This Mosaic Crochet Christmas Stocking with Cable Ornament is a free crochet pattern featuring easy-to-follow basic crochet stitches, such that even a beginner can crochet it. This free crochet pattern is made with bulky-weight yarn and includes 3 detailed video tutorials.
The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by crafting your own unique Christmas stocking? While stockings are a beloved tradition in many parts of the world, they’re not as common where I come from in Germany. That’s why I designed this special Christmas stocking pattern, filled with festive motifs, to share the joy of this holiday craft with others. Inspired by the timeless symbols of Christmas—bells, trees, and ornaments—this stocking brings warmth, charm, and a touch of intricate crochet techniques to your home.
Mosaic Crochet Stocking with Cable Ornament
This design is not just about creating a beautiful stocking; it’s also an opportunity to explore different crochet techniques. From mosaic crochet and thermal crochet to linked stitches and even knit-like crochet, this pattern will guide you through a variety of fun and challenging stitches.
Plus, there’s a cable ornament hanging gracefully from the side, adding a bit of texture and elegance. Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or ready to tackle something new, this pattern offers both an artistic and technical challenge that will leave you with a stunning holiday decoration.
Originally designed as a Mystery Crochet Along, this pattern has now become a cherished project that many crocheters have enjoyed. To make it even easier to follow, I’ve included three helpful tutorial videos that will guide you step-by-step through the more complex techniques. Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this crochet Christmas stocking will add a personal touch to your festive decorations.
So, grab your yarn, hook, and a warm cup of cocoa—let’s get ready to crochet a holiday stocking that’s as special and unique as the traditions you celebrate!

Quick note: First you’ll crochet the middle part of the foot, the cuff, the leg part and then the heel, before sewing it all together and crochet the toes of the stocking. Finally, you’ll also crochet a cable ornament as a pom pom replacement.

Written Pattern for the Stocking Toes
Toes – white yarn
All dec’s are inv sc dec (see video tutorial for a step by step tutorial)
To R1’s chain of the red foot wst piece, crochet the following:
R1-2: 1 sc per st, sl st (34 sts)
R3: 1 sc per st until 2 sts left, 1 dec, sl st (33 sts)

R9: (1 sc in 3 sts, 1 dec) 3 times
Weave through all front loops, pull and close the hole
Assembly for the Stocking
First, fold the linked crochet heel and half and sew one edge, close to the fold, together.
Now, lay the pointed closed corner outwards and put the foot piece below and sew the linked crochet piece to 17 stitches (half a round) of the foot piece.
Next, sew the linked crochet piece to 17 stitches to the bottom of the mosaic crochet leg piece. And sew the rest of the 17 sts of the mosaic crochet piece to the 17 sts of the foot piece.
Fold the thermal crochet piece and half and sew the short ends together. Sew the inside “left over front loops” to the top mosaic crochet piece.
Add a hanger (I used a leather strap (I used this one – click to see), punch holes in it (with this leather hole puncher – click to see), and sew it on).
Cable Ornament – white yarn
I used this 2.5 inch plastic bauble but you can also fill it with polyfill!
ALL first DC sts are made as ATC sts!
R1: Magic ring, 6 sc, sl st
R2: 2 sc per st, sl st
R3: (1 sc, 2 sc) 6 times, sl st

R5: (1 dc, sk 2 sts, 1 FPTR in 2 sts, 1 FPTR in both skipped sts, 1 dc) 6 times
