Mini-Stocking & Candy Cane Ornament Pattern ~ discounted!



Hi, Knitters,
The new ornament pattern is up and available to purchase in my Ravelry pattern shop. Remember that you don't have to be a Ravelry member to purchase patterns through the shop. 


There is currently a discount code (in honor of the Itty-Bitty Knits group) available for $1.00 off good through December 25th, 2013! The code is: IBKLOVE


The stockings are a fun way to use up leftover bits of sock yarn. 

Here is some information you might like to know:
Measurement: From toe to cuff about 4-inches

Yarn: Between 4 and 5 grams of fingering weight or sock yarn
*Four of the samples used 4 grams, and one sample used 5 grams.

Needles: US size 1 set of four double-pointed needles
*The pattern is written for dpns but is easily adaptable for Magic Loop or for knitting in the round on 2 circular needles.

Gauge: 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch
*Gauge is not imperative for this project but varying the gauge will change the size and the amount of yarn needed.

I made a bunch of samples in my leftover sock yarns.
