Mini Tree Stocking Ornaments
From the Designer: "These are miniature Christmas stockings made from 4 ply yarns. Each stocking takes about a half an hour or less to make. I even use fun fur as the top trim and ribbon for the bows. For each color yarn I use a make three or four different sizes from really tiny about 1 1/2 inches up 4 inches. I make larger ones to use as treat gift bags too. The ornaments make the tree look so festive!"
