Crochet granny stockings are a beautiful addition to any home decoration, especially at Christmas – The festive period. How else can we talk about Christmas decorations without Granny Stockings?

I am excited to share with you this mega granny Christmas stocking-free pattern.

Recently, we added a new baby to our family, which means that we need additional stocking. I decided to make mega, chunky stitching and thought I would share it with you all.

How do you crochet a granny stocking

Crocheting the granny stitch stocking is such a fun thing. It uses the basic crochet stitch – Double Crochet and Chains. If you can make these two stitches, you can crochet your granny stitch stocking.

For the granny stockings, double crochets are made into each chain space. This set is called “shells,” which is – 3 dc.

Perfect, the granny square stitch, explained in detail in this post. More crochet projects for Christmas
