Don’t just knit your own Holiday Stocking… design it, too, with Doodle Knits!

Learn colorwork knitting and make a one-of-a-kind Holiday Stocking with us! Valerie will lead students in making the Holiday Doodle Stocking by Jamie Lomax. Jamie’s pattern is made up of instructions for a simple stocking, as well as charts for 34 whimsical holiday motifs that knitters can use to create their own customizable design! No colorwork experience is necessary… if you’re comfortable knitting on circular or double-pointed needles and up for some color play, you can knit this stocking!

At the start of class, students will learn how to read colorwork charts and design your own pattern using the 34 Doodle motifs. Once you have your design and colors picked out, you’ll begin by knitting the cuff. Then, on to the colorwork! This pattern uses stranded, fair-isle style knitted colorwork. Beginners can stick with just one or two pattern motifs, while more adventurous knitters can add as much colorwork as they want! As you progress, you’ll learn how to add the heel and toe, keep an even tension, and secure floats.

Modular instructions include flexible size options for the upper ribbing, length, and width of the finished stocking. Knit with DK yarn and US size 4 needles, your stocking may very well be on your mantle before Christmas!
