Mini Christmas Stocking by Cream Of The Crop Crochet

July 13, 2018 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

Do you celebrate Christmas in July? I hope so, because today I have a mini Christmas stocking for you to make ahead for when Christmas really comes in December. This stocking measures only 6″ tall, making it great for candy canes, pencils, small dolls, cars and trucks, and other small gifts for your children. Or, use it to hide your gifts of jewelry for the adults in your life.

The stocking is just the right size for hanging over the chimney or 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.

It’s quick and easy to make for an experienced crocheter, so you can make enough for your entire family and circle of friends. And best of all, it can be re-used year after year by the lucky recipients.

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.

Mini Christmas Stocking

It looks like this stocking is worked in two pieces that are sewn together to form the bottom of the stocking. Then with a thick fuzzy yarn, you crochet around the top of the stocking for a festive finish. I can picture this top part done in a fancy eyelash holiday-colored yarn.
