Holiday Stockings

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®

GAUGE:

12 single crochet + 14 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

sc2tog (sc dec) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

For directions on the blanket stitch (border around medium stocking), please click here.

NOTES:

2 balls of A and 1 ball of B will make all 3 stockings

Holiday Stockings Reviewed by Stephanie on 2009-12-15 *****
Easy and fun pattern! I made the medium pattern, but just shortened it a little to make a more chunky-shaped stocking. It only took one evening, and came out really cute! I can't wait to make more.
