Needlepoint mini stocking patterns

Mini stockings, among them candy stripe, straight stripes, chevron, polka dots, hearts, gingham, tartan and little trees.

Each is charted as a small stocking with its toe pointing left, and each has a plain cuff, heel and toe; the little trees are in rows. All are four by six inches on 18 mesh and take three or four colors. Most are marked beginner; the tartan is marked intermediate.

Finishing a mini stocking takes time on top of the stitching, so start early if it is for Christmas. Full-size stockings, some in the same patterns, are on the Stockings page.
