The Home for Christmas Crochet Stocking is a beautiful textured stocking! Made with a super bulky weight yarn, it can be made quickly for each member of the family.

I am going to confess that Christmas is one of my favourite seasons.  I have fond memories of Christmas growing up.  Our family keeps many traditions and looks forward to this season every year.

One of the traditions I always loved as a child and my children continue to love is the hanging of the Christmas stocking by the fireplace.

A New Christmas Stocking

This year I decided to design a Christmas Crochet Stocking that was quick and simple to make up.  This crochet stocking is made using a super bulky weight yarn and, because it works up quickly, makes a great last minute Christmas gift or décor to add to your own home! Once you are comfortable with the stitches, this pattern may only take you a few hours to create!

About the Pattern:

This pattern is worked from the toe up to the cuff.  It is seamless and worked as one piece.  As it is seamless you will require a stitch marker to mark the stitch at the beginning of each round.

Lots of Texture

The texture in the stocking is made by working half double crochet stitches in the third loop.  If you are not familiar with this technique, do not worry, you can check out the video tutorial below where I will explain how to work in the third loop.

Embellishments:

Finally, you may choose to add a couple of pompoms as an embellishment to your Christmas Stocking.  Below I have also included a couple of quick video tutorial on how to make pompoms using either a pompom maker or by recycling a couple of toilet paper rolls you may have lying around your house!
