The Country Crochet patterns have continued to be some of the most popular patterns on Stitching Together and it really isn’t hard to see why. If modern farmhouse style is your jam, then the Country Collection is PERFECT for you.
What if you didn’t jump on the farmhouse bandwagon (spoiler alert: I didn’t)? The collection is STILL perfect for you! The neutral colors can fit almost anywhere OR you can pick the perfect colors to match your decor. As I’ve said before, that is one of the best parts about making things yourself!
Just like the rest of the Country Crochet patterns, the one piece crochet Christmas stocking features the spider stitch which gives the stocking a great texture and looks especially good with the striped stocking.
