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.
