Overview
I don't actually know any real life Elves but in my imagination they have pointy toes and a penchant for cabled long socks, which makes these stockings just perfect. I hope they're perfect for you too!
This pattern contains instructions to knit these Elf stockings either flat or in the round depending on preference.
The double knit version is perfect as a cutlery holder, the 4 ply fingering size is great for tree decorations or Advent garlands and fit mini chocolate bars such as ‘Celebrations’ or ‘Heroes’ up to a finger of fudge or a Tronky, while the aran version make great gift ‘bags’.
The stockings are knit from the top down starting with the contrast rib and then moving onto the cabled leg and increasing for the gusset and foot.
They can be knit flat and seamed down the centre back and under the foot, or, if knit in the round the sole of the foot can be sewn up or Kitchener stitch grafted closed as preferred. The pattern includes full instructions for Kitchener stitching the foot closed.
