Here is another classic little crochet stocking that has been around for decades. If you are a beginner, this pattern is definitely for you!!! You can make it so quick, and you will have instant gratification when you finish.
These Mini Stockings are so quick and easy to make you will have a great time making several for gifts to give family and friends. Think of all the scrap yarn you can use up too – remember – reuse and recycle.
If you use a small size 10 crochet cotton thread with the same pattern the stocking will be small enough for earrings!!!

Question on the Mini Christmas Stocking. On row6 it says to leave remaining 4 sc unworked. When starting to stitch the pattern together, there is only i side of the foot area.
it doesn’t make a whole mini stocking in the foot area. Hope you understand. Please help. Thank you.
Hi Sharon,
The instructions for Row 6 tell you to slip stitch in the first four
stitches and then at the end of the row to leave the last 4 stitches
unworked. Row 7 then instructs you to single crochet in each single
crochet, (not in the slip stitches). I think you may have worked single
crochets into the slip stitches from Row 6. Those should remain unworked
resulting in a piece that has a “foot” sticking out the bottom in both
directions. Then, you fold the piece in half and stitch up all of the
edges except the top to get the stocking.
Please let me know if this doesn’t makes sense. I’ll be happy to try to
explain it differently.
