This beginner-friendly pattern is just begging to be made!
Make these stockings with just one skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle (with some leftover to make some cup cozies!).
These stockings are jumbo in size, thanks in part to the extra squishy/cuddly/warm nature of the Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. And you know I love some extra squishy yarn.
Who doesn’t like extra squishy yarn?? Nobody. That’s who.
These stockings use simple stitches like single and double crochets and work up in about 2 hours. And that’s if you take your sweet time watching Grey’s Anatomy like I did.
I have not one but TWO stocking designs for you. Because I love ya.
One is a griddle stitch with yummy texture (the white and grey marble ones pictured!).
And for this one there is a VIDEO TUTORIAL that I made with Lion Brand to teach you all the ins & outs of this here stocking. Yeehaw!
The other (the red one) is a basketweave stitch stocking and is so much fun.
Talk about TEXTURE. This one’s got loads of it. It is barely smaller than the griddle and is the perfect thing for my son’s first Christmas. Oh, my momma heart.
Get both patterns below, or grab the yarn & pattern KIT from LionBrand.com! They’ve got a wicked deal going on and I’m so glad to bring it to all you lovely readers.
