Polka Dot Christmas Stocking Materials:

Worsted weight yarn in your choice of Christmas colors You can use two or three colors...your choice

(If you use 2 colors, you'll have rings instead of polka dots.) Main color A = 4 ounces Color B = 2 ounces Color C (optional) = 1 ounce

Crochet hook size HYarn needle

Gauge: Not important for this project.

Pattern Note: If using 2 colors, do round 1 in A, round 2 in B, and round 3 in A If using 3 colors, do round 1 in C, round 2 in B, and round 3 in A.

Make 17 of these hexagons.With your choice of color for round 1, ch 5; join with a sl st to form ring.

Round 1: Ch 3 to count as the first dc, work 11 more dc in the ring; join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. Fasten off first color. (12 dc)

Round 2: Attach round 2 color with a sl st in any dc; ch 3 to count as the first dc, (3 dc in the next dc, dc in the next dc) 5 times, 3 dc in the last dc; join with a sl st to the top of the be-ginning ch 3. Fasten off. (24 dc)Round 3: Attach color A with a sl st to the middle dc of any 3 dc group; ch 3 to count as the first dc, work 2 more dc in the same st, (dc in each of the next 3 dc, 3 dc in the next dc) 5 times, dc in each of the last 3 dc; join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch 3. (36 dc) Fasten off. Weave in ends.Assembly: With color A sc, sl st or sew the hexagons to-gether following the picture. (Sides of each hexagon are from the center dc of a 3 dc group to the next center dc of a 3 dc group.) I sc'ed mine together just to make it a little easier to see where the hexagons are joined. Also, I found it easier to as-semble if you start at the top.

11

Finishing: With color A sc evenly around the top of the stocking, starting at the heel side, then chain 18 for hanging loop. Join with a sl st to the first ch, then work a sl st in each ch around; join with a sl st to the first sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Quick ‘n Easy Christmas Stocking

This basic stocking takes just a little over an hour to crochet and assemble. Options for decorating the stocking are given following the pattern.

Materials:

You can get different looks for the basic stocking using dif-ferent yarns.*My favorite* for a “crushed velvet” look: 1 1/2 skeins of Lion Brand Chenille “Thick & Quick” For a homespun look: 1 1/2 skeins Lion Brand Wool-Ease "Thick & Quick"For a feminine, “boucle” look: 1 1/2 skeins Lion Brand Terry SpunAlternate yarn: 2 or 3 strands of worsted weight yarn held to-gether

Boye crochet hook size N (9.00 mm), or size needed to achieve gauge

Gauge: 6 stitches = 3 1/2”; 4 rows = 2” (using Chenille Quick & Thick) (Gauge note: Be sure to check gauge. It’s OK for your work to be a little bigger than gauge, but if your work is meas-uring smaller than gauge the stocking will be too narrow.)
