Crochet Stocking Advent Calendar
"Twenty-four mini stockings are crocheted using one basic pattern. Variations are made by changing color in different places to make stripes, dots, heel, toe and cuff variations, etc. The sample was made with 7 colors of cotton yarn. Tags with numbers are added, then they are hung and ready to be filled with treats to help little ones count down to Christmas."
