It’s that time of year again, when twinkling lights and the smell of freshly baked cookies fill the air. Yes, Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning for those fun and festive holiday decorations. But before you go out and spend a small fortune on store-bought stockings, make your own! Crochet Christmas stockings are not only charming and unique, but also a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your holiday décor. The Mini Bean Christmas Stocking Crochet Pattern is so festive and cute! It uses a fun stitch called the Mini Bean – or Elizabeth – Stitch. It’s a small puff stitch that creates a great texture. 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.
