Merry Christmas in July! Christmas and winter projects are my favorite so don’t be surprised if I use the months from now until December to post many more! This Snowman Stocking is continuation of my snowman series that all started with the snowman sack and then turned into a snowman hat and now a christmas stocking! It cinches at the top to look like a beanie! This is the same technique I used in my snowman sack (SEE IT HERE). Change the colors of the beanie to make a set of stocking for the whole family!
The other fun part of this stocking is that is worked in one piece! No need to fasten off and re- join your yarn or sew parts together when you get to the heel. Truly one of the easiest crochet christmas stocking patterns you will find!
Materials:
Bernat Super Value Yarn in White, Lush (green), Carrot (orange), Cherry Red, and a bit of Black. Shop Bernat Super Value Yarn on Yarnspirations.com!
Size H Crochet Hook
Two 1/2 inch black buttons
Tapestry needle
Abbreviations:
HDC = Half Double Crochet

Stocking Pattern:
with white yarn
Magic ring, chain 2 and make 15 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, chain 2 (note: feel free to chain 1 or 2 after each join. My stitches are loose so I decided to go with the chain 2)
Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (30 HDC)
Round 3-11: HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (30 HDC)
Round 12: HDC in first, 2 DC in next 10, HDC in remaining 19 stitches, join, chain 2
Round 13-14: HDC in first, DC in next 20 stitches, HDC in remaining stitches, join, chain 2
Round 15: HDC in first, make 10 DC Decrease over the next 20 stitches, HDC in remaining stitches, join, chain 2
Round 16-26: HDC in each stitch around, join, chain2 (30 HDC)
(note: feel free to continue rows of HDC for a stocking without the beanie. 8-10 more rows will make a nice size stocking!)
(second note: at this point you may also want to sew on the button eyes, nose, and stitch on a mouth)
switch to green yarn
Round 27: HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (30 HDC)
Round 28-29: FPHDC in first, BPHDC in next, repeat all the way around to make ridge of beanie.
Round 30-36: HDC in each stitch around
Fasten off and weave in ends.
With green, chain 45, Slip stitch in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down. Fasten off leaving a bit of tail.
Weave strip in and out of the last row of HDC in your snowman hat.
On of the ends, sew end to the about the 10th stitch from end to make a loop that will hang from your fireplace.
One the other end, make a yarn pomp pom and sew it onto the end.
Cinch top closed and let the pompom sit on top. Or leave it open! Use loop to hang stocking.
Snowman Nose Pattern:
Chain 6, Sl St in second chain from hook, SC, HDC, DC, DC, continue to sc around the back and bottom of the triangle, when you get to the tip, chain 2, slip stitch in second chain from hook and slip stitch to your first SC.
Scarf Pattern:
Chain 63, DC in 4th chain from hook and the rest of the way down the chain. Fasten of and weave in ends. Just like you would make a braided tail on a crochet hat, take 4 strands of yarn about 6 inches long and fold them in half. Loop them through (or knot) through the last DC stitch on one of the ends. Do the same for the other end!
Tie scarf midway around stocking (above the heel).

This is so adorable and I can’t wait to make this! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks about Christmas in the summer. What are the dimensions of this little guy? Thanks for the pattern!
I like to make fairly large stockings for my grandkids so I too would like to know the dimensions of this snowman Christmas Stocking.
Can you email me the dimensions?
Thank You,
Pat
So funny to see your Christmas stocking in July. I love this design. Now we have time to crochet these for the whole family . Thank you.
Have a pleasant day, Margaret
Hello Sarah 🙂
I’m not sure what this means…
“On of the ends, sew end to the about the 10th stitch from end to make a loop that will hang from your fireplace.
One the other end, make a yarn pomp pom and sew it onto the end.”
Can you clarify it for me please and thank you 🙂
P.s. I love all your patterns thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent <3
I made this stocking for our girl, canine, Noni. So easy and cute. Didn’t have time for face so made a bow”
How big was the finished stocking?
This pattern has no gauge or finished dimensions. How big is this stocking supposed to be? I am getting a very very small one, even with upping the hook size and increasing the starting number of stitches.
Hi Sarah, using the same material that you describe in your pattern, what would the finished size of this stocking be? It is adorable!
TIA
I’m a little confused on the instructions for the loop/cinch section.
“On of the ends, sew end to the about the 10th stitch from end to make a loop that will hang from your fireplace.
One the other end, make a yarn pomp pom and sew it onto the end.
Cinch top closed and let the pompom sit on top. Or leave it open! Use loop to hang stocking.”
Stitch it back onto itself about 10 sts from the end? So then the pom pom on the other end is kind of dangling loose? Or is it stitched to the stocking itself? I’m confused….
I’ve made two stockings so far, and can’t seem to get it right. When I make the loop on the end, as directed, I then have this long “rope” with a loop on one end, dangling about 6 or 7 inches off the stocking. Is this correct??? My second one, I made the cinch “rope” just a little shorter, connected the ends together, and sewed the pom pom to the top edge on the front of the stocking. Then I attached a separate loop at the back of the stocking, just below the top edge. Neither lets it hang very nicely. Can you suggest a better way?
Glad to see I’m not the only one not understanding the instructions for the loop/pom pom!
Had fun making this! Quick project, too. There are some type-o’s in the last set of directions for the top of the stocking that you may want to clean up.
