Pattern for “Starry Night” Christmas stockings in 3 variations. You should know how to knit in the round and with 2 colors. The pattern includes instructions and hints on how to knit the socks as well as 3 color charts.

What you need:

  • scissors
  • tapestry needle
  • crochet hook size 4mm
  • set of dpns matching your gauge ( 3.5-4mm/US 4-6 for the plain parts, 5-6mm /US 8-10 for two-colored sections) For each sock:
  • 50g of the main color
  • about 10g of each contrast color

Gauge is not crucial here, children rather get more excited to have bigger Christmas stockings than smaller ones. You can use every sport/DK weight yarn of your choice or thicker. A thinner yarn would probably cause Santa trouble stuffing all the gifts into the stockings.

Finished measurements: 16x5.3inch / 41cmx13,5cm
