40+ Free Crochet Christmas Stocking Patterns

Nothing says Christmas like the classic crochet stocking - it's a greatly oversized sock, typically red and green, and is perfect for hanging near your tree or resting against presents underneath it.

Of course, the classic Christmas crochet stocking can be worked up in any other color and design.

You can add a ripple stitch, as featured in the Zigzag Christmas Stocking, add some stripes like in the Sport Striped Crochet Stocking, or just stick to the classic red and white, like the Quick and Easy Christmas Stocking below. 

Crochet Christmas stockings are usually made large and oversized, but you can make a miniature version of them, too!
