In December of 2016, I designed my first hat pattern, the Chim Chim-in-ney Hat and through the years I have watched as knitters have made them for their entire families for Christmas cards and family holiday pictures. Now years later, I have fallen down rabbit hole and designed these socks as a collaboration with Jeanette and George of Sun Valley Fibers. I decided to write them as DK weight for a perfect month of December house sock but would also include fingering weight socks as well.

Named for their red and white appearance of bricks these socks are also a nod to Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyke, probably the most famous chimney sweep of all time.

Note: Pattern is written for DPNs but feel free to use Magic Loop or 2-circular needles.

NOTIONS: Locking ring or removable stitch marker, tapestry needle, small amount of green wool for making I-cord trim and small amounts of various colors to make Christmas lights for garland trim.

SAMPLE: Adult small sample socks were knit in Sun Valley Fibers Fingering in colorway Checkmate and Antler colorways; and weighed 74 grams and using 296 yds/271 m. (not including garland and lights)

This pattern was tech edited and test knit.

Tech editing and graphic design by Jean Clement. Test knitters were Cheryl Bieber, Edina Cole, Erin Davis, Nicole Fichthorn, Amy Mickelson, Victoria Pileski, Tiffany Scharff and Helen Woodcock.
