A really easy pattern for mini Christmas stocking decorations for your tree. Alternatively these could be strung together and used as a cool alternative to an advent calendar.

These are knitted on DPNs and are a really quick knit. The pattern is shown using two shades, Snow and Scarlet but you could adapt the pattern to one solid colour or add in more stripes of a contrasting colour. You can substitute the yarn and needles (e.g. a DK weight on 4mm needles) to get a bigger socking.

This pattern is written, uses 3.25mm needles (US size 3) and a stitch marker (I made 4 stockings using 1 50g ball of MillaMia’s snow and 1 ball of MillaMia’s scarlet).

October 2014: I’ve been told some people have had problems with the link - I’ve re-done it and I think it works.

November 2021: Google drive is such a pain! I have moved the file to a Wordpress blog and you can download the pattern for free from that page. Apologies if you have been trying to download this from google and couldn’t - I cannot understand why google wouldn’t work. Link to the wordpress page.
