A handmade stocking on the mantel is one of the coziest parts of Christmas. This modern mosaic crochet Christmas stocking is covered in cream and camel diamonds, with a ribbed cream cuff that folds over the top and two pom-poms threaded with wooden beads. It is about 16 in long and 6 in wide (41 × 15 cm), ready to hang and fill.

It is made with mosaic crochet, so you only work with one color per round: no carrying two yarns across a round, no tangles. The full Christmas stocking crochet pattern is a printable PDF in my Etsy shop.

Why You Will Love This Crochet Christmas Stocking

  • Colorwork made simple. Mosaic crochet uses one color per round, and the diamonds appear as the rounds stack up.
  • A warm, neutral look. Cream and camel suit any Christmas decor, from rustic to modern.
  • Worked from the toe up. The stocking is crocheted in the round, so there is no side seam to sew.
  • Finished with pom-poms and wooden beads. Plus a hanging loop, and room for a name tag if you like.

What You Need

  • Worsted weight wool in two colors: 2 balls (50 g / 110 yd each) of cream and 1 ball of camel
  • A 5 mm (US H/8) crochet hook (my hook sizes chart can help)
  • 8 wooden beads (20 mm) and a pom-pom maker
  • A yarn needle and scissors
  • A name tag (optional)

How the Stocking Comes Together

It starts at the toe with a small circle of cream yarn that grows round by round until it is the full width of the foot.

Then the mosaic begins. Each round uses just one color, cream and camel in turn, and the diamonds appear as the rounds stack up.

The foot and the leg are one tube. An opening is left for the heel along the way, so the leg keeps growing without a break.

The Heel, the Cuff and the Pom-Poms

The heel is saved for last and worked into that opening. This is called an afterthought heel, and it gives the stocking its classic shape.

The cuff is crocheted sideways around the top as a ribbed band, then folded over.

To finish, two pom-poms, one cream and one camel, are threaded with wooden beads and tied beside the hanging loop.

Mosaic crochet is a colorwork technique where you use only one color per round or row. The design appears as the rounds stack up, so you never work with two yarns in the same round.

How big is the finished stocking?

About 16 in (41 cm) from toe to top and 6 in (15 cm) wide laid flat, in worsted weight yarn with a 5 mm hook.

What yarn and hook do I need?

Worsted weight wool in two colors: 2 balls (50 g / 110 yd each) of cream and 1 ball of camel, with a 5 mm (US H/8) crochet hook. For the finishing you also need 8 wooden beads and a pom-pom maker.
