Wheat Stitch™ Stocking Crochet Pattern
Give your holiday decorating a cozy upgrade with the Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Stocking, designed with my signature Wheat Stitch texture and worked neatly from the toe up for a polished, seamless finish. This festive crochet stocking pattern is perfect for creating handmade Christmas décor, gift-giving, or adding a timeless touch to your mantel.
After you create the toe, you’ll work the foot in (joined and turned) rounds, leaving an opening for the heel (we’ll loop back to that later). Once the foot is complete, you’ll continue the stocking body in Wheat Stitch rounds until it reaches that classic, elegant height. Your stocking will be finished with a clean, stretchy ribbed cuff, then you’ll add a hanging tab to display it with pride. Personalize it with festive touches, such as tassels, pom-poms, or tiny bells, to make it uniquely yours.
This pattern offers a beautiful, textured look while remaining fun and approachable for both confident beginners and experienced crocheters. Create one as a thoughtful handmade gift or stitch a whole matching set for the family.
A video tutorial is included in the pattern.
