Free Knitting Pattern: Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks

If you’re looking for a sock pattern to get your fall started on the right foot (sorry), check out this free pattern from Sandra Singh.

The Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks by Angela McNamara are mostly stockinette but feature a two-color design that goes into the ribbing and tow, and a two-color triangle design on the heel. Thus the name, I guess.

This is a great relatively easy pattern to work if you’ve never done two-color knitting on a sock. And once you start, you’re sure to want to find more ways to incorporate different colors in your socks.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?

I just found you today. Thanks for the pretty Green and Yellow Socks, I think I may be actually ready to try that. I’ve not been knitting long, and those of my extended family live 2000 miles away, so I’ve no one to hold my hand. I have found a knit group, but it takes time to feel comfortable and say walk me through this! I saw I missed the Yarn Olympics…sigh… I’ll keep my eye open for the next fun event. Thanks and may your yarn never tangle. TA
