New Christmas Stocking with Bobbles Pattern

I decided that I needed to design a Christmas Stocking pattern this year.  So, I did!!  I call it the “Christmas Stocking with Bobbles”.  It is really fun to make and it has such a fun and squishy texture.  I made my stockings with Red Heart SuperSaver yarn and I used a “K” hook.  I really like how the combination worked out.  

At first the pattern may seem a little daunting, but it really isn’t.  And, it actually is really easy to memorize so that you can work on it while you watch your favorite Christmas movies.  I’m really loving this pattern and I hope you do, too.  I would love to see your finished projects, so please post them on Instagram using the hashtag #lakeviewcottagekids.

I am posting the pattern here for FREE for the next couple of days.  After that it will be available in my Ravelry Store and Etsy Shop.  It won’t be free there, though, so be sure to check it out here now.  

Crochet Christmas Stocking

“Christmas Stocking with Bobbles” Crochet Pattern

Crochet Pattern

Designed By:  Christine Longe of Lakeview Cottage Kids

Here is the “Christmas Stocking with Bobbles” pattern!  At first glance it looks like it might be quite complicated, but it really isn’t.  It’s a good project for the Intermediate Crocheter.   I used a #4 weight yarn and “K” crochet hook.  You can use other weights of yarn and sizes of hooks but your size will be different.  Of course you can choose any color to make it in.  It turns out so beautifully and will be an heirloom for any member of the family, from newborn to grandparents.  I hope you love the pattern and your completed project!  Merry Christmas!!
