I’ve kept my Holiday decor neutral this year by using cream as my primary colour that looks gorgeous with all the blues in my home. I designed the Bobble all the way Christmas stockings in Tuff Puff and Fable Fur to match the tree skirt.
My youngest daughter wanted her stocking with pink fur. It looks so good now I’m wishing I had made mine in pink too!
The how-to crochet Christmas stocking tutorial also includes how to make those big beaded tassels. So let’s get right into how to make these stockings.
