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