Granny Stripe Stocking Pattern
🎶 It’s the most wonderful tiiiiiiiiime of the yearrrrrrrrr! 🎶
Is that because it’s 🎶the holiday season 🎶? Partially. But mostly it’s because our Granny Stripe Stocking Pattern is finally available!!!
Just like when we were conceptualizing the Granny Square Cardigan Pattern, Marisa and I spent some time (on Zoom) sketching and brainstorming all of the details that would make the perfect Granny Stripe Stocking.
After testing various stripe designs, building out the stitches for making the toe and heel, making a cuff, frogging it, and making it all again, we finally landed on, what we (humbly) believe to be the perfect, beginner-friendly, Granny Stripe Stocking Pattern.
GRANNY STRIPE STOCKING PATTERN
There are countless ways to design the stripes of your stocking! This is ideal if you’re looking to crochet several granny stripe stockings in coordinating colors for a family! In the pattern, we’ve put together a few design concepts to get you started, as well as the approximate amount of Favorito yarn you’ll need to achieve each design.
Our granny stripe stocking pattern is available for purchase in The Neon Tea Party Shop.
Already have a 4mm hook, and more yarn than you know what to do with? Grab just the pattern.
Experiencing color decision paralysis? We’ve curated three different yarn bundles that will stitch together beautifully!
Note: Each yarn bundle includes enough yarn to crochet one stocking exactly as pictured.
SUPPLY LIST
Here’s everything you’ll need to crochet your own Granny Stripe Christmas Stocking:
- Favorito yarn*
- 4mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle for weaving your ends
- Optional but helpful: Stitch Markers
*The total amount of yarn you’ll need in each color can vary, depending on the cuff, heel, toe, and stripe design of your stocking. For example, if you’re making the stocking exactly as pictured, you’ll need 6 skeins of Favorito in 6 different colors. If you’re making a solid stocking with 1 accent color for the cuff, heel, and toe, you’ll need 1 skein of Favorito for the accent color, and 3 skeins for the body of the stocking. In the pattern, we’ve put together five different stocking design concepts, as well as the approximate amount of Favorito yarn you’ll need to achieve each design.
ADD A BAUBLE!
Completely optional, but highly recommended — make a hanging pom pom and tassel bauble for your stocking!
In the pattern we share all of the details on how to make the exact stacked tassel bauble pictured here. We highly recommend playing with various pom pom sizes, tassel lengths, and yarn blends to create the perfect accessory for your own custom crochet stocking!
If you’re new to making pom poms and tassels, here’s everything you’ll need:
- Favorito yarn – we recommend using whatever yarn is left over after your stocking is complete
- Standard Loom Tool
- Embroidery Floss (if making pom poms)
- Scissors
- Optional but helpful: Tassel Comb
