Sockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Introducing the enchanting **Sockin’ Around the Christmas Tree** pattern, a delightful Christmas tree sock designed specifically to showcase the exquisite Christmasy Set by **Sweet Mountain Crafts**. This festive sock features intricate cabled Christmas trees on the front panel, beautifully complemented by peppermint-twist cables that wrap all the way around the sock. For added charm, the toe and planned afterthought heel utilize a coordinating mini skein, ensuring a cohesive and stylish look for your holiday wardrobe.

**Finished Size:** S (M, L) [7” (8”, 9” around), unstretched]; tailored to fit a variety of foot sizes for comfortable wear.

**Yarn Requirements:** To knit this pattern, you will need **Sweet Mountain Crafts Scree Sock**, a luxurious blend of 80% superwash Merino wool and 20% nylon, offering 389 yards per 100g. For our sample, we chose a vibrant colorway from the Christmasy Set, which includes a 20g mini skein in a coordinating color to bring your sock design to life. Additionally, you'll need approximately 10 inches of a high-contrast scrap fingering weight yarn (in a color that contrasts with your main yarn) for the afterthought heel placement, providing a striking detail that enhances the overall appearance of the sock.

**Needles:** You'll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 2 US (2.75 mm), or whichever size achieves your desired gauge.

**Gauge:** This pattern requires a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette, knit in the round, ensuring that your socks fit snugly and comfortably without compromising on style.
