Mini Knitted Christmas Stockings This free tip sheet was produced by the Cheapskates Club – www.cheapskates.com.au These tiny Christmas stockings are just the right size to hold a packet of Lifesavers or Fruit Tingles and are perfect for children to add to Christmas cards as a little gift. Add a loop to the top of the stocking and it becomes a delightful tree ornament, especially if it contains a packet of lollies. You will need: Small quantities of 5 ply wool in main colour and white (I use Christmas red and green but you can use any colour) 1 pair 3mm (no. 11) knitting needles Instructions: Row 1: Cast on 30 stitches in main colour Knit 6 rows. Row 7: K14, K2 together, turn, slip 1, K4, K2 tog and turn. Row 8: Slip 1, K4, K2 together, turn. Repeat Row 8 until 17 stitches remain. K20 rows in garter stitch in main colour. Join in white wool and K6 rows. Cast off leaving a long thread to make a loop for hanging. Sew up sole and side seams and fill with rolls of lollies (Lifesavers, Fruit Tingles, Fruit Pastilles, mints etc) or other miniature gifts.
