Faux Fur Stocking

I'm so excited to publish my first Holiday pattern for 2020!

I have so many to come before Christmas....

I wanted to make new stockings for my girls this year and they loved this yarn so much....this faux fur brings out the cozy!

You will need ONLY ONE ball of Fable Fur from WeCrochet to make one stocking!

Talk about budget friendly.

It's also super bulky, so this works up very quickly.

Look at all the colours you can choose from to make matching stockings for your family.

Now for the super easy pattern.

Notes before you begin:

-I have labelled this pattern as easy/advanced for a reason: this yarn makes it hard to see stitches, you have to feel for your stitches to know where they are.  If you are a beginner crocheter, I wouldn't recommend this being one of the first yarns you try.  Please use this pattern with ANY super bulky yarn and try it out first.

-the stocking is worked in the round: starting from the toe, to the heel, and then continued all the way to the top

-I used EXACTLY one ball for each stocking I made, if you want to make a bigger size, you will need to grab yourself another skein

Ready?

Let's get to the pattern.
