The pattern was designed by Cream Of The Crop Crochet for CrochetN’Crafts.

Today we have a mini Christmas stocking crochet pattern to make for the holiday season. This holiday stocking measures only 6″ tall, making it a quick pattern to whip up. Thus, it’s the perfect last-minute project to embark on, or get a head start and make one for everyone in the family.

Another bonus is that you don’t need much yarn to complete just one, so you could easily use up your yarn stash and make them in different holiday colors. Solid colors, variegated yarns and even cool stripes would all look lovely for this cute design.

These mini stockings are perfect for small gifts like candy canes, pencils, small dolls, cars and trucks, and other small gifts for your children. Or, use it to hide your gift cards or gifts of jewelry for the adults in your life.

The stocking is just the right size for hanging over the chimney on the big night as you await Santa. Or use it as fun decorations throughout the home, even as an ornament on the Christmas tree. It’s shown here plain, but if using it as an ornament, why not add some fun sparkles or ribbons to make it even more festive and fun for everyone.

Regardless of how you plan on using this stocking, it can be re-used year after year.

How It’s Made

This stocking is started at the bottom and worked in rows. Once all the rows are complete, the bottom of the stocking is sewn together. The cuff piece around the top of the stocking is then worked in rounds with a thick fuzzy yarn for a festive finish. I can picture this top part done in a fancy eyelash holiday-colored yarn.

Lastly, the hanging loop is worked with the same color as the main stocking piece. This not only brings it together, but it also makes it easy for hanging anywhere you like.
