2019 Mini Stockings for Warmth for Warriors

[RecycleCindy]

Warmth for Warriors organization is again requesting for crafters to help crochet, knit, or sew mini handmade Christmas stockings for the troops. Stockings should be around 6 inches long and any pattern style or color is accepted. Stockings that are a little smaller or larger are okay too.

The miniature stockings will be filled at W4W Headquarters with soaps, toiletries, and candies for overseas to our troops as a little Christmas gifts. The little stockings filled with goodies are a wonderful way to say thank you to our troops and give them a little Christmas cheer during the holidays. We also need donations of the little motel sized soaps, shampoos, chapsticks and other small items for stuffing the stockings.

Shipping address for all USPS packages to:

Warmth for Warriors
PO Box 353
Rudyard, MI 49780

Deadline for shipping stockings to Warmth for Warriors and delivery to them is November 1, 2019.

Total number of stockings received in 2018 was 3,648!

Yea and such a lovely batch of stockings for our troops. Thank you so much for all you do.

Here are 4 more mini stockings I finished up this weekend. I added a scalloped edging to the BLO pattern. It's fun to mix it up and add a different look while using the same basic crochet pattern.

I got a few more done this week

this sounds like a great stash buster! and perfect for me since I have short attention span for large projects LOL

Here is another group of stockings I crocheted using a big skein of Herrschners Holiday Sparkle in Colorway Victorian Christmas. I add some scalloped edging trim and the loopy trim on the bottom one.

Cindy thanks for sharing your pattern. I've been making scarfs for Operation Gratitude and I think I will start making some stockings with the extra yarn.

Oh so wonderful to have you join in. Please check out all my free stocking patterns here. Otherwise you can use any 5-6 inch mini stocking patterns you might like. We try and get 6 inches long stockings but anything close is just fine. Thanks in advance for your help.
