Crocheting a Christmas stocking is a fairly simple process. You will need to know how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch. First, you will need to create the body of the stocking. To do this, you will chain the desired width of the stocking and then single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each stitch across. Next, you will need to increase the width of the stocking. To do this, you will single crochet in the first stitch of the previous row and in each stitch across, then double crochet in the last stitch.
