Hello, Welcome, here you can get the free pattern for a quick crochet Christmas Stocking, which is really easy and will only take you about an hour to make, yep, only an hour!
This is a really easy beginners pattern to make a large crochet Christmas stocking.
The key to this project is the yarn. I love super bulky/ chunky yarn – because it’s quick to crochet anything with basically – I’m a lazy crocheter at heart (Or I never leave myself enough time to make something!)
So remember the Cygnet Seriously chunky metallics yarn, well I knew exactly what I wanted to make with the Lithium, as the red is so festive and Christmas coloured.
If you want to save this for plater – please Pin it below
Just look at this red, it’s absolutely stunning, and crying out to be made into something Christmasy.
Needless to say, it didn’t take me long, and I was crocheting away with my Clover 10mm hook.

How to Crochet a Christmas Stocking
I call this an improvers beginners pattern.
It’s not for complete beginners as there are a few stitches and techniques you need to know how to:
- make a magic ring
- work in a circle (Amigurumi method)
- Chain
- Single crochet (US)
- Half Double crochet (US)
- 2 HDC together
So slightly more involved than a beginners granny square for example, but not my much!
Large Crochet Christmas Stocking
This is a large Crochet Christmas stocking.
It measures 40cm x 17cm or 16 inches x 7 inches , the perfect size for when Santa comes to visit.
So to make this great stocking, perfect for the end of the bed, or the mantel piece, look no further.
As with all my patterns, you can get the free pattern below or an instant down loadable nicely formatted PDF (Ad free below), just think of it like buying me a coffee!

Yarn Choice – Quick and Easy Crochet Stocking
Yarn choice here is absolutely key as to why this crochet stocking pattern will only take about a hour to make.
The thicker the yarn, the quicker the project and this is no exception!

For this stocking pattern the yarn was key. Just look at the sheen on the red. Good news, they have now brought out a green too, and a white/ cream in the same brand.
