ByJennifer Renaud

Tis the season to be jolly and crochet all things Christmas for all of the people we love. I absolutely LOVE this time of year and being able to crochet handmade gifts for family and friends. The only thing I love more is being able to enjoy our craft with a group of like minded crocheters. This is where YOU come in! Come join us for the 2019 Christmas Stocking Crochet Along where we’ll enjoy fabulous friends, fun, and prizes!

While I was sketching and planning a new Christmas stocking design I realized that I couldn’t choose just one design for this year’s Christmas stocking crochet along. So, this year I’m releasing FIVE new crochet Christmas stocking designs! You can choose to make just one, or you can choose to make 2, 3, 4 or 5. It’s totally up to you!

 

 

Join us for the 2019 Christmas Stocking Crochet Along! This is a free event for all with weekly prizes. We hope you'll join us!

 

 

Do you love the social aspect of a crochet along? Do you love to crochet all of the holiday items you can? If you answered “yes” to either of these, then this crochet along is for you! What are you waiting for? Read the CAL details below and then join us in the A Crocheted Simplicity Crochet Community group on Facebook or the Ravelry group, for some CAL F-U-N! 

Not so sure you’d like to join the CAL? Let me try to twist your arm… keep reading below….

 

First, a little info about the designs!

If you love holiday themed crochet, if you making stockings for your loved ones, if you love having options, then you’ll LOVE this crochet along!

It’s been a year since my last crochet stocking design and I wanted to design another one, but ended up designing 5! With each new stocking design I try to incorporate a new element. For these stocking designs I played around with plaid colorwork using textured crochet stitch patterns, working with faux fur yarn to make cuffs, poms and even an entire stocking, a nicely textured, classic looking stitch pattern, and a fun technique I’ve used on a few other designs this year.

Now, you may be intimidated by one or more of these designs, but the best part of a crochet along is that all hands are on deck to help! 

Yarns: All stockings were designed using worsted weight yarns and/or a super bulky faux fur yarn. Please see individual stocking patterns for specific yarns and yardage.

How big are the stockings? Please see individual stocking patterns for sizes. They are similar in size, but do vary slightly.

Tutorials: The patterns include photo tutorials & charts as needed, but if you still need a little help, the best part of a CAL is the extra access you have to myself and many other talented crocheters who are all working on the same project at the same time!

 

 

Why should I join the Crochet Along?

  • Crochet alongs bring a great sense of community to our craft.
  • A CAL is the perfect opportunity to meet new friends who share your same passions. 
  • They’re also great opportunities to share your talents with others by helping those in the group who are eager to learn new skills, but may need a little help along the way.
  • You’ll receive exclusive help from myself as I’ll be there daily to answer any of your questions, should you have any.

    Reply

  118. I love your new patterns. I’ve narrowed it down to Diamonds & Fur or Classic Textures. It’s hard to choose. The last knitted stocking I made was 40 years ago.

    Reply

  123. Love them all! I’ve narrowed it down to either the classic textures or the diamond and fur. But in the end it will be whichever one my daughter likes the most.

    Reply

  149. I’ve never made a stocking before, but I’m excited to try! The traditional textures and the Christmas tree ones look super cute!

    Reply

  150. I was at first attracted to the all faux fur stocking because I recently bought some faux fur yarn and although I bought it for pom poms was excited by the possibility of making it into a full project! But then the plaid definitely caught my eye! I’ll have to think about this one…all depends on what yardage I have in my stash.

    Reply

  151. I want to make the diamonds and fur stocking but because of funds and such I will probably pull from my stash and make the Christmas Tree one. Wondering how it will look in other colors.

    Reply

  152. I won love to win yarn for any of them . never made a stocking , lovely to choose from. I like texture, so classic texture pattern, a great start! I have three grandsons, granddaughter due Christmas! All are blessings. This Granny needs to get on it! Thanks for this CAL., giveaway!
