Little Festive Socks
I wanted to create this sock pattern so that they could be filled with lavender and hung in my stash or placed in my WIP bags. Christmas then approached and I felt the need to make some festive coloured ones and then decided that they also needed some colour work too!
There are two sizes available and for each size they are designed as cuff down socks knitted using double pointed needles (DPNs). These are great for using up stash sock yarn and you can mix and match as many colours as you like. If you don’t want to do the colour work, just do the number of rounds suggested in the colour of your choice and don’t move up a needle size.
Notes: Both sizes are knitted cuff down using DPNs.
The pattern is best for those that have some knowledge of sock knitting construction.
Yarn: I used Lang Yarns Jawoll (75% wool and 25% nylon and 50g/210m) in three colours:
Cream - shade 94
Green - shade 198
Red - shade 61
Yarn substituting: You could use any 4 ply yarn. This is great for using up scraps and destashing.
Materials: 2.5mm DPNs, 10g of yarn for the midi sock and 8g for the mini, tapestry needle for sewing in ends. Colour work can pull your knitting in and so you may want to move up to 3mm DPNs for the colour work rounds.
I also knitted an i-cord to hang the stockings from but this requires more yarn.
Gauge/Tension: 7 stitches and 9 rows over 2cm.
Size: The midi sock is 8.5cm from the cuff down to the back of the heel and 9.5cm from the back of the heel to the toe. The mini sock is 7cm cuff down to back of heel and 7cm back of heel to toe.
Time to make: This is really quick to crochet and only takes about an hour or so to make each one.
