Crochet Mini Stockings Christmas Ornament

October 19, 2017 by Ashleigh

Stockings are always cute – but do you know what’s cuter than a stocking?

A MINI STOCKING!

I love stockings hung up on the mantle or banister, and they are always one of my favorite parts of Christmas morning – so why not add one to our tree too?

Stockings bring me back to a favorite Christmas memory…

When I was a little girl, my parents and I went to a store and we each had $20 to stuff each others’ stockings. We had to get something for each person in our family and contribute to the stocking stuffing.

(So that Santa didn’t have to carry so many heavy gifts, you know)

It was so much fun to run around the store and look for something small but meaningful for each person in my family (there were six of us, so $20 was quite a challenge!)

I remember getting hot sauce for my dad, a tiny jar of honey for my mom, and different kinds of cookies for my sisters.

And I was all the more excited on Christmas morning to see my family enjoying their stockings!

I made two versions because this little ornament was so darn cute I couldn’t help myself!

I’m partial to the striped version, but both are definitely adorable!

THE TRADITION: Set a stocking budget and stick to it! Whether you shop with kids for the whole family, or shop for a friend (or just your kitty!) – set a small budget and think outside the box about what that person may like.

This is a really fun tradition with kids, I know I loved it and still remember it decades later. It’s the simple things, people!
