Christmas in July Free Bonus Pattern - 

Big Christmas Stocking

 Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

of Posh Pooch Designs

You will find this Stocking Pattern 

to be very, very easy to stitch up, As well as, quick to make. 

And This big Stocking can hold lots of Holiday Goodies.

Look how the Color pooled on this one.

It os Raspberry stripe Bernat Blanket yarn.

The Original Pattern was stitched using 2 strands

 of Worsted Weight (4) yarns.
I have Updated the pattern to be worked up using
 Bernate Blanket yarns.

This makes the stocking even longer!

And OH SO Soft and Squishy!
And Sturdy, too.

You use a N/ 10.00mm Crochet hook in place of the K hook.
But Work the Crochet Pattern exactly the same.
