What better way to accompany Dasher & Dancer than with Santa himself! Designed as a follow up to a beginning colorwork class, Santa’s Sleigh also 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 Christmas stocking!


Top down construction with an afterthought heel and wedge toe, Santa’s Sleigh stocking begins with ribbing then moves to a stranded stockinette body. All motifs are charted.
