Free Christmas Stocking Knitting Pattern
Posted on
I know, it's early November and I'm already talking about Christmas, but I wanted to drop by with an early present :)
As a knitter I know how busy our schedules can get this time of year and I wanted to gift you this free pattern before things start to get really hectic! These mini stockings are super quick to knit, and make excellent gifts or decorations to hang around the home.

These mini stocking are worked in aran weight yarn on 4mm double pointed needles which means they knit up nice and quick AND the whole pattern is supported by a full video tutorial!
Although the pattern is written and demonstrated using dpn's, you can adapt to knitting them using the magic loop method if you prefer.
If you have never knit a sock or used double pointed needles before then this is the perfect introductory project. The written pattern is fully supported with a step by step video tutorial to guide you through each stage of knitting the stocking, and the video times are annotated so you can skip to the part you want to watch straight away!
The pattern is available by clicking on this link or by visiting https://www.undertheolivetreeknits.com/free-patterns.html
