It’s the time of year when people start thinking about knitting Christmas stockings, and this is a great one to knit in a flash that you can easily make in different colors for each family member or to use up scraps from all the other projects you’ve knit this year.
The Snow Day Stocking from Purl Soho use two different colors of yarn held together throughout and is worked on size 17 US knitting needles, so you know it will work up fast.
This is actually a great project if you’ve never knit a sock before, or if you’ve never worked a toe-up sock before, because on the larger scale all the “tricky” bits go by really fast but you’re still learning the skills you would use on a foot-sized sock.
But even if you’re totally comfortable with sock making this is a great little pattern that looks like a real ragg sock, which is pretty darn charming.
You can grab the free pattern at Purl Soho.
