These charming Christmas stockings, crocheted in Tunisian Smocked Stitch, are as thick and sturdy as they are elegant. Worked in two pieces and then single-crocheted together, they are amply designed to hold all of Santa’s treasures. Personalize these lovely decorations by embroidering names across the top “cuff.” (Instructions for embroidery not included.)
 
The increases and decreases for shaping the toes and heels are somewhat complicated, and we strongly suggest you watch Wylde & Plumb’s youtube video:
