Bears Christmas Stockings
This is a pattern for two kinds of bears on Christmas stockings with a detailed, 10 page instruction of how to cast on, turn the heel and shape the toe. One stocking features a mean looking brown bear, the other one a cute bear with a bow tie. Kids might prefer this kind of stocking to the traditional Christmas ones. The colour combination gives these stockings a vintage look.
A basic understanding of fair isle/ stranded knitting and knitting on double point needles is an advantage. I would rate this pattern as intermediate to advanced. The pattern contains lots of photographs and the charts for both stockings.
The pattern also contains an alphabet chart and instructions how to add a name to the top of the stocking to make it a personalized Christmas stocking.
Material:
Double Knit yarn such as King Cole Pricewise DK
in colours oyster, wine, denim and chocolate
Set of double point needles (5)
Size Europe 4 / US 6
Tapestry needle
Size: 6.5” (16cm) wide, 20” (51cm) long
21 sts wide x 26 sts high over 4x4”
(10x10cm)
Other yarn can be used, size will vary.
You may sell items made from this pattern (they sell really well!), but please don’t sell the pattern itself.
This is a very satisfying project that looks amazing (I get many compliments), but it’s actually not too difficult and quick to knit once you get the hang of it. I’m around to answer questions if you’re stuck.
