If that's not an understatement I don't know what is ;)
Well I come bearing gifts (at least for my fellow knitters out there).
Today I would like to share a knitting pattern I designed for my son for Christmas. Ever since he was about 3 or 4 years old he has had a deep love of Dragons. And that's saying it mildly. He just loves them, thinks they are super cool, draws them, writes about them, reads about them, you name it. So when I found a pattern out there that was similar to the look of real dragon scales I just had to figure out a way to make it into a hanging Christmas stocking. Out came the old notebook and pencil, and soon I found myself staying up into the wee hours of the night converting a dishcloth pattern that I had found into a Christmas stocking! It really wasn't as hard as I had thought (thankfully) and I am really happy with the results, what makes me even happier is how much my son loved it when I showed it to him.
Inspired by my sons love of dragons this piece is knit to look like actual dragon scales using basic sock construction and techniques.
This is a fun easy Christmas stocking knit in the round using the magic loop method. It’s engaging enough to keep you interested yet easy enough to memorize and work through quickly. I used less than one skein each of the yarn listed below with plenty to spare. Change the colors out and experiment with different combinations or pick your little dragon lovers favorite colors, get creative.
Im going to be posting the pattern in several different parts, this is part one.
