“It’s Time to Knit!” Leftover Sock Yarn Wall Clock Pattern

“It’s Time to Knit!” Leftover Sock Yarn Wall Clock Pattern

When I couldn’t find the perfect wall clock anywhere, I decided to knit my own.

Thank you to all of the Ravelers who requested this pattern - here you go!

Yes, this clock really works. It’s made using a clock movement from Michael’s craft store.

You need three colors of scrap sock yarn and some nail polish or paint to paint the clock hands. The numbers are duplicate-stitched on, and you don’t have to weave in ANY ends.
