Chridtmas Tree Socks Junior is a knitting pattern for festive colorwork Christmas socks for children.
The socks are knitted from the toe up with hearts and pine trees in stranded colorwork.
The pattern includes EU shoe sizes from 24-35, while larger sizes are covered by the Christmas Tree Socks knitting pattern.
Sizes:
EU Shoe Sizes: 24-25 (26-27) 28-29 (30-31) 32-33 (34-35)
Approximate sock length: 16 cm (17 cm) 18.5 cm (20.5 cm) 21.5 (23 cm)
Approximate age: 2-3 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7 ) 8-9 (8-10) years
Gauge: 32 x 34 stitches over 10 x 10 cm
Please note that the colorwork will make the fabric pull together more than the suggested gauge for the yarn.
Difficulty Level:
In terms of colorwork, this pattern is of medium difficulty:
In some parts of the chart you will have several stitches after one another in the same colour, which creates floats on the wrong side. These should be locked in by twisting the two yarns around one another, as this is a children’s sock pattern where tiny toes could otherwise get caught in the floats. However, the floats are mainly five or seven stitches long, so this is an easier pattern than for instance Gingerbread Socks Junior.
Suggested Needle Sizes: 2.5 mm double-pointed needles.
Yarn Suggestions:
Filcolana Arwetta (210 meters per 50 grams) or Sandnes Sunday (235 meters per 50 grams)
