This Plaid 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.

This is amazing. I can’t wait to try it out
I’m beginning row 25 and confused with ch2, turn, ch2, turn. What do you do with the first ch2?
That’s a typo 😀 Sorry about that! Just one ch 2, turn
Thank you!
Oh ok thank you very much
Hi there love this pattern, for the cuff row 50 says to do the hanging loop but then says to continue to row 64 but that will mean the loop will be half way down the cuff and yours isn’t in the picture
It should be in the middle so when you fold the cuff down it will be on the top 🙂
How many stitches should there be when I start to sew the heel after row 8?
Hi! Looks like 8 – 10? I’m not 100% sure. As long as it’s small enough to just sew up, it will be fine 🙂
Love this pattern my stockings turned out great, a question if I was to cut this pattern in half to make a smaller stocking how would I go about doing that? For the toe would I cut the rows in half?
Love this stocking, but trying to figure out the best way to carry yarns as I work and do I leave one strand as I’m working with the other two Color’s?
