The waffle stitch gives this stocking its signature thick, cushioned texture, making it both eye-catching and practical. Worked with Aran (weight 4) yarn in two contrasting colors, the stitch pattern creates a bold, festive look that feels timeless while still being fun to crochet. The finished stocking is a full-sized stocking that’s perfect for hanging over the fireplace and filling with holiday treats.
This pattern is designed with ease in mind and is suitable for easy skill levels, with only minimal sewing required. Using a 5mm crochet hook, you’ll work through clear, straightforward instructions that guide you step by step.
Optional stitch markers can help keep everything neat, and a pom pom adds a playful finishing touch to complete the classic Christmas look.
Whether you’re making this stocking for your own home or as a heartfelt handmade gift, it’s a satisfying project that blends tradition, texture, and festive spirit. Choose classic red and white or customize the colors to match your holiday theme. Either way, this waffle stitch stocking is sure to become a cherished part of your Christmas celebrations.
