WRITTEN PATTERN OF MINI CHRISTMAS STOCKING

I use Lion Brand Vanna’s Glamour yarn because it’s sparkly and cute. You will need two contrast color skeins. Crochet hook is size 3.75 mm. You will also need a stitch marker because the stocking is made in amigurumi style.

In case you want to use a different yarn, check out this great source for yarn substitution.

Abbreviations:
R = round
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch

Pattern notes:
Instert stitch marker into the last sc of the round and then move it into the last sc of the next round as you finish the rounds.

R1 – with color A make a magic ring and sc 6 into the ring, insert stitch marker into the last sc just made.
R2 – sc 2 in each sc, total of 12 sc.
R3 – sc 2 in the first sc and sc 1 in the next sc – repeat all around, total of 18 sc.
R4 – sc 2 in the first sc and sc 1 in each next 2 sc, repeat all around, total of 24 sc.

Heel – work in rows not rounds, join color B in the next sc where you finished with color A, and sc 1 in each next 16 sc, turn.

Fold the heel in half, turn it inside out and crochet or stitch the upper edge together, fasten off.

R18-28 repeat R17, sl st in beginning sc and fasten off.
R29-32 join color B in the back of the stocking (where the hanging loop will be) and sc 1 in each sc, make 4 rounds.
Hanging loop – ch 16 (or more to make a longer loop) and sl st in the next sc on last round, turn and sc in each ch, sl st in edge sc, fasten off.
