This crochet Christmas stocking is a little bit different to most of my tutorials – because it’s made using hexagons there isn’t much of a pattern to follow once you’ve mastered the hexi. However there is a trick in sewing them together to form a stocking. So, I’m going to be sharing info on how to make the hexagons and then how to attach them.
Let’s start with the basics, how do you make a crochet hexagon?
Hexagon Stitch Pattern
To begin: In colour A, chain 4, insert hook into the first chain to make a circle
Round 1: Ch3, tr, ch2, *2tr, ch2* 5 times, connect into the 3rd chain from the bottom.

Round 2: Change to colour B, ch3, tr into the top of stitch, tr in space, *ch2, tr in corner, tr into top of next two stitch, tr into same corner* 5 times, ch2, tr into corner, connect into third chain from the bottom.
