In the words of Mariah Carey: “It’s tiiiiiiiiiiiiime!”. Christmas time that is! It’s officially after Thanksgiving so trees, lights and decorations are going up. Among those decorations are stockings. I have the perfect one for your mantle this year!

This stocking pattern works up quickly, easily and beautifully! I love the various textures. It uses a bulky weight yarn which gives it a sturdy feel for filling up on Christmas Eve!

WHAT MATERIALS DO I NEED TO CROCHET THIS CHRISTMAS STOCKING?

• Bulky Weight #5 Yarn – I used Big Twist Gentle from JoAnn in the Aquamarine colorway
• J10/6mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Scissors
• Camino Christmas Stocking, Paid Crochet Pattern from BobblesAndBlooms via Etsy

MATERIAL NOTES:

Bulky weight yarn is recommended for this pattern. I think you could use a different size yarn but I don’t think it would look as nice nor would it hold up as well, in my opinion.

The pattern calls for a K10.5/6.5mm size hook but I went down a size purely because I hate my K hook. It always seems to snag on yarn and the J hook has always been a favorite of mine ever since I learned to crochet so I went with it!

A few alternative options are given, which would require other materials but they are purely optional.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CROCHET a STOCKING?

I finished this stocking in just under 3 hours. The pattern worked up very fast plus the specific yarn I used was super smooth and glided on and off my hook like butter!

MEASUREMENTS:

The pattern gives measurements of approximately 16 inches tall by 6 inches wide. Mine is smaller but I did use a smaller size hook and I know that I have a tighter tension than most. My measurements ended up being 11.5 inches tall by 5 inches wide.

GAUGE:

This pattern has no gauge and is not necessary for the pattern. However, to give you an idea of how mine turned out, the circumference of the toe rounds is 3 inches using half double crochet.

PATTERN NOTES:

This stocking pattern is just amazing! I love the ease of it, not to mention the speed at which it can be done in. If you need to make a whole family set of stockings, you could whip that out in a weekend!

Give this stocking a try and be sure to check out all the variation ideas given in the pattern for different looks and finishes!
