The Free Kieran Stocking Crochet Pattern – It’s Festive!

Hi everyone! How’s your pie season going? When it’s about this time of year, all I want to do is bake and eat pie… it’s my favorite dessert. There’s just something about when the temps start to get low that flaky crust and hot fruit just sound good. It’s basically a tradition with me. Speaking of traditions… I also have another I’m celebrating this year, the annual Christmas Stocking. And this years? It’s a cutie, so say hello to the Kieran Stocking crochet pattern.

Like pumpkins, I have been adding Christmas stockings to my list of annual tradition makes. Last year was the Alix Stocking from my Alix line, the year before was the Kelsey Stocking from the Kelsey line. I’m sure you get what I’m talking about. And I wasn’t about to break the tradition only 4 years in, so I set about making a new stocking. And to be honest with you, it was a no brainer on what was going to be the new design, I’ve been really feeling the Kieran line this year and with the response the Kieran Basket I knew that was going to be the inspiration for this year’s stocking.

The reason I choose the Kieran line for this is because of the way the dc/sc combo really undulates through the pattern and the back third loop hdc just really breaks up the sections with a pop. The hardest choice I had to make with this pattern was if I wanted to do the toe, the heel, and the cuff in a contrasting color. For a little while there I was thinking of doing the whole pattern in the Beige Heather color of Basic Stitch. It’s such a soft but not boring neutral, the stocking would have looked gorgeous in just all that. But you know me, I love to add color and contrast whenever possible. Honestly, you’re lucky I didn’t add fringe to this somewhere. Wait, that gives me an idea for next year’s design.

Any way I’ve chatted your ear off about this design long enough. I really hope you like it and try it out. It’s a really easy mostly in the round design, worked from the toe up. I bet it’ll look great in one or a variety of colors. Ooh, a variegated yarn would be so fun! I really hope you also tag me in your photos on social media if you take any. I love to see them.

And don’t forget to be kind to yourself and others, wash and wear your masks, and stop to look at plants as often as possible. Have a happy final weeks of November.

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of designing the Kieran Stocking crochet pattern, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I really like this yarn. I used it often for a variety of designs, it’s one of my favorite worsted weight yarns.

Where to purchase the Kieran Stocking crochet pattern

Gauge

• 16 sc/dc x 12 rows = 4”

Terms/ Stitches used

• St: Stitch
• Ch: Chain
• Rnd: Round
• Magic Circle
• RS: Right side
• Sc: Single crochet
• Sc2tog: Sc 2 sts together
• Hdc: Half double crochet
• Join: Join the round with a slip st
• BTLO: Back third loop only (explained below)
• Fsc: Forward crab stitch (explained below)

Notes

• For gauge: Chain an even amount of chs that will give you an over 4” swatch (your row st count needs to be odd), sc into the 2nd ch from the hook, *dc into the next st, sc into the next st,* repeat from * to * across. Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc into the first sc, *dc into the next dc, sc into the next sc,* repeat from * to * across. Repeat row 2 as many times as you need to get more than 4” swatch then measure a blocked section.
• Back third loop only (BTLO): When looking at the stitch you will have the 2 loops on top of the hdc (the V on top), lean the stitch towards you and will see the third loop that runs along the back of the stitch. This is the loop you will work into. This stitch is also known as the Camel Stitch. Please note that when you work this stitch you will be looking at the back of the previous row’s hdc, so the third loop will be facing you.
• Forward crab stitch (Fcs): Insert your hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, turn your hook clockwise once so you twist the stitch, yarn over, pull through the 2 loops on your hook. Also called a Twisted Single Crochet. This stitch is like a crab stitch, only you work it forward.
• This pattern is mostly worked in the round (Rnd) with a slip st into the first st of the rnd.
• The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
• This stocking is worked from the Toe up in sections (but still one piece): first the Toe, the Arch, the Heel (which is not worked in the rnd), the Ankle, and the Cuff. 
• The colors in the photos: color A is dark pink (Basic Stitch in Decor Rose) and color B is off white (Basic Stitch in Beige Heather).
