Alan and I got beautiful machine-knitted stockings for wedding presents, so I have delayed getting Jared a stocking because I wanted it to semi-match the ones we already have. Since it would have been expensive to order one just like the ones we had (like $50!), I have spent a long time looking for a free crochet pattern online for a stocking. Since I didn't find any that I liked, I finally decided to just make up a pattern myself--something I have never done before!! It is quite obvious below which ones were machine-made and which one was hand-crocheted, but I am still quite pleased with the result.
I even found yarn colors to match, so at least they-re the same color. :)
As I was working on this, I was trying to teach Jared about stockings. I will ask him, "What are stockings for?" and he'll say "Christmas!!" Then I'll say, "Who is going to fill your stocking with presents at Christmas?" and often he'll say "Jesus!" instead of Santa. :)

I think it looks Awesome GREAT job!
I love this! Kevin and I have the same 2 stockings, so it's going to be the same issue for us to get one for little Snurfeaus. (Oh? Didn't you know we've picked a name?)
I love the work you did on this. You are one crazy awesome crochet queen.
Jenny, you done good! It's beautiful!
Great job on the stocking! I need to make our stockings this year. I made some for the kids last year but wasn't pleased so I am making new ones this year. I think that is so sweet he thinks Jesus fills his stocking instead of Santa.
Very impressive! Good job!
That looks so good Bill!
Jared is smart, he already knows the true meaning of Christmas! :) You never cease to amaze me with your croqueting (and I have no idea how to spell it).
The stocking is incredible! It's just as good as yours or Allen's. Actually, even better since you made it! I am so impressed. They are awesome.
Can I just say . . . WOW! I like to crochet, but you are AMAZING! I could never make up something like that. Way to go, it looks like a perfect match to me!
That is so amazing! You did a great job.
Great Job Jenny! It looks perfect!
