Crochet Christmas stocking for kids inspired by the famous Paw patrol cartoon series is the latest post on our blog. Continue reading for my inspiration, design process, yarn choice, or scroll down for the free pattern.

The Design:

A few years ago I found a group of women that crochet toys for charity! As a designer, I have tried making a few crochet amigurumi dolls over the year and had plenty of them lying around the house. When I read about this group I contacted and joined them. Every year around the Christmas holiday time there is enormous demand for crochet snowmen, reindeers, Santa, elf toys, but this year I noticed that people prefer Christmas stockings. And I thought why not make a famous character stocking which will become one of the favorites among the smallest fans of the show.

The main reason behind why I chose Paw patrol is my daughter. When she was a toddler she was crazy over the show! We had clothes, toys, blankets of the Paw Patrol crew. On the show, there are like 8-10 pups, I chose the most loved 3 of them which are- Marshal, Skye, and Chase. (I hope I chose wisely 🙂 )

The yarn:

In my opinion, every yarn can be used to make a stocking. There is no perfect yarn for this, but I will recommend you to use worsted weight/Aran weight or light worsted weight yarn. The brand I am using is Hobby Lobby’s – Yarn bee soft and sleek. I have a love/hate relationship with this yarn. When I tried it 2 years ago I thought that it is too sturdy and not soft but as I continued my crochet journey I learned a few stuff over the years. For example, I learned how important it is to use the right hook with the right yarn :). And now I can proudly say that I love this yarn pretty much.

Yarn bee soft and sleek is easy to crochet with and it is not stretchy which will prevent the stocking from getting loose and you will be able to keep and use it for many more years to come. It has a variety of colors which only adds to the positives! But as I said you can use whatever yarn you have in your stash.

The pattern:

This pattern is one of my easiest patterns- all you need to know is how to make a single crochet stitch. Yay, finally something that is for a total beginner and can be made by almost everyone! It may look intricate as there are a few parts to sew but I can assure you that you will love making it. Also, this project is perfect for last-minute Christmas gift making as I bet you can crochet one in just a few hours. If you are ready as they say in the show -” Let’s pups save the day! “

Before I start with the pattern check out my last year’s Christmas stocking- “Alpine”. If you haven’t seen it yet. This one will make a lovely Christmas gift for the adults!

Pattern notes:

The pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
The pattern is worked in joined rounds. We work in continues rounds only when it is stated.
You can use hot glue gun to stick your eyes and muzzle or you can just sew them with a needle. I use both methods.
I made the stocking colorful but you can make them in solid color. There is a chart included with the colors for each stocking and the rounds in which they are used.
You can use thicker yarn to make them bigger.
The final measurements of the finished stocking is: 5 inches width x 11 inches in length.
The first 3 rounds are worked in double crochet and we join with a sl.st in the 2^nd ch of initial ch 2. Rounds 4-48 are worked with single crochet and we join with sl.st on top of 1^st st and we begin the new round by making the first st in the base of initial ch-1.
