Christmas Tree Ornament Knit Socks

I picked up a ball of King Cole Glitz wool a while ago and finally got around to knitting up a few tiny Christmas Stockings for the Christmas tree.

I plan on making one for everyone coming over for Christmas dinner and using them to hold a little treat for after dinner. Then everyone can take there's and put it on their tree as a decoration! 

I also wanted to share a quick tutorial on how I knit them up! I did see the Fish Lips Kiss Heel method because it's one I like to knit BT it can be substituted for any heel methodthat you prefer. Or you can purchase the heel tutorial here for about $1 on Ravelry. I also use dpns to knt these but again you can see your preferred method free knitting in the round.

• Knit 6 rows of 1x1 ribbing.
