Mini Christmas Stocking Decorations ~ for school craft fair


Christmas IS coming.......

And didn't you say - next year I WILL be more organized?
 
Here are some cute little Mini Christmas Stockings to get you in the mood!
  
collection of striped mini Christmas stockings
  
 
 Mini Christmas Stockings
 
Using DK yarn & 4mm needles, cast on 20sts
Knit 2 rows
Beginning with a knit row, work in stocking stitch (one row knit, one row purl) for 16 rows
 
Shape heel as follows -
Row 1:  K12, turn
Row 2:  P4, turn
Row 3:  K6, turn
Row 4:  P8, turn
Row 5:  K10, turn
Row 6:  P12, turn

Beginning with a purl row, work in stocking stitch (one row knit, one row purl) for 8 rows
 
Shape toe as follows -
P 2tog all across row  (10sts)
K 2tog all across row  (5sts)
Break off yarn.
Thread the yarn on to a needle and thread it through the remaining sts.
Pull tightly and fasten off.
Sew up side seam.
 
Make a twisted cord, or crochet chain, or add a ribbon for hanging.
 
These cute little mini stockings look great in stripes - and any combination of colours look great.
 
I  have been making these for a school craft fair. I will put some sweets in each.
50 made ~ and I'm not finished yet!
 
 

 
Have fun!

    What timing. I just started to try my hand at knitting after learning the Knit and pearl stitch.
    I've gotten as far as K2tog. After I break the yarn off and pull it through the stitches on my hook, do I
    sew up the side seam going into both V's on each side?

    Thanks so much ---wow my first project in knitting. I may be hooked :)

      If your first ever knitting project is a stocking then you have done amazingly well!
      And yes - sew up the side seam catching the V on each side, making sure any stripes match up.
      I hope you had fun - and let me warn you - making these is ADDICTIVE! Best wishes. M

    Thank you for this simple and easy way to knit Tiny Stockings.
    My Christmas tree and some hospitals will be getting donations of these stockings for the newborns First Christmas.
    Now I wished that Adult Socks could be made this way as well. Any hints?

    I found you last year and did lots of these for the school/church Christmas Fair. I was upset when I lost the pattern. Thank goodness I have found you again. I am starting to knit loads more this year. Well done and thanks!
