Make great crochet gifts for Christmas!

These little crochet Christmas stockings are great gifts,
garlands, ornaments, perfect for adding to a tree or decorating a present and
what´s most important fun to crochet. Make them red, green and white, combine
colors, use different hook sizes and yarns. 

Here I used acrylic yarn: G-B No 1, (DK weight) with a hook
size number 2,5 (you could use 3mm hook)

I´ve also tried the stocking pattern with a 4,5mm crochet
hook using Alize Lanagold Plus, which turned out great! I will show them in my
next post. 

I have to say I´ve never used acrylic yarn before, but
these colors were the perfect match and I decided to give it a try. I´ve mostly
designed crochet toys and used natural yarns to complete my amigurumi toys but
acrylic yarn works absolutely fine when making crochet decorations and
garlands. It´s not easy to find a holly green color, the perfect green which is
associated with Christmas. 

You can vary the size of your stocking just by changing the
hook size, by changing the yarn thickness and also by varying the tightness of
the stitches!

Using
a 2,5mm hook: approx 10 cm/3.94 inc

Using
4,5mm hook: approx 15 cm/5.9 inc

The
bigger your hook the bigger your stocking ends up being.

I
hope you enjoy making them. All photos are welcome or if you are using Ravelry
or Instagram, tag me that I could see your crochet creations made with this
pattern.
