These socks, crocheted using the classic granny stitch in festive Christmas colors, can be made in any size from 35 to 45. The best part is that it’s worked as one continuous piece, with no need to cut the yarn—except when you start the second sock. This quick and fun project takes only an evening to finish a pair. What could be more enjoyable than that? I’m publishing the pattern early, not only because there’s a great discount on Sock Christmas yarn at Hobbii.com, but also because you have enough time to make gifts for the whole family.
