Traditional Christmas Stocking

My mother made our Christmas stockings when we were little.  She crocheted them without following a pattern, and it is the style I have grown to love.  I wanted to re-create them for my family, but with a few changes to make them my own.  This is the pattern I came up with to make ours, and I love them!  I hate having to finish a project after I'm done crocheting, so I tried to design this will as little extra work as possible.  I haven't gotten around to my names yet, but you can easily sew them on after!  

I hope you enjoy the pattern too!




You will need:


Pattern:


Chain 19

Row 1:

Single in 4th chain from hook until the end, then continue around the other side, then slip stitch to join. 

Row 2-4: Chain 2, single in previous singles to end of row, slip stitch to join. 

Row 5-7: Chain 2, single in previous singles to end of row, skip last single, slip stitch to join. 

Row 8-9: Chain 2, skip first single then single in previous singles to end of row, skip last single, slip stitch to join. 

Row 10: Chain 2, skip first single, then single through both layers for 7 singles. After, continue to single only in one layer around, then slip stitch to complete. 

Row 11-18: Chain 2, single in every stitch, skip last stitch, slip stitch.

Chain 1, cut off. 

Cuff:
Chain 25, slip stitch to join. 

Scalloped edge: chain 1, **half double crochet, in same stitch double/chain 2/double, half double crochet, single** Continue the stitches in between ** around to make 6 scallops, slip stitch. 

At this point you should really cut it off or come back and do this at the end. Instead I ran the ball of yarn back through the circle you just made to get the yarn in the other side and slipped stitch back to the other side of the original chains.  When continuing this way, each of my stockings came out a little different so I had no idea how many stitches each had around the the top.  So some of the following stitches went into the same stitch on the stocking bc it had less than the cuff I made, I just eyeballed it every so often just to get around.  

Row 1:  working from the bottom of the original chains, slip stitch onto a stitch at the top of the stocking and chain 2.  Continue around to single in each stitch, with your single joining a chain from the cuff to a stitch on the stocking, then slip stitch to join.

Row 2-6:  Chain 2, single in each stitch.

After the slip stitch on the last row, chain 6, then slip stitch back in the original stitch to make the hanger.

Textured Crossbody Tote Bag

I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.   Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of   Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre . 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Optional: Tassel Maker Body: Ch 47 Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker. Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the ...

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top o...

Granny Square Shrug Sweater

   I had seen a few granny square sweaters and shrugs, and I wanted to try making one.  This is a bit more of a "recipe" than a pattern.  I have written down exactly how I made one that fit me, but I also have notes on where to make adjustments and try it on to see if you need to make those changes.   Materials Needed: 6mm Crochet Hook Red Heart Comfort Yarn-Hot Pink , 1 ball Red Heart Super Saver Black , approximately 1.5 skeins Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just start with "Securing into Sweater Shape."  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch ...
