Alpine Christmas Stocking
"This crochet pattern will help you create a festive Christmas stocking with a lovely thick texture using the alpine stitch. Christmas stockings are a massive part of the Christmas tradition and a handmade quality stocking could be treasured for years to come and handed down through generations in your family. The completed stocking will measure 17” x 6”, I would describe it as a full sized Christmas stocking, the perfect size to hang over your fireplace ready to be filled with gifts.
