QUICK & EASY Little Knitted Stockings for Christmas! 🎄 [Free Video Tutorial & Written Pattern!]

***You can purchase an INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF of this pattern on Ravelry HERE or Etsy HERE***

At this time of year I love to work on small, quick projects. Last year I showed you how to make Tiny Little Santa Hats, and this year I’m showing you how to knit these super cute teeny tiny stockings!

These little stockings comprise of just 22 rows of knitting, and are a great way to use up little scraps of yarn that you have leftover from bigger projects.

Not only are they great in traditional Christmas colours, you can see that they work really well in any colour combination – so you could customise them to match the colour scheme of the person you plan to gift them to!

Although they’re tiny, they still have a small amount of space in them to hide a little Christmas chocolate or sweet. You could even knit 24 of them and use them as an Advent Calendar!

finishing your Stocking

Use your yarn tails to sew the stocking together. I like to use Colour A to sew together the Colour A sections, and Colour B to sew together the cuff – this gives a seamless look.

Lastly, if you wish you can add a hanging loop using colour A.
