Easy, fast and textured Christmas stocking “Alpine” pattern.
This crochet stocking pattern is simple yet textured, modern and despite of looking intricate it is really easy to make.
I love how one stitch can look different when it is crocheted with different type of yarn or different weight of yarn. I have tried the FPcl- front post dc cluster stitch for a hat with hand dyed yarn before and I was not impressed, but while searching for the right stitch to use for my “Alpine” crochet stocking in one of my crochet stitches books- I can say that I love how this stitch worked out with worsted weight yarn.

You need to know simple stitches as double crochet, half double crochet and FPdc.

The patterns is for advanced beginner.
