Mini Simple Stocking

Hanger

Use a metal ornament hook to hang or thread a strand of twine with a yarn needle through both layers of the folded-over band. Use a yarn needle to thread wooden beads onto the string. Knot and hang on your Christmas tree or use it as a present topper.

I’m so happy with how my Christmas Tree turned out. I added wooden bead garland and a few pinecone ornaments. I used my Easy C2C Blanket for my Tree Skirt and the Chunky Buffalo Plaid Crochet Throw to stay with the plaid theme. If you love my Christmas Sweater you can get it HERE and my skirt HERE. They really helped give my tree the rustic aesthetic I was going for!

Not only do these crochet ornaments look beautiful on a Christmas tree, but they make the perfect present toppers as well. The crochet decorations vary in skill level, and some can be made with no crochet experience. That way, the entire family can get involved.
