Add all three Christmas Movie Sock Set patterns to your cart for a discount!

This pattern was designed as part of a set of Christmas Movie Socks that includes three unique sock patterns inspired by knitwear seen in our favourite Christmas movies; textured socks based on Kevin McCallister’s cream guernsey pullover in Home Alone, fair-isle socks with the sweet heart colourwork on Ellen Griswold’s sweater in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and festive reindeer socks inspired by the colourwork sweater Scott Calvin (a.k.a. Santa Claus) is wearing in The Santa Clause 3.
