The colorful yarn choices and intricate stitching make each stocking a small work of art that you'll be proud to display year after year. So grab your crochet hook and get ready to spread some festive cheer with these adorable Mini Granny Hexagon Stockings!

Materials:

• H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Small amounts of (about a half of an ounce total yarn) medium weight/#4 weight yarn (I used 4 colors of Friends Wool from Hobbii in light green, dark green, red, and white)
• Yarn/tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Measuring Tape
• Optional: bells, bows, pompoms, or whatever you like to embellish!

Sizing:

• Hexagon before seaming is about 5 inches across from its widest points.
• Finished stocking (including hanging loop) is about 5.5 inches tall

Pattern Notes:

• To make your stocking smaller, work less rounds of the hexagon pattern before seaming.
• To make your stocking larger, work more rounds of the hexagon pattern before seaming.
• Hanging loop is optional and you can make it smaller/larger by working more chains.
• This stocking is fun to embellish! Try adding bells like I did to the heel and toe, or for a less noisy option, a cute tiny pom pom too! You could also add a tiny bow to the top as well.

Mini Granny Hexagon Stocking Pattern:

The Granny Hexagon:

• Chain 4 and join into the furthest chain from the hook with a slip stitch to create a ring.
• Round 1 (shown in red): Chain 4 (counts as a dc), then work (a dc into center of ring, chain 1) 11 times. Join to close with a slip stitch.

Note: If you want to make the rounds in the same color, simply slip stitch over until you reach a ch 1 space and keep going. If you want to switch colors…cut yarn and join the new yarn at one of the ch 1 spaces and tie securely.

• Round 2: Chain 3 and work a dc in the same space. Chain 1, then work two double crochet in the next (chain 1) space. Keep doing this all the way around, working 2 dc in each space, then a chain 1. Join to close with a slip stitch.
• Round 3: Chain 3, then work 2 dc in the same space, then chain 1. In the next space, work three dc, then chain 1. Keep doing this all the way around the circle…3 dc, then a chain 1 in each space. Join with a slip stitch to close.
• Round 4 (circle becomes hexagon in this round): Chain 4, and in the first space work 2 dc, chain 1, then 3 dc all in the same space. This creates the first hexagon corner. In the next space, to work the hexagon side, chain 1, then work 3 dc in next space. Keep going in this manner, working a corner of two “clusters” and a side of 1 cluster (each cluster being separated by a chain 1). Join with a slip stitch to close the round and do not cut the yarn.

Hanging Loop, Seaming, & Finishing:

• Slip stitch over to the next corner space. Then, slip stitch into the first stitch after the corner space.
• Chain 8 for the hanging loop.
• Next, fold the hexagon in half. If you face the hexagon towards you, with one of the flat sides at the top, draw an imaginary line right down the middle of one of the flat sides and then fold along the imaginary line. See photo:

• Work a single crochet into the same stitch (where you made the chains for the hanging loop) into both layers.
• Work a single crochet into each stitch and in each space until you come to the “heel” which is also the next corner space.
• Work 3 single crochet into the corner space (the heel of the stocking).
• Work a single crochet into each stitch and space around to the toe to seam the rest of the stocking.
• Fasten off and weave in any ends.
• Embellish the stocking with bells, pompoms, bows or anything else you like!
