His and Hers Cozy Country Stockings Crochet Pattern


HIS AND HERS COZY COUNTRY STOCKINGS
Give it a <3 or add it to your Ravelry queue here.

When I first designed this stocking it was only the "hers" version and was made using one of those fuzzy yarns which is no longer made.  I came across this the other day and thought...you know....I have this stash of worsted weight cotton that would probably just work.  So I went to work....as I finished "hers" I realized that it would look really cute with a "his" version to match.  I made both of these stockings in one evening so they work up fairly quickly.  And they are the perfect size to use as a small gift bag (I'm thinking gifts from the kitchen)!!  Use any kind of yarn you like...I've made one using size 10 cotton and size 7 hook (pic below) and got a 2nd place ribbon on it in the county fair.  Please let me know if you find any errors in this pattern and I will do my best to answer any questions or get it changed as soon as possible.  Happy Stitching!!!
