Elf Christmas Stocking Advent Garland, Cutlery Holder & Cosy
€5

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!

The pattern can be worked in 2 weights of yarn. Use double knit version for cutlery holders for your festive place settings.
Switch to 4 ply/fingering for mini stockings perfectly sized 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.
Size it up with the aran yarn for a new take on festive gift ‘bags’.

The pattern contains instructions to knit these Elf stockings either flat or in the round depending on your preference.

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.

When knit flat they will be seamed down the centre back and under the foot. When knit in the round the sole of the foot can be sewn up or stocking stitch grafted closed as preferred. The pattern includes full instructions for stocking stitch grafting the foot closed.
