Easy mini DIY felted sweater stockings

Sometimes the simplest things turn out to give me the most trouble. Why is that? Or maybe it’s just me.

Thanks Gail for letting me stop by!
Anita—I love, love, love your stocking, and your mini ones are so adorable too! I hate to sew, but if I ever shrink a wool sweater, I’ll definitely be making one of these! The color of yours is perfect. Thanks for a great tute, and your very kind words about MRL!

Love this stocking! And thanks for the easy instructions!
I love the little stockings, which look even more difficult to make. And that sweater, what a find, it’s just perfect for this project.
How cute! I love the soft fuzzy texture!
If I ever find wool sweaters, I’m going to do this. They look great, Anita. And I didn’t even notice the seam on the outside.
What a great idea Anita! I’ll definitely have a look at your other sweater projects.
