CROCHET SUPPLIES
When it comes to crocheting your Christmas Stockings, here are some supplies you will need:

Best Yarn For Crochet Christmas Stockings
The most popular yarn for crochet stockings is size #4 Aran/Worsted weight yarn because of its durability. Although you can pretty much make a stocking out of any yarn you like, as long as you keep in mind that the yarn you choose will make an impact on how well it hangs
