Pattern - Download

The Garment

“O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

 Frabjous means “wonderful, elegant, superb, or delicious.” Used by Lewis Carroll in the poem 'The Jabberwocky' in Through the Looking Glass, we wanted these stockings to have something of the fantastical about them. We hope you feel frabjous when wearing them!
