If you are looking for a last minute, quick Christmas Stocking, you’ll love the simplicity of this Classic Mini Granny Stocking crochet pattern!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I am uploading this post on Christmas Eve, I time I know when many are striving to complete those last minute Christmas gifts and decorations!
This little Classic Mini Granny Stocking is a wonderful, traditional ornament for your tree, mantlepiece or as a gift topper. They are little, measuring about four inches tall which is the perfect size for adding some Christmas Chocolate, gift card or candy cane!
There are many of these little Classic Mini Granny Stocking crochet patterns around. And I wanted to share with you my own version!
The stocking is worked very quickly (in about 10 minutes!) and you can use some worsted weight/medium scrap yarns to complete it.
If you enjoy working crochet blankets, I invite you to check out my book: Barn Quilt Blankets! It is a collection of five blanket crochet patterns that feature a beautiful geometric designs. The book is now available in both paperback and ebook formats on Amazon! You can read about it here: BARN QUILT BLANKETS
To create the stocking you will work a simple granny pentagon shape, simply fold the stocking and then work a row of single crochet to hold it all together. From the row of single crochet stitches I continued directly into a simple foundation chain hanger.
They are a joy to make – you won’t be able to make just one!

Fasten off, weave in your ends.
Fold Granny Pentagon:
Take hold of one corner of the pentagon and fold it over so that it meets the opposite corner. This will create a bit of a “L” shape. The pointed end will be your stocking toe.
With colour A, join with a sl st at the pointed toe end of your stocking. Ch 1, working through both sides of the stocking, sc in each dc and in each ch-1 sp along the bottom of the foot , work 1 sc in the ch-2 sp at the heel, and continue working sc up the side to the top of the stocking ending with a final sc in the top ch-2 sp. Do not fasten off.
Hanger:
Ch 12, sl st back into the top of the sc at the top of the stocking.
Fasten off, weave in all ends.
NOTE: At this time, the toe of your stocking may still look a little pointed. Simple poke the point of the toe into the middle of your stocking to shape.
