How to Crochet A Gauge Swatch
Working a gauge swatch will let you know if you will have the correct sizing for this pattern. It will also help you practice the stitches used in this project and improve your stitch work for a flawless look.

Construction
The Granny All the Way Stockings are easy-peasy to make, and they work up quickly. We'll start by creating a toe, and then we'll work the body of the stocking in the chosen granny stitch colorwork design, leaving an opening for the heel. Then, we'll add a simple ribbing to the top and add the heel and a hanging loop to finish. Feel free to add other embellishments like tassels, bells, or even little Christmas trees, like the one from my Advent Calendar.

Special Stitches
Stacked Single Crochet (Stsc): Do NOT chain, insert hook into next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through both loops, insert hook in the vertical bar below, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through both loops on the hook.
Pattern Notes
- A ch 1 at the beginning of a row is not counted as a stitch.
- Using a stitch marker at the beginning of each row is recommended.
- Keep the blo sc sts loose for the ribbing. Making them too tight will result in the top of the stocking being too tight.
- Each stocking will have the same instructions for the Toe, Top Ribbing, and Heel. The Body sections will vary depending on the desired colorwork style.
