STASH SLASHER STOCKING GARLAND (countdown)
MATERIALS:
Worsted weight
yarn about ½ ounce per stocking
US size I (5.5 mm)
crochet hook
Marker (I use a
bobby pin)
Tapestry needle
Ribbon for hanging
about 10 inches for each stocking
Purchased holly
garland for hanging stockings
Card stock for
numbers (optional)
NOTES:
1. Read
instructions through before beginning.
2. These
stockings are nearly the same as my stocking ornaments, but crocheted in
continuous rounds.
3. I used
the garland that has chained links.
4. Instead
of buying holly garland you can crochet a strip as I did in my other garland
patterns. But since you saved money by
using stash yarn splurge on the garland.
5. A tug
on the heel will give the stocking a better shape.
6. If you
are going to use the garland as a Christmas Countdown you may like to print out
the numbers 1-24 on card stock.

Thanks for posting this pattern. I am a beginner and this is very easy to follow. But I was wondering about what appears to be missing rows (8 & 9) after the "heel"
I absolutely love this. I'm not the world's best creator, however, so I'm passing this onto my mom to attempt. Can't wait to hang one on my wall and she'll get one done in no time. Thanks for this, sooooo cute :)
