This stocking advent is so much fun, especially for children! It’s a very personal way to enjoy the days leading up to a holiday. Tuck little gifts inside each one for each day…they are even a good size to accommodate families with multiple children.
The stockings are a nice quick make, and because of the tapestry style used they are nice and sturdy and will hold up for years to come. I attached a leather loop with a Chicago screw to each one for hangers (don’t worry, you can crochet a loop instead if you prefer).
They can be hung by hooks on a board, or they can be strung together with twine or a crochet chain and hung as bunting (so cute around a fireplace!). There are, of course, endless other ways to display them as well.
They are made by working in the round using mostly single crochet stitches, but also use split single crochet, front post double crochet and back post double crochet. I used a low-pill yarn for mine that is nice and soft and springy. Using a hook smaller than the yarn calls for gives a nice tight weave that won’t leave you with holes.

Yarn:
-Regular Size Stockings: Yarn Bee “Soft and Sleek” (4 - medium weight yarn). I used White, Light Grey, and Chili Red.
Color A (White) – 4 balls
Color B (Light Gray) – 4 balls
Color C (Chili Red) – 1 ball
-Mini Size Stockings: Baby Bee “Sweet Delight” (3 – light weight yarn). I used Angel and Baby Sage. They didn’t have a red in this style, so I used “Sport Weight” I Love This Yarn in Red.
Color A (Angel) – 2 balls
Color B1 (Baby Sage) – 1 ball
Color B2 (Red) – 1 ball
-This can also be a great stash buster!
