Stocking Pattern:
Body of the Stocking:
- Rounds 1-8: Begin with creating a ring and proceed through increasing half double crochet stitches up to 48 stitches for the toe section.
- Switch to the main color for the foot for Rounds 9 onwards, performing single crochet in the back loop until Round 23, accounting for both toe and additional rounds.
Heel:
Repeat the initial steps as the toe for Rounds 1-7 to create the heel shape, followed by Rounds 8 and 9, switching to the main color and single crocheting in the back loop until reaching 23 rounds in total.
Fair Isle Design:
Introduce this pattern at any desired point, utilizing front and back loop half double crochets to create a distinct texture (Rounds 1-4).
Cuff:
Create the cuff by alternating back loop and front loop half double crochets across 4 rounds to add an elastic texture to the stocking’s opening.
Hanger:
Craft a hanger by chaining and crocheting a short length to be attached to the top of the stocking, allowing it to be hung.
Finishing Touches:
- Attach the hanger to the inside of the cuff with whip stitches.
- Add any optional embellishments to personalize the stocking.
- If desired, stuff the stocking with your choice of filling for a plump appearance.
This pattern offers a blend of traditional and textured crochet techniques, perfect for creating a festive and cozy Christmas stocking.
