Simply Christmas Stocking

The Simply Christmas Stocking was the first stocking I crocheted. I designed these when my kids were little. Since then I have added to the Christmas Stocking collection using different stitches and sizes. Keep those secret treasures in this fun, quick and easy as pie stocking. Make a few just in time for Christmas. You can even make some for your local charity. Find the materials list below, and purchase an ad-free PDF by clicking here. Enjoy!

Queue & Favorite on Ravelry! #SimplyChristmasStockingMB I like stitching up a dozen or so throughout the year and fill them them with little goodies and sometimes a pair of mitts and hat. Once I have filled up my stockings I take them to my local children’s hospital, shelters, etc. for the kids.

I would love to see your projects in my Facebook Group and/or on Instagram!
