Just finishing up my Christmas in July mini stockings for this years’ Warmth for Warriors drive. Here are my last two stockings for the month.
I wanted to do a little experiment using the BLO mini Christmas stocking pattern. The stocking on the left was crocheted in back loops only (BLO). The one on the right was crocheted through both loops using the same pattern. They are both 6 inches long but the one crocheted through both loops is a bit wider.

I tried out a new mini Christmas stocking pattern. The Alpine Christmas stocking pattern features 4 different sizes you can crochet. The jumbo stocking is about 22 inches long and the sizes go down to the mini stocking which is about 6 inches long. The mini size is perfect for the Warmth for Warriors stockings that I crochet each year.
Here is the first little stocking I crocheted using the mini stocking directions.
This stocking is a bit wonky as the red yarn was very thin and the white yarn was much thicker but it still turned out to be a cute stocking. Plus I learned and got better with the Alpine stitch as I worked through this stocking.
Once I figured out the specialized stitch, I moved on to another stocking and used yarn that was of equal thickness. This green mini stocking turned out much better looking and I think I have crocheted the Alpine stitch pattern more actually now. I also crocheted the toe in the same color as the main stocking which I thought looked better. Check out the photo below and let me know what you think?
