Mini Crochet Stocking Pattern
This mini crochet stocking is perfect for decorating, gifting and filling with small treats.
It’s Day 10 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas!
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to add a mini crochet stocking to the collection.
This little stocking works up quickly and is a simple pattern that’s easily customisable by using different colours, stripes or embellishments.
About the Pattern
This mini crochet stocking pattern is worked from the toe upwards starting with a magic ring.
The toe is worked in joined rounds and the body of the stocking is worked in a continuous spiral which minimises any visible seam.
The heel is worked in a contrasting colour without cutting the main colour so we can easily pick it back up again.
