Sugar And Spice Stocking & Mini Jumper

This is a fun novelty stocking designed in bright festive colours! It is worked from the top down in the round on double pointed needles and features a rib cuff, patterned leg and foot and an afterthought heel, which is worked at the end by picking up stitches from scrap yarn. The colour work uses the Fair Isle method (carrying colours not in use across the inside and weaving in or twisting floats). This design does require using 3 colours at the same time for some of the motifs. Techniques include casting on and working in the round, knit and purl stitches, Fair Isle colour work, increases and decreases, picking up stitches and grafting (Kitchener stitch). Finished circumference is 33cm/13in, finished length from top of cuff to tip of toe is 48.5cm/19in approx. Also included is a Mini Jumper pattern - ideal for any left overs!
