Inspiration
The original Country Cottage Stocking was the very first pattern of the Country Cottage collection! I designed that pattern in 2019 and loved the stitches and texture so much I continued to design more patterns with it!
Around Christmas of 2021, I had the idea of making a mini Country Cottage Stocking but ran out of time to design it. Now in 2022, I got the chance to design it plus some other Country Cottage minis!
Yarn
I used Red Heart Super Saver for my Mini Country Cottage Stocking, but feel free to use any medium (4) weight yarn! One of the best parts of this pattern is that is uses a minimal amount of yarn so you can use any left over yarn you may have in your stash!
Some other yarn brands I think would work great for this pattern is: Lion Brand Yarn Color Theory, Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch, , Big Twist Value, I love This Yarn, or Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek.
