This pattern is perfect for beginners as it only requires two basic stitches; knit and purl. If you haven't quite mastered the purl stitch this also works if you just use the knit stitch.
They make great gifts for family and friends or you could even fill them with sweets and hang them on the Christmas tree!
The instructions given are for a simple two colour version, although you can get creative and use any colours you like!!
Christmas Stocking Pattern
- Using 4mm needles cast on 36 stitches and work in stocking stitch (1 line plain, 1 line purl)

- Knit 18 rows (Knit last 4 rows in a different colour)
- Cast off.
Presentation Ideas
Fill them with sweets and hang them on the tree!
This has been created using only the knit stitch. |
Play around with the colours, to create a stripe effect add in various colours of wool for the last few rows.
Happy knitting and Merry Christmas :)
Until next time,
Sarah
