Christmas stocking ornament

The fourth ornament pattern on the blog is a little, cute stocking! I am planning to do several Christmas ornaments pattern this year, so stay tuned for more! These Christmas ornaments will look awesome on your Christmas tree! Because they are fun and cute, kids will love them too! You can fill these stockings with candy or little treats. A perfect little gift for your loved ones.

This little ornament stocking is, like the other ornament patterns, quick and easy to make. This has the same ragdoll style as the Christmas tree and the lamb ornament, so they will go great together! I am having so fun designing these quick patterns and I am hoping you are having fun making them as well!

Information about the pattern

The stocking is made in rows and consists of two panels. They are crocheted separately and then the pieces are placed on each other and crocheted together. I stuffed the lower part of my stocking lightly with some filling material. You can also not stuff it, and put candy or something in it. The lower part of the stocking is crocheted with single crochet and the upper part is crocheted with front and back posts double crochet. These stitches will be explained. You can crochet bobble stitches around your stocking. This stitch will also be explained.
