Mini-Stocking & Candy Cane Ornaments
Here is some quick and satisfying holiday fun for you! My test knitter made both ornaments in one evening with time to spare!
Mini-Stocking Ornament:
Measurement: From toe to cuff about 4-inches
Yarn: Between 4 and 5 grams of fingering weight or sock yarn
Four of the samples used 4 grams, and one sample used 5 grams.
Needles: US size 1 set of four double-pointed needles
The pattern is written for dpns but is easily adaptable for Magic Loop or for knitting in the round on 2 circular needles.
Gauge: 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch
Gauge is not imperative for this project but varying the gauge will change the size and the amount of yarn needed.
Materials:
Stitch marker
Yarn needle
Ruler or tape measure
Note: In the photo the pipe cleaner is sticking out of the bottom of the candy cane slightly. In the pattern I give instructions on how to prevent this from happening.
Candy Cane Ornament:
Yarn: Tiny amounts of red and white worsted weight yarn
Needles: US size 7 double-pointed needles or a circular needle for Magic Loop
Materials:
Yarn needle
Ruler or tape measure
White pipe cleaner or chenille stem
4 options for working in the round on a small number of stitches:
- With three dpns to work in the round
- With 2 dpns to work in the round
- A long circular needle to work in Magic Loop.
- 2 dpns to work in I-cord
