Free Holiday Crochet Stocking Pattern

Help

I am also finding the heal confusing. As someone else said if you follow these instructions, by the fourth row you run out of stitches. Am I supposed to centre the first 15 sc, 2togsc, 1 sc on the first row of 23 sc

• In order to make the heel, when it looks like you have run out of stitches, you will jump down to the first row to complete the sc2tog and following sc. We've bookmarked a video that begins with row 3 and also shows row 4 so you can see how this works. https://youtu.be/LnoZxjAJ0q0?si=Rtx4UHPa5JaVCSLV&t=1013

Not for beginners, needs to be re-written

Horribly written pattern, do NOT recommend for beginner crocheters. If you follow the pattern and chain 46, join with slip stitch to form a ring and continue the next round by chaining 1 for height and sc in each to the end, there will not be a Rs/Ws. It’s always the right side you’re working on .. I don’t think the ribbed pattern cuff from the alternating back loop looks like the pictures cuff at all. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t look as advertised imo. I’ve been crocheting for over a year so it wasn’t hard for me to put this together on my own, only slightly frustrating. It’s a good base for a stocking if you know what you’re doing but it would be a true headache for someone just starting out that needs to follow the pattern.

• Thank you for your feedback regarding the Holiday Crochet Stocking pattern. When the cuff is started, you will work in the round on the right side (RS) of the fabric for that first round. However, at the end of the first round, the pattern instructs to turn the work after the join so you will now be working on the wrong side (WS) of the fabric. This keeps the beginning of the round at the same place each round instead of skewing as crochet naturally does. If you do not turn, your project will not look like the sample. We hope this helps you gain a better understanding of the construction of the stocking.

Horrible Pattern

As others have said the heel shaping makes no sense. Even following the instruction left by Yarnspirations a year ago doesn't help. Hard to believe there has been no corrected pattern or full set of instructions for the heel shaping at least. Very disappointed.

• Thank you for your feedback regarding the Holiday Crochet Stocking. While this video is not for this exact pattern, the heel shaping is exactly the same. We hope a video tutorial on heel shaping will help you. We have bookmarked the video at the beginning of the heel shaping for your convenience. https://youtu.be/LnoZxjAJ0q0?si=2MaC1mLA9WTV4OEN&t=769 Happy stitching!

Wish there was a video.

I’m at a complete lost. Not sure where to join for the heel base. A video or pictures would be a great help.

• We would be more than happy to assist you with your pattern inquiry. Please send your details to inquire@yarnspirations.com and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Heel is confusing

The heel shaping instructions are very confusing and I can't get through them. For escape one you get to row 3, it calls for sc 1 in next 10 stitches, sc2tog & sc in next stitch but once you get to the sc2tog there aren't anymore stitches to use! Please help!

Good pattern overall

This is an easy pattern overall, although the stitch count and directions for the shape heel section are off. It says to decrease, but the stitch count is increasing (like another person said). If you are working decreases, your stitch count should decrease, not increase like the pattern reads.

shape heal instructions are confusing

row 1 of shape heal is 16 stitches, rows 2-8 are decreasing a stitch, but directions on each row are increasing, 10, then 11 then 12 etc? maybe ! am not reading it correctly?

• Thank you for contacting us regarding the Holiday Crochet Stocking. Row 1 of the heel shaping instructs: ch 1, then to single crochet in the first 15 stitches, then Sc2tog (which is a decrease stitch worked over the next 2 stitches), you'll complete row 1 with a single crochet and leaving the remaining stitches unworked. Rows 2 - 8 are similar to the first, decreasing by 1 stitch each row. You'll continue to decrease through Row 8. Hope this clarifies and helps you on your way to completing the holiday stocking. Happy crocheting!

Easy , pretty, and giftable!

I have made so many of these for\all my grandchildren, and now great grandkids! Loved by all!

HEEL directions just don’t work! I’ve tried 5 times! Start 22 stitches,next row, stitch 15 sc, sc2tog, 1 sc. following rows same stitches but start # changes. Next is 9, next 10, 11, 12 problem is the rows don’t have spaces to stich increased SC. HELP!!

Seconding Dede's question. The heel is uneven following the clarified instructions you've given here, and it's not clear where to join on or how to continue. The stitches don't match.

At the end of the instructions for joining the round (heel) it says join - join to what? I wish there were diagrams.
