Nadal

Nadal is “Christmas” in the dialect from my region of Spain.This is a Christmas stocking to hang from your fireplace or the end of your bed and hope it’ll be filled with all sorts of knitty goodies!

The construction is practically the same as a standard sock but with a more rounded toe. It’s also shorter and fatter (so you can fit more presents in!) and it has a simple short row heel. It also has some Fair Isle motives that follow an easily-memorised sequence. An ideal project to practice sock and Fair Isle techniques.

MATERIALS

• 4.5mm (US7) circular needles, at least 80 cm (32”) long for the toe and 40cm (16”) long for the rest
  
• Removable marker
  
• Tapestry needle

YARN

Aran-weight yarn in two colours. Although the pattern suggests Aran-weight yarn, you could follow the same instructions with a different weight and you’ll just end up with a smaller or bigger stocking (see dimensions).

• Main colour (MC): 85g (130m/140yd). I used Drops Nepal, colour Red
  
• Contrasting colour (CC): 50g (75m/82yd). I used Drops Nepal, colour White

DIMENSIONS

After blocking, 34 cm / 13” long (from the heel to the cuff), 17 cm /  6.5” wide (leg).
