Take heart! There is still time to knit or crochet a stocking for Christmas. Whether you are looking for a simple stocking or a fancy doodle one, there is something here for everyone. Most patterns are free, I think only 2 need to be purchased, so I hope you find something that speaks to you. Ho Ho Ho!!!
