This pattern is available for free.

Note: dk/sport weight yarn is suggested & the “Aran” Rico yarns I used knit as dk for me.
You can use any weight yarn though - just go down a needle size from usual recommended on ball band.

Quick and easy pattern to knit plain and striped mini christmas stockings, with either a purl or fluffy cuff.

No complex shaping needed - this simple pattern just uses casting on, knit and purl stitches & basic k2tog decreases.

There is also a knit in the round version if you prefer seamless stockings with no fiddly sewing up.

You only need a small amount of yarn so this is ideal for using up leftover scraps.

Also includes instructions for knitting or crocheting a hanging loop to hang your stockings on a Christmas tree or garland etc.
