This little pattern makes stockings almost 6 inches tall. They are a perfect size for the Warmth for Warriors charity. They are also a handy size for inserting gift cards at Christmas with a few treats, like mini candy canes, for added fun.

Description:
This stocking is worked in the round either with circular or dpn needles. You can knit the stocking all one color or make color changes, such as changing to white, for the cuff, heel and toe. You can choose solid colors or ombres: whatever suits your fancy. The heel on this stocking is formed by knitting wrapped stitches. If working wrapped stitches is something new, information on how to execute them is included within the instructions.

What You Need To Get Started:
Yarn: Regular yarn, like Red Heart Super Saver, Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn!, or Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. For this pattern, the instructions will include two colors: white (W) and a main color (MC).
Needle size: U.S. 8 (5.0 mm)
Other items needed: scissors, tapestry needle, size F (3.75 mm) or G (4 mm) crochet hook for the hanging loop.

The total weight of a finished stocking is under half of an ounce. Because the stockings are small and require very little yarn, it is an ideal project to use up leftover yarn.
