Free Crochet Pattern for a Mini Christmas Stocking. Quick and Easy to make and great fun to use for little gifts too.

Both US and UK crochet terms are provided - pattern is written separately for each.

These mini stockings are worked from the toe up, in rounds, with the heel worked in rows.

I’ve used a bright colour palette to create a cheerful set of mini stockings, mixing bold colours with traditional Christmas shades. They are ideal for using up small amounts of leftover yarn, therefore making them perfect for scrap yarn projects. If you have sparkle yarn or metallic thread in your stash, you can easily add it for a simple festive detail.

Yarn per stocking
4ply yarn (cotton yarn or sock yarn) in Main Colour and White, as follows:
Approximately 4g of Main Colour for each stocking.
Approximately 1-2g of White for heel.

Hook
A 3mm (US D/3) crochet hook.

You Will Also Need
Wool needle for weaving in ends.
Stitch marker.
Hanging ribbon if making a garland (thin 6-7mm wide ribbon is best).
Tiny wooden craft pegs if desired, to attach to a garland or gift.

Pattern Notes
Each stocking is worked in a spiral without joining each round, unless indicated otherwise.
Use a stitch marker to mark the start of the round then move it up as you work.
To maximise yarn, leave just enough yarn at the colour change to tie off ends and weave in.

Finished Size
Approximately 10cm (4in) long from top to toe, using 4ply yarn and 3mm (US D/3) hook.Approximately 10cm (4in) long from top to toe, using 4ply yarn and 3mm (US D/3) hook.
