It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Wohoo, is it Christmas yet!?
I’m so excited to finally bring to you guys this brand-new design!
This Christmas Stocking is super simple to make and works up very quickly, you’ll want to make one in every single colour, I promise!
Pin now, crochet later!
This is a super easy and quick project, I have created two sizes, one big for all of us, adults in the house and a small size for the little ones!
Of course, you can make any size. I thought it was cute to make a small version when I first had my baby.
Feel free to explore different textures as well. I added a faux fur trim to it using Lion Brand Go for Faux yarn, but I think it would also look very very nice with any other colour of yarn and not just the furry one.

Cut a 1 meter of yarn to sew/close the heel

Once the heel is done, it’s time to continue to the top part of the stocking
