Stocking

Stocking charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 22 by 24 motif made for seasonal throws, festive runners, and holiday gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for

Skill level: beginner

If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine stocking panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.

Project ideas

Whether you are making a festive table runner or a stocking, the stocking drops in cleanly, ideal for a seasonal gathering. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.

Who it's for

A stocking panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a grandchild, and it fits naturally with Easter. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Size, printing, and scaling

Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 5.5-by-6.0-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.

Stocking filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the stocking pattern?
Yes. The stocking is one of the more beginner-friendly charts here — it reads clearly and forgives the odd miscount. If you can work a double crochet and a chain, you can follow it.
What can I make with the stocking pattern?
It works well as a festive centrepiece or a repeating seasonal band — think a tree-skirt panel or a seasonal throw, and it is a natural choice for a holiday heirloom.
Can I resize the stocking chart?
Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.
What yarn works best for this stocking chart?
Size 10 cotton thread with a steel hook gives a fine, traditional filet; DK or worsted cotton with a larger hook makes a softer, blanket-weight version. A smooth, solid, light colour reads best.
How many stitches is the stocking pattern?
The chart is 22 by 24 squares — 528 mesh in total, about 145 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 5.5 by 6.0 inches.
