Simply Art © Simply Basic © Christmas Stocking Knitting Pattern VI - "Red Reindeer"
Regular Size
This pattern is for a straight, single point needle, flat-knitted basic Christmas stocking that is easy to knit in worsted weight yarn. It is another one of my designs based on old-fashioned classic stockings, similar to what I myself had as a child. This design reflects traditional Nordic-style knitting in an easy-to-knit two-color design with a simple reindeer as the design motif.
The pattern is written for a finished stocking length of 19-1/2 inches from the top cuff to the toe tip, with a 12 inch circumference around the top cuff. It is easy to knit – the sample stocking took about 24 hours to knit. The sample stocking was knit with Lion Brand “Wool-Ease” worsted weight yarn in “Ranch Red” and Lion Brand “Fisherman Wool” in “natural”
Another heirloom-style stocking that will be cherished for generations. Please read the entire pattern through for best results.
Flat-knitted, in this pattern, means that the stocking is knitted in one long, flat piece, and then the seams are sewn together. The pattern is wonderful for those who are trying intarsia (two color) knitting for the first time, but advanced knitters will also appreciate the simplicity of this design. For a definition of intarsia knitting, please visit this link. My knitting charts are also available individually for integration into this pattern, recommended for the intermediate to advanced knitter, please see the individual charts at Simply Art (c) Simply Basic (c) Knit Charts.
