Crocheted Stocking

So the other night I started looking online for crochet patterns, specifically ornaments. Then I found the perfect one at this site:

Beautiful. But the catch? $4 for the pattern. No way was I going to pay for a pattern, so I 
searched a little longer and found a free pattern.

Perfect. I tried it out but the stocking was a little larger than I wanted. 



So I modified the pattern to use double and triple crotchets plus a little less stitches/rows and came 
up  with the cute red stocking. It's about the size of my hand. I may try again to get a smaller one too. 
The red one is about the size of my hand.


It took me a little over an hour to make each one (maybe 1-1/2 hours?). I think I must be slow at crochet.
Oh well, I think they are cute. :)
