The Hexagon Granny Stocking crochet pattern by Briana K Designs is the perfect way to add handmade to your holiday season. Its cozy appearance and hexagon motif make it a great addition to every Christmas setup. Picture waking up on Christmas day to find a hand-crafted stocking hanging by the fireplace, filled with holiday treats!
Tools and Materials You’ll Need
The pattern calls for Brava Tweed Worsted yarn, which is made of 97% premium acrylic and 3% viscose. It comes in cozy colorways such as Wren, Wasabi, and Mink, which contribute an earthy touch, just perfect for winter.
Work with a 5 mm crochet hook to get the required gauge. You will also want to have on hand a small leather strap and perhaps some embellishments, such as wooden beads, to add some character.
How to Join the Hexagons
This crochet Christmas stocking pattern shares a very straightforward method for joining hexagons. Unlike other patterns that require either half-motifs or complicated assembly, this project uses full hexagons only, keeping things simple.
Once you’ve completed your 12 hexagon motifs, you’ll join them using a flat slip stitch, which not only creates a seamless look but also adds a sturdy finish.
After joining, add a special ribbing at the top. This will give your work a professional look and a cozy, textured edge.
Creative Variations You Can Try
If you’re feeling inspired, the Hexagon Granny Stocking pattern can be adjusted to a wide range of colorways and embellishments. Play around with classic holiday hues, like bright reds and greens, for a more traditional look or in mellow earthy tones to take on a more rustic appearance.
Another option would be to customize each stocking with different charms or leather strap colors for each member of the family. You can also try working some metallic or glittery yarn into a few of the hexagons for a frosty, festive shimmer.
