Crochet Some Christmas Stockings
If your childhood memories include waking up on Christmas morning to discover a stocking filled to the brim with dozens of little gifts and candies, you'll understand why the most popular patterns are for handmade stockings.
Even if you're lacking a fireplace, the family's stockings can be hung from a staircase banister, from the TV antenna or from a curtain rod in the window.
