You know, Dasher and Dancer were the first reindeer mentioned in the familiar song and if this is your first foray into colorwork stockings you’re in the right place!

Designed for a beginning colorwork class, Dasher & Dancer allows you to tread slowly into the main colorwork section so you can find your rhythm. Look forward to resting rows amongst the colorwork (just one color worked) and soon you’ll be looking at your very own colorwork Christmas stocking!


Top down construction with an afterthought heel and wedge toe, Dasher & Dancer stocking begins with ribbing then moves to a stranded stockinette body. All motifs are charted.
