It’s easy, works up quick, and looks great for any project! This stocking is a good size and can hold LOTS of goodies from Santa.
Let’s talk yarn! I used WeCrochet Brava Worsted in 4 colors. This is an acrylic worsted weight yarn that comes in a variety of colors. It’s an affordable yarn that is perfect for projects like Christmas stockings! Any worsted weight acrylic yarn would work great for this pattern.
