This Bobble Crochet Stocking Pattern is so festive and cute! Because of the bulky weight yarn, it works up surprisingly fast. This stocking is a good size and can hold LOTS of goodies from Santa!
This pattern calls for bulky weight yarn and a J/6.0 mm hook. But worsted weight yarn could definitely be used. I would go down to an H/5.0 mm hook and your stocking will come out slightly smaller than the pattern suggests.

My bobbles were a little off. And it took a bit working on my first stocking. But now I’m on my second stocking and I can’t get over how easy these are to put together. Thank you for the step by steps!!
Oh good! I’m glad you figured it out 🙂
What is the weight of the chunky yarn needed to use for this bobble stocking?

Hi
Do you have the Bobble Crochet Stocking Pattern in video instructions?
If not, do you know where I could find one?
Thank you,
Aileen
Hi! No, I don’t yet 🙂
Hi, doing well with bobble stocking but at row 33 im instructed to do a bobble row. It is lining straight up from the prior bubble ,in bubble row #21, instead of being a little off centered. What should i do?? Thanks for your reply.
Aileen
Hi! When doing the bobble repeats, make sure you are alternating between rounds 17 & 21. So if it’s lining up, then do the opposite round repeat. Hope that helps!
