Joining Granny Squares:
Lay out your granny squares right sides facing.
- Join two squares together by single crocheting through the front loop of the first stitch and the back loop of the second stitch in the corner.
- Continue single crocheting around the edge of the squares, joining them together in this manner.
- Once all the squares are joined, fold the stocking together with the right sides facing.
- Starting at the top, single crochet through both layers of the fabric to join the sides of the stocking together.
- Continue crocheting around the entire stocking until you reach the starting point.
- Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Finishing Touches:
- Block your stocking to your desired size (the video blocks the squares to 3.25 inches).
- Attach any name tags or other embellishments using a yarn needle and thread.
- Make a tassel by cutting 30 strands of yarn to your desired length (the video uses 14-16 inches).
- Tie a piece of twine through the center of the strands and knot it securely.
- Add additional strands of yarn to make the tassel thicker if desired.
- Trim the ends of the tassel to even them out.
- Attach the tassel to the top of the stocking.
