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.

Alpine Mini Christmas Stocking

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?

My Alpine mini Christmas stockings are 6 inches long and used just over 40 yards of yarn each to crochet with a H (5 mm) hook. It’s a cute pattern but does take longer to crochet than my basic BLO mini stocking pattern or my mini cuffed stocking pattern. But the Alpine stockings are much fancier and have a much more textured look.
