I created this crochet pattern to make a sweet little butterfly that works up fast and uses just a few scraps of yarn.

This miniature Christmas stocking is worked flat then sewn closed up the top of the foot when finished. This makes it great for anyone not wanting to work in the round. Also, due to so few stitches used it makes for a faster knit then working in the round.

The slouch effect in this sock pattern is created by combining alternating bands of stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette on the leg section.
