Worked with worsted-weight yarn, this pattern uses just two contrasting colors to achieve its striking mosaic look. The overlay mosaic crochet technique gives the appearance of intricate colorwork.
Without the tangle of multiple yarns or endless ends to weave in. Choose durable acrylic yarn for easy care or wool yarn for a classic heirloom texture.
Either way, your finished stocking will have a beautiful, festive flair.
The pattern includes step-by-step written instructions, detailed mosaic charts, and a helpful video tutorial so you can follow along with confidence, even if it’s your first mosaic crochet project. With clear guidance and simple stitches, this design is perfect for confident beginners or intermediate crocheters ready to explore something new.
Allow a few relaxing evenings to complete the smaller size, and personalize your stocking by adding a pom-pom, tassel, or leather tag on the cuff for a handmade touch. The Nordic Star Stocking is more than just a decoration. It’s a heartfelt project that brings warmth, tradition, and creativity to your holiday season.
