Crochet Christmas stocking

Create a traditional handmade Christmas stocking in three useful sizes with this easy-to-follow crochet pattern from MK Crafts UK.

The stocking is worked mainly in joined rounds using UK half treble crochet, creating a firm and beautifully textured fabric. The rounded toe and afterthought heel are shaped with simple decreases, while the contrasting white cuff is worked in back-loop double crochet for a classic ribbed finish. Instructions for an optional hanging loop are also included.

Designed for confident beginners, the pattern contains clear written instructions, stitch counts and a complete decrease table for each size.

Finished sizes with the cuff folded:

• Small: approximately 31 cm long and 15–15.5 cm wide

• Medium: approximately 39 cm long and 20 cm wide

• Large: approximately 47 cm long and 24.5 cm wide
