Crochet Miniature Holiday Christmas Stocking

[LiisaJF]

I just made this. It came out quite small! I'm not great at working in continual rounds lol. Took me around an hour... I used a double knit yarn. Is that the same as a worsted weight?

[tjw1963]

@LiisaJF I'm sorry but I am not familiar with that brand of yarn.

[ltllisa6]

How wide is the opening?

[tjw1963]

@ltllisa6 It is a small opening, just a couple inches.

[ltllisa6]

@tjw1963 thank you! I made 6 of these already! I am going to fill them with goodies for friends and family for Christmas. Great pattern and the video really helped. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a Merry Christmas :)

[823525Samantha]

i was very confused whn watching this.. i didnt understand all the words or directions it made it very confusing for me to look at what you were doing thn watch the words..

[LittleCraftyKitty]

I DOnt Even Know How To Crochet the thing you started with, Yet I fully Understand this video. This Is Amazing.

[bfam87]

I know it has been said many times, but this is a great video. A simple & great project for beginners; which I am. I have one question: After rounds 9-16, how do you join the yarn to start round 17?

[muffin2811]

I need the written pattern for this please and I can't find it on your blog. Thank You

[muffin2811]

When you say "without joing" does that just mean not to do a chain before I start next round of sc? I am just learning and want this to be my first project :) Tahnks

[tjw1963]

@muffin2811 Without joining will be working the continual round.

[muffin2811]

@tjw1963 ok thanks. One more question rounds 2-7 you say will be 22 sc. Can you explain that a little to me? I just thought that we were doing 11 sc so where does the 22 come from? Sorry to bug, thanks so much!

[samanthajonasfl]

how do you thread your Needle

[tjw1963]

@samanthajonasfl Are you talking about the needle you use to sew in tails?

[starg1rl13]

your videos arent very clear as far as exactly what to do because youre fingers get in the way sometimes

[cmkluz]

this is the first thing that I have made that I am like WOW!! I did it. I am going to stuff some for my daycare kiddies!! thank You

[tjw1963]

@cmkluz What a great idea for daycare kids! I appreciate the comment.

[Nattybug01]

I'm not sure if this has been said already, but instead of cutting the red yarn, why not just leave it loose and pick it up again when making the loop in the end? That way there is less to tie off and tuck. :)

[tjw1963]

@Nattybug01 I am not understanding what section you are talking about.

[Nattybug01]

@tjw1963 I meant when you make the loop to hang it on the tree. Just as I do the last st with the red, I ch about 25 then sl st it back into the beginning st. That way there is only one red string to tuck into the stocking in the end. I hope that makes sense and isn't more confusing, lol! In any case, I've made 10 so far in my quest to make 24 for my grade 2 class as christmas presents. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[tjw1963]

@Nattybug01 Sure, you can leave the yarn attached.

[mafhart]

thank you. the mini stocking i was making is not as nice as this one and i think it is going to be easier to do. thanks again.

[Kristonia69]

done.

[thresiawilliams]

Super Good; Do you have one for left handed crocheters learning?

[tjw1963]

I do not have this in left had format but I will see if I am able to convert it to left hand

[tjw1963]

@thresiawilliams I was able to convert this video for the lefty. There is a link to the left hand version in this video.

[princess0553]

Thank-you; this tutorial has me crocheting christmas stockings. You are a pro! princess0553

[tjw1963]

I appreciate the comment.

[princess0553]

tjw, I'm making the christmas wreath from your page and I ran out of metal rings for the wreath. Can you recommend a sight where I can buy 6" inch rings. Thanks

[11vetttro]

crochet snowman will be nice

[1dragon2hot]

Too cute!

[puppycute123]

You don't seem very happy. common its christmas

[tjw1963]

I am not sure what you are talking about? This video was made 5 months ago.

[clint4Now]

Do you know how I would Stitch in someone's name? Like "Cain"?

[tjw1963]

You can embroider the name with the back stitch or chain stitch.

[clint4Now]

Yeah, that'll work. Thanks

[clint4Now]

Thank you for the video. It helped a lot.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[marushlove]

So cute i love chochet !!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you.

[theangelssing]

I'm planning on having a fund raising for the support of alzhiemers the colors are purple and white do you have any suggestions on what I can make that is useful for the buyers? Your response is greatly appreciated

[tjw1963]

I have found that small items, less than $5.00 sell well at fundraisers. I have three tutorials for snowflakes and should have a 4th by the end of the week. They will probably sell well. There are a couple of crochet butterflies that you may want to look at. You can glue magnets to the back of them and use them as a refrigerator magnet.

[theangelssing]

Do you know how to make and oldfashioned Christmas tree topper such as an angel or a star? I wounder if you know how to crochet the nativity set how would you make it stiff and if you use starch what kind would you use ?

[tjw1963]

I am going to have a tutorial on stiffening done in the next few days.

[twitcher01]

You crochet to the left, does it matter if instead of going to the left as you work, you go to the right?

[tjw1963]

I crochet to the left because I am right handed. Left handed people will crochet to the right.

[kpstar5]

very cute and like what the person below my comment said it is a good begining project.

[tjw1963]

Thank you.

[codegirl81]

i actually found this a really great beginners project.. and was amazed at how great it turned out :-) thank you!!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[butterfly082402]

I love this pattern and thanks for putting this tutorial here. I have a ? are you skipping a SC anytime thru out this tutorial? Does OVER mean skipping one SC and doing the other and skipping the other and so on? Thanks again!

[tjw1963]

Thank you. "Over" means "in" each stitch, with my thought process at that point in the video. After the 8 SC, there are 7 that are skipped to form the toe. The instructions are posted on my crochet blog if there is ever any confusion.

[catycatcat4]

Cute if i can get it good enouth i might do this when we make crafts for madrigal

but im new to crochet what is joining?

[tjw1963]

You join the stitch you are finishing with the beginning stitch. You are creating an opening to make the stocking.

[maria81379]

very cute..i like it. Thanks for posting it

[tjw1963]

Thank you. :)

[Mariannalice]

might make some quick cute socks for babies too :)lol thanks for the how to its perfect

[tjw1963]

I had thought that before I put the cuff on. I rolled the stocking down and it was really cute.

[xxsweetxbabexx]

Hi, quick question, on my crochet hooks they are marked in numbers and not letters, I have 12 hooks starting from 2mm to 10mm how will I know which hook to use to do the same as you?

[tjw1963]

I have a crochet hook conversion chart on my crochet blog that will tell you what numbers are the same as what letters.

[xxsweetxbabexx]

That is so cute!!!! I love that!

[lollyone78]

if i was to make a bigger stocking do i just increase the chain to make it bigger

[tjw1963]

It would be the same general idea. You would need to revise the calf size as it goes up.

[lollyone78]

this is gr8 will you be doing any more xmas crochet

[lollyone62]

hi when you have done 11sc on 1st side do u turn it round

[tjw1963]

In a way it is being turned around but not like a typical row. You will be working an additional 11 SC down the opposite side of the chain. You are creating an opening so little goodies can be hidden in it.

[calcrules]

Just as a constructive suggestion, you should show a picture of the finished product at the beinning of the video. This project looks REALLY neat!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tjw1963]

Thank you for the suggestion, I will keep that in mind. I do have an image of the finished piece on my crochet blog.

[mikolover1000]

Wow!Please inform me more videos and cool stuff to make!!!

[briwanna33]
