Christmas in a Hurry ~ 15-minute Stockings

I have made hundreds of little stockings for fundraising over the past 10 years.

I wish I had thought of this sooner! These cute little stockings are made using 2 strands of DK yarn knitted together. Use 5mm or 6mm needles

So simple - and so quick to knit!

Great for fundraising projects, and for decorations or gifts.

Using two strands of DK yarn knitted together & 5mm or 6mm needles ~

Cast on 12sts (leaving a 6” 'tail' to use later for the hanging cord)

Knit 2 rows

Beginning with a knit row, work in stocking stitch (one row knit, one row purl) for 12 rows

Shape the heel as follows -

Row 1: K8, turn

Row 2: P4, turn

Row 3: K6, turn

Break off the yarn, leaving a 'tail' to sew up side seam.

Thread the yarn on to a needle and thread it through the remaining stitches.

Pull tightly and fasten off.

Sew the side seam.

For the hanging cord, simply tie a knot on the 2 strands of the cast on 'tail'.

Decorate as desired – with a ribbon bow, button or other embellishment.
