Mini TAATTU Socks: Stocking Ornament Knitting Pattern

This mini stocking pattern is a great way to learn the two-at-a-time, toe up (TAATTU) method of sock construction on a smaller, more manageable scale so you can perfect your technique before diving into adult-sized socks! This is a great way to use up scraps of fingering weight yarn, make quick ornaments for your friends and family, or use a special advent calendar set to make a decorative garland.

 Pattern Notes

TAATTU stands for two-at-a-time, toe-up. This mini stocking pattern features TAATTU construction using magic loop, a modified Judy’s Magic Cast On for the toe, and a wrap & turn short row heel. This mini stocking is a great way to learn the method of TAATTU socks on a smaller scale than adult-sized socks.
