Who doesn’t love the old schoolhouse feel of these furniture leg socks? A perfect gift for a teacher, classroom or home! Both cute and practical as they soften those screeching chair or table legs and eliminate scratches to your floor.

Use this pattern for other ideas too: as a little gift bag, fill with small gifts for a teacher, or as a small basket to hold pencils and other items. Try making a bigger one (continue the increasing rounds until you reach the diameter you want) for a tall basket. So cute stuffed, too! Or add a key chain or a closure for other uses.

Approximate Sizes:
Small: 3” to 3 1/2” around and 5” high
Medium: 4” to 5” around and 7” high
Large: 5” to 6” around and 7 1/2” high

Skill Level:
Easy

Materials Needed:
Small amounts of worsted weight acrylic yarn in pink, light grey, dark yellow, beige and dark grey. Other fibers can be used if desired. Worsted weight cotton is more durable, but has less stretch.
