I love Christmas! I love all the colours and lights and smells and flavours! It’s one of my favourite times of the year. And at Christmas I like to go a bit over the top, and really embrace the holidays. It’s not more than a month anyway, why not have some fun with it? With that in mind I designed the Merry Xmas Socks to be a fun, playful and Christmas filled pair of socks to help you really get into the spirit of the holiday!

Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 23 cm/9”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles or by adding or removing some rows.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

Approximate yarn weight needed (if sticking to gauge):
MC: 25 g
CC1: 30 g
CC2: 30 g
CC3: 15g
DS: Short lengths of yarn

Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles work as well if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Pattern is available in English and Swedish.
Afterthought Heel, Stranded Colourwork, Kitchener Stitch, Duplicate Stich

The pattern has links to my accompanying videos on Youtube which explain some of the technical aspects of the work (in English with English or Swedish subtitles): How to work with magic loop, how to sew duplicate stitches, how to sew the kitchener stitch.
