– Hook: 4.0mm crochet hook

– Eyes: Not applicable for this project

– Stuffing: Not needed for this project

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing in ends

– Marker: Stitch marker

– Optional extras: Decorative buttons, ribbons, or appliques for embellishment

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: The hexagon motifs are worked in rows with a combination of double crochet and slip stitches. Don’t worry if the shapes seem tricky at first—practice makes perfect!

– Assembly: Join the hexagon pieces using slip stitch or whip stitch for a seamless finish. Keep your stitches neat for a polished look.

– Yarn substitutions: If you prefer a more colorful scheme, feel free to swap in pastel or metallic yarns to give your stocking a unique flair.

– Gauge tips: Aim for a loose tension to allow the stocking to hold its shape without being overly tight. A gauge swatch of 4” x 4” should measure approximately 16 stitches and 10 rows in double crochet.

– Safety considerations: If gifting to a family with small children, consider avoiding embellishments that could be choking hazards.
