Some of you may remember my crochet Christmas stockings pattern, which I designed years ago.
It was one of my early designs, which means I made a few mistakes in the pattern. I ended up taking it down, with every good intention of updating the design with a new pattern. You know how it goes, time moved on quickly.
Every one loved these crochet Christmas stockings, and every year since people have asked me ” where did the crochet Christmas stockings pattern go!?”
Now I’m SO happy to have had the time and opportunity to redo them, just in time for the holiday. These only took a couple of hours to make, so you still have plenty of time to make a few to hang up.
It took me quite a few trips to find some more red colored lion brand wool ease thick and quick, but you can of course use any color you prefer and skip all the driving and cursing.
Like I said, this crochet Christmas stockings pattern works up fast, it’s very easy, super fun and just an awesome addition to you holiday decor.
Let’s celebrate in style this year! Onto the pattern. But first…..
