Dress up that plain gift card with a quick and colorful stocking! Nifty Gifty adds a personal touch to an otherwise impersonal gift and even doubles as an ornament. Itching to knit a full-size stocking? Practice on a small scale—try all the full-size techniques without the full-size time commitment.



Beginning with Corrugated Rib, Nifty Gifty is worked top down in the round using basic sock construction, with an afterthought heel and a wedge toe. The motif is worked with stranded knitting and duplicate stitch. Tree colorwork design is charted.
