Nik’laus is a cute, smaller version of the traditional Christmas stocking.

It´s knit holding two fingering weight yarns double and would be the perfect scrap busting project.

Try using a DK or worsted weight, or a fingering with a silk/mohair instead of two strands of fingering weight yarn.

Nik’laus is also perfect for single skeins of handspun, as long as they are knitting up at a worsted-ish gauge. You can always adjust your needle size if necessary.

Material needed:

• 1 skein of Hobbii Christmas Sock (420 meters / 100 g) OR at least 75 grams of fingering weight scraps OR 1 skein of DK to worsted weight yarn with around 200 to 250 meters per 100 grams
• 1 set of 4 mm (US 6) double pointed needles
• tapestry needle
• tape measure
