Today I have knitted up a little Santa boot or Christmas stocking as an ornament for our tree... It is such a quick and easy knit, I have not knitted it in the round but flat this time:)
Enjoy!
Materials:
I used handspun Merino
4 mm knitting needles
fleece
ribbon
wool needle
embroidery needle
thread
Pattern:
Cast on 24 stitches
Knit 6 rows in stocking stitch
Row 7: Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of the row.
Row 8: Purl.
Row 9: Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of the row.
Row 10: Purl.
Row 11: Cast off 4 stitches, knit to the end of the row.
Row 12: Cast off 4 stitches, purl to the end of the row.
Knit in stocking stitch for the next 8 rows.
Change to a white yarn, knit 1 white row.
Purl 1 white row.
Cast off
Yay, you are done!
Finishing off:
Sew up with right sides facing and then turn onto the right side. I added a little fleece inside the boot to give it some shape. Sew on your Christmas ribbon and hang on your tree:)
Wishing you all a wonderful day:)

ReplyDeleteI just love all of your tutorials Linda. I am making two of your litte Christmas jersey sweaters for Kristen's ornament party this Friday! :D I've got one done and the other on the needles!!
ReplyDeleteLove the santa hat and now santa stocking ornaments. Your blog is just eye candy and inspiring!
I'm so excited! A knitting pattern in language I'm pretty sure I can follow, and for something I would actually really like to make! I'm SO going to try this at the next available opportunity. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteyou share such delightful patterns, Linda! thank you!
ReplyDeleteLinda, You inspire me! I have been knitting little wreaths all week and just finished the stocking. It was so easy and cute. I never thought I could follow directs. The owner of our local knit shop is going to try to figure me out over Christmas break. She also thinks I might be knitting and purling backwards!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI knitted on size 2 needles for the first time ever this week when I knitted a Mosaic Ball. It took me the same amount of time as if I knitted a whole hat on size 8 needles. Argh! Beautiful but...time consuming. I wonder if I'm not cut out for knitting little objects.
I know, I know...I just need to get used to the needles.
As always, I love your projects and your great patterns.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday and Creative Friday!
Wpnderful. I am getting closer everyday to learning how to knit.....I really want to make this!
ReplyDeleteRachel made the sweaters. And I got to show her how to needlefelt on them. ME. Showing somebody. Of course, she did marvelously, and the sweaters were a raging success. We used one of them in our annual game - which I will post, but not till next week. And it was universally hailed as one of the most marvelous and wonderful ornaments of all. So once again, Rachel and I send you kisses of gratitude. Our brilliant and kind Linda.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable, just like all your other patterns!
