Crochet Christmas Hexi Granny Stocking
Materials Needed:
- Yarn Colors: Tabby Cloud Mero, Olive, and Natural (1 ball of each for one stocking, 1 ball of Tabby Cloud Mero and Olive, and 2 balls of Natural for both stockings)
- 5.5 mm crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Removable stitch markers
Pattern:
Granny Hexagons:
- Crochet 14 full-size hexagons and 3 half hexagons.
- Use a gentle felting process after assembly to add durability and structure.
Full Hexagon Pattern:
Start:
- Begin with a magic ring.
Round 1:
- Chain 1, then create six puff stitches into the ring, chaining one between each puff stitch. Tighten the magic ring once completed.
Color Change:
- Slip stitch to new color at the end of the round.
Rounds 2-4:
- Follow the specific instructions for creating layers of double crochet stitches, creating corners, and changing colors to form the hexagonal shape. Each round ends with a slip stitch to join and a color change.
Final Round:
- Consists of creating double crochet clusters around, with a final slip stitch to join the fourth and final color.
Half Hexagon Pattern:
Start:
- Similar to full hexagons but begins with chaining two from the magic ring.
Progression:
- Follow a reduced pattern similar to the full hexagon to achieve the half hexagon shape, including color changes and creating partial corners.
Final Steps:
- Similar to full hexagons, ending rounds with slip stitches and preparing for assembly.
Assembly:
- Lay out and sew together the hexagons as per the stocking assembly diagram. Use the tails from the hexagons for seaming.
- Fold the assembled piece according to instructions to form the stocking shape.
- Use removable stitch markers to hold it in place before final seaming.
Top Border & Hanging Loop:
- Crochet a border along the top opening of the stocking.
- Create a hanging loop from a slip-stitched chain, attaching it to the stocking.
Felting (Optional):
- Gently felt the assembled stocking to enhance durability and structure. Use hot water and gentle agitation by hand.
Finishing Touches:
- Neaten up by weaving in any leftover ends.
- If felting, lay flat to shape and dry.
