The Puff Stitch Kerstsok (Gehaakt)

I was nervous about crochet stockings looking too rustic, but the puff stitch pattern gives these such a plush, polished look on my mantel. The fact that it's worked in one piece saved me so much finishing time, and the bonus mini size is perfect for a small gift or pet stocking.

The puff stitch texture on these stockings is so thick and plush, they look handmade in the best way. Mine took about two evenings to finish and the mini size was a fun bonus for our small tree.

The video tutorial made the one-piece construction so easy to follow, even for a crochet newbie like me. My stocking came out perfectly fluffy and it’s already hanging on the mantel with the tiny one for our cat.
