“Little Christmas tree, you’re worth your weight in precious gold, you see, my little Christmas tree” the Christmas song goes, and indeed, few things will give such an instant Christmas feeling as a sparkling Christmas tree. The plaid parts of this pattern is an easy repetition, while the tree parts are a bit more challenging. Have yourself a merry little knitting!

One size. Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 24cm/9.4”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles or by adding or removing some rows.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

Approximate weight needed (if sticking to gauge):
MC: 60 g
CC 1: 30 g
CC 2, 3 & 4: >5 g

Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles will work if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Pattern is available in English.

Techniques used: Stranded Colourwork, German Short Row Heel, Duplicate Stitching (optional), Kitchener Stitch.
