This is the perfect pattern for using up those mini skeins, left over bits of sock yarn, and promo skeins that you’ve accumulated through the year! And, if you are looking for a quick knit from-the-heart gift for teachers, bus drivers, co-workers, or holiday swaps (or even to decorate your own tree!), this is a super cute and unique option.

The pattern provides instructions for:

• a striped sock
• a solid sock
• a solid sock with contrasting heels, toes & cuffs

Worked toe-up, this mini stocking takes a very short time to knit, especially with the easy short-row heel.

Each sock uses approximately 5 g of fingering weight yarn. A larger size stocking into which you could insert a littel treat can be achieved by using a US 3 (3.25 mm) needle and sport weight yarn.
