More Holiday Goodies from Red Heart

November 14, 2013 by Sarah White 6 Comments

I’ve gotten way behind on Red Heart’s 12 Weeks of Christmas free patterns, so consider this your catch up if you’re not getting the emails yourself.

I love this Keepsake Stocking, worked mostly in a multicolored yarn with solid red at the cuff, heel and toe. There’s also the wee Fashion Sweater Ornament, which is a great scrap-knitting project you can make in any color and it will still be adorable on the tree.

And if you’re looking for a collection of knit and crochet patterns for Christmas rather than having to download them one at a time, Red Heart has also put together the free Have a Cozy Holiday ebook, which has 15 knit and crochet projects, many of which have been shared in this email series.

I’m finally starting to think about knitting holiday decor, are you? I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

The link to the Keepsake Stocking isn’t working. (You need to remove the craftgossip.com stuff from the URL.) Thanks for posting these, since I’m not on Red Heart’s email list.

I got as far as the right heel slipping the remaining stitches to the right needle. I’m confused by how I would Join B and work over the first 12 stitches. There were seven right heel stitches left (in Color B), and then I would have to work stitches that were on the stocking part.(Color A)I’m frustrated and want to finish this…Anyone help me?

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
