PATTERN: Easy puffy pine tree crochet Christmas Stocking Crochet pattern
Notes:
- Worked in the round (mark the first stitch of each round)
- 1st stitch of each round is made in marked stitch.
- Color changes: finish out the last stitch with the new color.
Toe:
Magic circle With CC1 (taupe or preferred color) – or ch 2 and work into 1st chain.
Rnd 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), make 8 hdc in magic ring, join with sl st in first stitch. (8)
Rnd 2: (Begin working in the round – Mark first stitch of each round) 2 hdc in each st around. (16)
For the following rounds, you’re working in the round and the first stitch is made in marked stitch at the beginning of each round.
Rnd 3: Hdc, 2 hdc in next st, repeat around. (24)
Rnd 4: Hdc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 hdc in the next st, repeat around. (32)
Rnd 5: Hdc in each of the next 3 sts, 2 hdc in the next st, repeat around. (40)
Rnd 6: Hdc in each of the next 4 sts, 2 hdc in next st repeat 7 times (42 sts), then [hdc in next 5 sts, 2 hdc in next st] × 2. Close out last stitch with MC. (50)
Middle Section of Foot:
Remember to mark the first stitch of each round, and the first stitch is always made in marked stitch. Stitch count is 50 throughout.
Rounds 7- 21 (MC): Hdc in each stitch around. Sl st in marked stitch. Cut, tie off, weave in tail. (50)
Heel:
Using CC1, count 4 stitches back from the join, insert your hook and join the yarn. Count 25 stitches, including the one your hook is in to the left and place of stitch marker.
Row 1: Ch 1, hdc in the same as join. Hdc in next 24 sts, turn. (25)
Rows 2–5: Ch 1, turn, hdc in each st across. (25)
These rows form the straight part of the heel.
Row 6 – Begin shaping the curve: Ch 1, turn. Hdc in each of the next 8 sts, hdc2tog × 4, hdc in next 9 sts. (21)
This starts to pinch the center slightly to create the heel cup.
Row 7 – Tighten the curve: Ch 1, turn. Hdc in each of the next 7 sts, hdc2tog × 3, hdc in next 8 sts. (18)
Row 8 – Final shaping: Ch 1, turn. Hdc in next 5 sts, hdc2tog x4, hdc in each of the next 5 sts. (14)
Close the Heel:
Fold the heel in half (right sides together).
Slip stitch through both layers to close the heel. Leave a long tail, cut the yarn, and use a running or mattress stitch to reinforce the seam – or slip stitch down to the base if preferred..
Transition Back to Body (Round 1 of Leg)
With the heel seamed, turn your work so the seam is centered at the back.
Rejoin MC at the corner of the heel seam and work 50 hdc evenly around the opening as follows.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, hdc in the same as join. Hdc in the remaining 21 heel stitches, continue around working 28 stitches for a total of 50 stitches around.
Rnds 2 – 6: Continue working in the round and remember to mark the beginning of each round. (50)
Begin working the chart in Overlay Mosaic:
Just like regular mosaic, you’re going to bring up colors as needed. Just let the unused color drop at the beginning of each round. There is no beginning or ending border stitch since we are working in the round. 50 stitches total – chart is 10 stitches wide – work the chart 5 times.

What is Overlay Mosaic Crochet?: Short Tutorial
Overlay mosaic crochet is a specific type of mosaic crochet where you work with two contrasting colors, but only one color per row. The magic happens by using a combination of single crochet (BLOsc) and front loop only dc (FLOdc) stitches to create the design. The FLOdc stitches are worked two rows below your current row, allowing the contrasting color from previous rows to peek through, creating the mosaic effect.

Using Faux Fur, hdc in each stitch around. I worked 3 rounds for the brim, but you can add more for a fluffier look.
To create the loop for hanging the stocking.
Once you finish the last stitch, pull up a long loop on your hook, cut the yarn from the ball, and weave in securely to form the hanging loop.
