Crochet Moss Stitch
I’ve been getting so many requests for a pattern in the moss stitch, also known as the linen stitch, granite stitch, or woven stitch! I started making a blanket and decided to create an entire Christmas collection around this beautiful stitch. The crochet Moss Stitch is a beginner-friendly stitch consisting of single crochets and chains. I hope you enjoy the collection as much as I do!

Pattern Support
Notes:
The pattern is written for a striped stocking, but it can be simplified by working in a solid colour, eliminating the need for colour changes. When changing colours, work a slip stitch as normal (not a reverse slip stitch) to join with the current colour, then switch to the next colour.
Carry the main colour (MC) yarn up the inside of the stocking and cut and weave in all other colour ends. To reverse slip stitch go through the stitch back to front, Keep working yarn to the front, YU (yarn under) pulling through the loop on the hook.

Tassel
Cut 30 yarn strands that are 15 inches long each. Cut two additional strands at 25-inches in length. Next, tie and knot the 30 strands together with the 25-inch yarn strand at the halfway point. Tie the 2nd 25-inch yarn length tightly around all the strands, creating a small ball shape.
Knot and weave ends under the ball. Trim. If adding decorative wooden beads, thread them down the twine toward the tassel ball with a yarn needle. Finally, attach the tassel to the stocking by tying it securely with the yarn tail to the bottom edge of the band seam.
I-cord for Hanging
Begin with a long tail 25″. Join yarn to the top of the folded band at the seam with a sl st. *YO (yarn over) the hook with the tail, YO with the working yarn, and pull through two loops on the hook; repeat from * for a total of 15 sts. Slip stitch to the band. Fasten off knot tails and trim.
Blocking
Place the crochet stocking on a piece of cardboard and trace its shape. Cut out the stocking shape and insert the cardboard inside. This step is crucial for ensuring the stocking maintains its best appearance.
After blocking, the stocking will retain its shape and achieve a polished look. You can also store or hang your stocking with the cardboard inside to preserve its perfect shape. I recommend saving shipping boxes for this purpose.
