Free Alix Stocking Crochet Pattern – Be Festive and Bright

Wow! Will you look at that, it’s the last month of 2021. Are you ready for this year to be over with or are you still trying to get every last minute out of it? I’m kinda in both places, I’ve lots I still want to do but I’m also excited to see what 2022 will bring us. Before I start to look to the new year, I still have a whole month of patterns to release, including this week’s Alix Stocking crochet pattern.

For the last few years I’ve been trying and release at least one stocking pattern (see the last 2 year’s here) and like I often do, I like to traipse beyond the classic stocking designs with texture or colors (sometimes both!). And the Alix Stocking crochet pattern isn’t any different. This design incorporates the hdc texture from the Alix Line while still making a fun and simple stocking pattern that works from the toe up in rounds.

This is a really simple pattern, it really would take just a couple days to complete if you want to make sure to take breaks to work on other patterns. Just make sure you read all the instructions, especially when you get to the Heel portion. You don’t need to turn there and if you do you will end up with your stocking facing the wrong direction… which is fine if you want that. But I just wanted to make note of it so people didn’t feel like they did the pattern incorrectly.

Now this pattern is also a great stash buster. I did it in 2 colors (both Pound of Love from Lion Brand Yarn) but you could do each section a different color or even use a striping yarn. Ooh, you could also use a bulky yarn that’s nice at stiff to make this a big old stocking! It’s totally up to you how you’d like this to turn out. You can have fun and make some wild color combinations (which I would like to see by the way, please tag me in photos if you post them).

Overall, I hope you like this pattern. I’m usually a Grinch during the holidays but I haven’t had to work retail in a year (got fired last year) so I’m coming around to being festive. This design is definitely helping, even if it’s not very traditional. Who needs traditional anyway? It’s all about what makes you feel good.

Always to be kind to each other, wash your masks, and stay safe friends <3 <3 Please remember to subscribe and share your photos on social media so I can see them!

Please note: I was provided Pound of Love by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of designing the Alix Stocking crochet pattern, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I honestly can say I do enjoy this yarn, I used it to make last month’s Bridget Bobble Blanket. If you purchase yarn through any of the links in this post, I will be compensated.

Where to purchase the Alix Stocking crochet pattern

Level

Easy

Materials

• US H (5.00 mm) crochet hook
• Size #4 worsted weight yarn
  • I used Pound of Love by Lion Brand Yarn in 2 colors (specific names in the Notes section)
  • A (darker purple): 2 oz / 128 yds
  • B (lighter purple): 1 oz/ 64 yds
• Notions: scissors, measuring tape, yarn needle

Gauge

• 13 hdc x 9 rows = 4”

Terms/ Stitches used

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

Notes

• 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.
• 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 purple (Pound of Love in Thistle) and color B is light purple (Pound of Love in Quartz).
