Crochet Gift Card Stockings

Supplies Needed

• Yarn: Number 4 weight yarn in Tweed and Tan colors (Premier Yarns suggested)
• Crochet Hook: 6 mm
• Additional Tools: Paperclip (as stitch marker), scissors, tapestry needle

Steps:

Make a Magic Ring:

• Wrap tail over pointer and ring finger, looping yarn around.
• Insert hook to catch and pull yarn through to form the ring.
• Chain 1 to secure.

Round 1:

• Work 8 half double crochets (HDC) into the magic ring.
• Pull tail to close the ring tightly.
• Slip stitch into the first HDC to join.

Round 2:

• Chain 2. Work 2 HDC into every stitch around.
• You should have 16 stitches.

For Round 3:

• Chain 2. Work 1 HDC into each stitch around.
• Total of 16 HDCs.
• On last HDC, change to Tweed yarn.
• Continuing with Tweed Yarn

Round 4 to 6:

• Work 1 HDC into each stitch around for three rows.
• Keep stitch count at 16.

Round 7:

• Work 1 HDC into next 4 stitches, chain 8 (for stocking loop), skip 6 stitches, then HDC into last 5 stitches.
• Ensure you have 18 stitches by the end.

In Rounds 8 to 13:

• Continue with 1 HDC into each stitch around for a total of 6 rows.
• Change back to Tan yarn on last stitch of 6th row.

Adding Loops for Hanging:

Next Row:

• Create a hanging loop with a chain of 10, slip stitch to join.

Adding the Ribbed Top:

Ribbing:

• Chain 7. Skip the first from the hook, SC in the next 6.
• Slip stitch into the next two stitches of the previous round, then turn the work.
• Work 6 SC back loops only back down the chain.
• Keep repeating this process for ribbing around the top of the stocking, skipping the hang loop at one point.

Making the Bottom Patch:

Creating the Bottom Patch:

• Reattach Tan yarn in the center of the stocking bottom.
• Work in rounds to make a square patch, decrementing in the final rounds to gather the bottom.
• Secure and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.
