A few years ago I created a crochet stocking for everyone in my family, and I let them choose the colors. You may have seen this on my instagram or tiktok, I was really proud of it. The colors each person chose for their crochet christmas stocking weren’t Christmasy in nature, but it resulted in a visual representation of everyone in the family and I was quite proud of it. That same year I created a Christmas Tree with only crochet ornaments.
The very next year my daughter asked me to crochet stockings for her and her husband – it was their first Christmas together, and I was honored. I chose a different pattern to make theirs unique for their home.
I’ve listed both of those patterns I have tried here along with other patterns I either love, purchased, or at least considered. I consider them beginner friendly even though one of them has a more intermediate concept because the patterns are written to be beginner friendly, not because the stitches are necessarily that way.

- Bobble Stocking Pattern by A Crafty Concept – this is the stocking pattern I used to make each of my family members their own colorful stocking. I was able to make one stocking per day over the course of a week – it comes together really quickly.
- Granny Hexi Stocking by OriginalLovely – this is the stocking pattern I used to create my daughter and her husband their stockings for their first Christmas together in their new home.
- Basket Weave Stocking by Sonoma Oak Designs – I love this stocking pattern because it is made up of a stitch that looks super sturdy – and if you’re like me and love to stuff your crochet christmas stockings to the brim, you know sturdiness is a good thing to factor in.
- Fabulously Festive Christmas Stocking by Gleeful Things – I love the interest that the different stitches offers to this pattern – it contains the puff stitch which will always reign among my favorites.
- Hexagon Stocking by Passionate Crafter – you’ve seen the hexagon cardigan, this stocking takes the same concept only smaller and you can hang it on your mantle 😀
- Granny Square Stocking by Joann – What’s a good round up without a granny square crochet pattern?
