Finally I'm Crocheting a Christmas Stocking

Since last year, I have wanted to crochet a Christmas Stocking. I even bought some yarn last fall, but it has languished in my stash. So once again, I am browsing patterns for stockings.

Here is a great tutorial for a simple stocking by Crochet Crowd. It includes simplified diagrams for short row heels.

 Here is one called Tree of Light stocking. I'm not much of a cross stitcher, but some of you may be.

However, this is the one I think I will make. It is from Red Heart, and they have five pages of really clever home decor items for Christmas.
