Snuggle Season Stocking: Free Crochet Stocking Pattern

Welcome to the Snuggle Season Crochet Stocking pattern, your new favourite project for adding warmth and style to your holiday decor! Featuring the same delightful cozy puff and post stitch design as our beloved Snuggle Season headband and beanie, this pattern coordinates beautifully with our Holiday Weave Stocking and the entire Holiday Home Collection.

These oversized stockings offer the perfect size for filling with treats and surprises for your loved ones, making them a charming addition to your festive celebrations. Personalize each stocking with name tags and hangers to create lasting memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.

To enhance the stocking’s character, I’ve incorporated beaded tassels, adding extra flair and fun. Designed as an intermediate-level project, this pattern includes a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial on YouTube, guiding you through the techniques required, such as front and back post double crochet stitches and puff stitches.

Crocheted with Wool of The Andes Bulky weight yarn, these stockings will not only look great but also provide the cozy, snuggly feel that embodies the spirit of the season.

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. Alternatively, attach a faux leather garment tag for hanging.

Blocking

Place the 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.

I hope you love our crochet stocking pattern. You might also love these crochet patterns!
