This pattern is not just for Christmas. If you are new to sock knitting, or using double pointed needles then this pattern is the perfect introduction to both. 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!

These stockings are fun to knit and make for a quick project - you can fill them up with treats for a Christmas gift or make a few and hang them around the home.The tutorial is demonstrated using 4 double pointed needles, but you can adjust to knit with the magic loop method if you prefer. 

The video can be accessed below or through the Under the Olive Tree Knits YouTube channel.
