In the post, you’ll find everything you need to learn how to crochet a Christmas stocking! Is there anything more festive than a stocking? This fun festive crochet Christmas stocking is made up of interlocking hexagons which are one of my favourite shapes to crochet! Plus it’s quick and simple to make once you’ve got the hang of a crochet hexagon. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried a crochet hexagon before because I have the written pattern and video tutorial in this post to help get you started.
So pop on your favourite festive film, grab your materials and tools and let’s get festive together!
