The Best Stocking Patterns for Beginners
Take a look at four of my favorite types of crochet stockings for new crocheters to make. They are all simple enough that you could crochet all four of these free patterns if you want as well. Enjoy!
1. Basic Christmas Stocking Pattern
Let’s start with a basic crochet Christmas stocking. This pattern is perfect for beginners. You’ll need some Lion Brand yarn, which is great for its quality and variety of colors.
The pattern involves simple stitches like the single crochet stitch, making it a great project to work for newer crocheters. The best part? You can easily add your personal twist with different yarn colors or by adding a faux fur trim at the top!
2. Striped Christmas Stocking
If you love colors, this striped Christmas stocking pattern is for you. It’s a bit more advanced than the basic pattern but still manageable for beginners.
This pattern plays around with different yarn colors, adding a fun and festive look to your stocking. You can follow the free tutorial PDF, which breaks down each round, making it easier to follow along.
3. Faux Fur Yarn Stocking
For those who love a bit of luxury, try a Christmas stocking pattern using faux fur yarn. This pattern typically uses a chunkier yarn weight, giving your stocking a plush, cozy feel.
It’s a great way to add texture and warmth to your Christmas decor. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to crochet, even for beginners.
4. Christmas Stocking with a Heel
Ready to challenge yourself a bit? Try a crochet stocking pattern that includes a heel. This gives your stocking a more traditional shape and is a great way to learn a new crochet technique.
And the best part is that these are mini stockings, so they are great for beginners to make and try.
