I have used this video for years. Every new baby that comes along gets a new stocking thanks to this tutorial. I am a visual learner and hate written patterns.

Another year and another refresher on this wonderful Christmas stocking! I have 7 kids, along with their spouses/partners and 13 grandchildren (and more coming) that I’ve made stockings for now… using this pattern… and customizing them with their names, different colors/appliques/beads/etc.. And I’ve also made some for the “steps” (kids/grandkids), nieces and nephews and working on more for more family members and friends. And yes… I do have the pattern very well memorized now, but it’s like a tradition now (like watching the Wizard of Oz around this time of year), so right after Thanksgiving, I make a date with Mikey on here and make a few more. And on this note, thank you SO much, my Friend, for making and sharing this tutorial with us! It truly is a favorite!! 👍🏼💜🥰👍🏼

I used to do a lot of crochet. After a couple of bad experiences, I stopped doing it and my yarn collected a bunch of dust. After seeing some of the afghans and these stockings, I'm more than excited to have four afghans and seven stockings in the works for the family for Christmas. Thank you for re-igniting my passion for this and helping me to remember how much fun it is to work with yarn! Huggles!

Just finished this for granddaughter's first Christmas in red and white. Ty, love it. X

Thank you so much! I was so confused and my heel was looking funky. I totally got it now!

Love that, a crocheted heel turn. 🧦

this was so easy, made in less than a day, and turned out perfect, thank you for this tutorial

I am so excited! I actually understand your tutorials!

You are the best. I love all your tutorials

This pattern is great - I've done at least 6 for relatives. Thank you for tutorial. XO

I used your method to make a crotched version of the 1950 Jumbo Christmas Stocking by Bernat. I made this for my Son-in-law and one ready for my August 2020, my first grandchild ( so excited)!!!! Wish I could post a photo of it on here for you! Micky, thank you so much, and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Out of all the Christmas stocking tutorials, this one was the best that I've seen.

I love this tutorial! It made it so easy for me to make stockings! I look forward to making more things from this channel's repertoire

I made one last year and I love it and I made two of them and the first one was okay then the second one was a whole lot better

I Just saw this tutorial 😱!!! Love it!!😍

Lordy, I wrestled with the written pattern, starting my heel in the middle. Thank God for tutorials!

Hi! Really like the way you give instructions, thanks :)

Wow that was gorgeous!!!!. Thank you so much for sharing and your time

I'm just learning how to crochet, thanks partly to Mikey, and just finished my first stocking. I made traditional red & white but added a snowflake motif. It came out nice! Tutoral is easy to follow. Starting my second one. Thanks Mikey and The Crochet Crowd!!

Been trying to figure this heel out for days!! Thank you so much Mikey!!!!!!

Thank do much mikey I love this pattern 😍

Als0 never w0rkd n the 'Hump' awes0me 🤗 gr8 tip ty

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm very much a beginner, but I wanted to make my son a stocking....and the heel in the written instructions totally stumped me. Until you explained it that is! Such a great resource for beginners! :)

I've tried several videos both stockings and socks. This one is by far the easiest to follow along with and the prettiest stocking I've seen! Love it and everyone is getting handmade stockings for Christmas this year.

Thanks!

Thank you for your video. I am new at crochet (3 months now) and was able to follow. It did take about 4 hours to complete though. Very pretty and worth the effort.

Awesome.....love it.....made 2 for my daughters, thank you!

I used the suzette stitch and it turned out amazingly. Thank you for the pattern

Thanks for such good work.

Oh wow!! Just Love it! Can't wait to see what you make next!

Hi Mikey, I'm loving your crochet section from your channel! You make all of your tutorials super easy to understand and follow, plus you're fun to watch. Ty for your work, keep it up hun 🌹

Mikey do u still need to do the chain 2 for the stocking tutorial when u continue on after the 1st r ound of hdc

I love love love your tutorials!! this is awesome! :)

Great video

Yeaaaa!! this was so fun thank you for the Video ❤❤

I followed this and mine turned out great. I'm fairly new to crochet so this was my first stocking. I did mine in double crochet stitches so on the bottom foot part I m only did 8 rows instead 10. turned out great. Thanks

Happy new year 💓🎊

Thank you so much.. I'm just learning how to crochet but I followed your instructions easily ..My grandchildren will be so happy with these stockings 👍👍

i need the heel part to the first stocking you did on a loom

Thank you so much for making this tutorial!

Is the first stitch the same one (6:20ish) that you did the joining on. Are you chaining up and then working your first single/half double crochet into that same chain?

Making this in team colors!

do you think you could do the red heart crochet cable stocking I just started it but the rc lc stuff is so confusing .

One of the best stockings, made them for my 3 grandkids with their initials, just making another for our new addition ...

Thank you so much!! wonderful easy to follow video

Has anyone tried working in the round vs having to whip stitch it at the end? I’ve followed this and do love the pattern but think it may be nearer looking to just work in the round

Love the vid, very easy to understand, thank you

Wow I think I can make one a last. Thank so much‼️

Mikey, I love these so much! I made 3 last year and now this year my goal is 7 more to hand out as gifts! I love watching your tutorials

I had no problem at all with your tutorial and my stocking is coming out better than I'd hoped!! I'm going to make many more! Thanks Mikey!!

Would someone please explain the scallop on the cuff? I can’t tell from the video if the dc are in the same stitch or if he is double crocheting and chaining in one stitch and then going into the next stitch and dc. I can’t make it out in the video and he doesn’t say.

mikey do you still have the loom knitted stocking the first one

I have to admit, although this video is an older one, it's still my go to every time I need a reminder on making the stocking. Thanks for making it!

I have seen in other sock tutorials Where they made a spiral of the hill in the toe area is it possible that you could help me figure that out? I would love to have that on my Christmas stocking. Thank you!

So, do you decrease on each end of the row on the toe? Im ending up with more rows then mikey on the toe? Can anyone help me with this? Tyvm

Mikey, your videos are great! I made four of these stockings for my son and his family, and my daughter-in-law said they were the best Christmas presents EVER! I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for all that you do. As a former knitter, you have taught me how to crochet, improve my skills, and to make things that I never would have thought I would be able to do. Thank you for sharing your love of crochet. Keep up the great work.

It is so sad because this amazing yarn, Red Heart Boutique Midnight yarn has been discontinued. Can you recommend a yarn that has the same effect of the "chain" within the yarn as this one does? I wasn't sure with me being in the States maybe they had something in Canada that came close to this type of yarn. Plus the variegated or self-striping one, Aura, is stunning!!!!! I just love this yarn, :-(

I love seeing men crochet and what’s more is I love seeing men upload crochet videos

Random question....how would I go about doubling the size of the pattern? Made these for my parents but they want ones a little bigger

Brilliant tutorial, thank you!

thank you for this very clear easy to follow demonstration. I am 55 years old and trying for the first time in my life to crochet. I regret waiting so long.

Love it!!

I was wondering. When you are whip stitching, are the right sides together or the wrong sides together?

I'm so confused. For the heel you went from only decreasing at the end and then the video says you decrease in the beginning and the end. What's going on?

love love love love great thank you nice great job well done

i made 3 of these stockings ty so much..your awesome

Any chance you can do the red heart letters???

after the heel is the rrest soppose to be 10 inches?

I cannot find the yarn Mikey is using in this video can anyone help, thank you!!

I used a 5.5 hook. Is this going to mess it up? Should I make the stocking 12in instead of 10? Please help I’m a beginner.

Wow what a lovely stocking .and nicely done xxx

great tutorial thank you so much! one new sub right here :)

I cannot find the yarn Michael is using - if anyone knows where I can order the colors he is using please let me know, thank you!!

I want to make this stocking larger so I have an opening o 8 inches across. If I use 63 stitches across what do I need to do different on the heel and toe to make it turn out right?

How can I make a little bit larger stocking in width?

You are incredible. I am learning at an older age and I am pretty successful. A re you starting the 3rd row at 21:40 and also 22:00?

Is there a way to alter this pattern to make adult socks?

Mikey could you by any chance next year do a crochet Christmas dress for adults please, I've looked on you tube no one has done one yet and I'm not that clever. I live in the uk and they cost like £16.00 in the shops and they aren't that nice, I was looking for a Santa dress and an elf dress too many thanks, will ask you on Facebook as well.

Bellissimo,mi piace molto grazie

Just finished my stocking. I did not put the edging on. Instead if you crochet the single crochet on top and crochet from the inside through the color on the top will not show through, at least it did not on mine.

Hi I want to make these stockings. How much yarn do i meed in each colour please? Are they all 5mm? Thanks so much for providing the pattern and video

Does it matter what weight yarn you use?

I love the pattern especially the tutorial but you could have done less stitching and worked by slip stitch to the first chain when you did the 43 chains. I did three stockings and realized it too late. And the tutorial is better than the written instructions. Thank you.

What is a suitable substitute yarn?

Hi Mikey, thank you for doing this tutorial! Can you please share the names of the shades of the yarn you used ? It looks fabulous!

Hiya Mikey, thanks for all your brilliant patterns and video tutorials. I'm not sure if anybody else has mentioned it but the crochet crowd website seems to have an overlay over the main page (which is like a mirror of the home page) and cannot be closed. Its blocks the main page and you can only see a few lines of the pattern at a time because of this overlay. Is there a way of closing this? Many thanks and regards, Martyn

This Is the best Christmas stocking tutorial I've found on RU-vid! Mikey, I'd love to see in the info box the hook number and type of yarn you used in your project. I always forget to make a note of the name of the yarn you're using.

Thank You very much!

i havent started this pattern yet cuz im trying to find a ruler but cant find one and im not sure how long 10' are. could compare it to like a book

I’m wondering if I have to release tension bc it’s slop siding on the sides of the heel :/ like it’s going diagonal rather than straight

I love watching your tutorials Mikey, but on this one I was confused about the amount of decreasing on the toe and have had to unravel this toe shape several times, firstly the toe looked too small, then too big, how many rows did you do to complete the toe?

Great job!👌👌

at 20.48 you start a row without a decrease and say that you decrease at the end of the row, though on your next cut, you are decreasing at the beginning and end of each row? is that a boo boo?

On toe area you said dec at beg and end first row then after that you only dec at end...but on the second side you dec every row beg and end. How will that be in balance ???

Mikey, I love this pattern and have made 2 stockings so far. However, I made them out of plain jane yarn and now want to add some sparkle! Can you tell me what colors of Red Heart Boutique Midnight yarn you used, please? I've been looking online, but am having trouble finding something in that product line that looks like what you're using. I too am a Father Christmas person and it's not easy finding a sparkly deep red or a blue that's just right.

I’ve noticed that the video on the toe and the written pattern are different. It starts out the toe being the end of each row then jumps to it being both beginning and end after 3? Rows. Which is it?

Mikey i am dying here without the loom knit video #7 for stockings. No other video is a easy to follow and I don't mind stitching up the little holes. Please please please repost it ... I'm lame and watched it for every stocking I made to insure I wouldn't mess up and now that it is gone.... I cannot make a heel on a loom to save my life :(

Do you end up using a full ball

I'm a victorian Christmas (Dark green Dark red or cranberry and Ecru) I love this and hope that I can do this I know this was done before the Caron Cakes, but do you know if they might have or come out with a Christmas color that we could use on this? Thank you
