I took a break from sweater knitting. My double knit pattern for this mini Christmas stocking was a perfect little diversion.
As you can see this is a larger version of my original worked in DK weight yarn. Followed the pattern exactly the same, but was wanting to show how you can really use any size yarn. Just keep in mind if you want to give this a try to use a needle a couple a sizes smaller than the usual recommended size.
To understand a little more why that is, if you’re the curious type, I gave a bit of a Double Knit primer in my Double Knit Button Band Tutorial here.
These really go very quickly and seem like a neat trick to do. They are knit back and forth on two needles and inside out. But when you’re done, you turn it right-side out and viola! it’s a circular tube stocking.
