Miniature Christmas Stockings: Free Crochet Pattern

Christmas is on it's way!  And what better way to get started (or progressing) with Christmas handmaking then some adorable miniature stockings!?

Or, as the "Big Bad Wolf" from "Toopy & Binoo's Big Bad Christmas" would say; "It's not a stocking!  It's a sock!!"  

Yeah, I watch far too much children's television programming . . . I guess that's motherhood for ya!

Welp, anyway, these miniature Christmas stockings are perfect for teacher, helper, ECE, bus driver, favourite restaurant server, mother-in-law, favourite neighbour (you get the idea!) gifts.  They are the perfect size to hold a good, old-fashioned plastic gift card & still have room to accommodate two or three (or even eight or ten) small sweets!!





Not only do they work excellent as community member gifts, they even look lovely festooning the Christmas tree (or suction cupped to the window . . . it use to be a glass snowman.  I guess my littlest had other plans!!)

And did I mention, they crochet up incredibly quickly!!  You could make several in an afternoon and be nearly ready for Christmas gifting (I say nearly because you may need to still put something actually in the stocking - or not! - entirely up to you!!)

The FREE pattern today is for the classic styling of the Christmas Red & White stocking set as pictured below.  If you would like an ads free version of the pattern or the added directions for the Frozen Inspired Set please check out the paid version below!  ↓↓

Free Winter Snowball Knitting Pattern

It's only the beginning of November and the snow has been falling on southern Ontario most of the weekend!!  We already have 2 inches and fluffy flakes are falling again!!

After a weekend of snowiness, it seems like a great night to stay in and work on my little blog!!

Upon returning to Red Mitten Designs after several unplanned months of hiatus I decided that the blog needed a face-lift.  Now, to be clear, I'm not a "coder" (is that even the right term?)  In other words, if it isn't fairly straight forward, with simple step-by-step instructions I don't know much about technology.

When I went in and changed my blog "theme" I ended up messing up half of my blog posts and losing one or two others!

Rustic Stars

With Halloween behind us and November beginning, it's time to start making Christmas decor!!

Mother Nature got a jump on winter this year and it snowed here the other night.  I know, snow!!  Don't believe me?  Check out the pic!!!

Hey, yes, it's grainy.  It's like looking at the Lock-Ness Monster or Big Foot or something.  It's showing you something you don't really want to believe was ever actually there!

Once the storm cleared out of the atmosphere, the stars in the heavens seemed to pop out of the black velvet (yes, I was up really late - or was it early - after the storm.  Kids you know!).  Living in the country, with no street lights or security lights in sight, the stars always seem to shine just a little bit brighter and seem just a little bit closer.  When that happens it's so much easier to believe that God truly is near!!
