Yarn for a mini crochet stocking
I was very kindly gifted by Wecrochet some Brava Worsted weight yarn, which is my new favourite yarn, and which I used for the larger stocking
I’ve made these little stockings in 2 of the most common weights of yarn for my USA readers, and my UK readers, as we have different “common” yarn.
USA Friends, I’ve used Crochet.com “Brava” in worsted weight
UK Friends, I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK
>>> Find Stylecraft Special DK
But, being different weights, they are different sizes and make different sized stockings.
Both yarns are 100% acrylic, and are nice cost effective purchase. You’ll need 2 colours for each stocking.

How big is a mini crochet stocking?
This will depend on what yarn you use!
The smaller of the stockings using the DK yarn measures 13.5cm x 6cm (5 ¼ inches x 2 1/4 inches).
The worsted weight stocking measures 17 x 8 cm (6 1/2 x 3 inches).
Both will fit different items, the worsted weight will easily fit a chocolate/ candy bar. The DK weight will fit cutlery easily.
How long does it take to make a Mini Crochet Stocking?
These are a really quick make! I’d expect you to have these made in under an hour with the ends sewn in too!
