Today is the first day of December which means 24 days until Christmas. So good thing this pattern is "once again", quick and easy! Depending on how fast of a crocheter you are, you can have one whipped up in a day or two. When designing this stocking I wanted it to be simple with a farmhouse touch, so I chose to go with the Mainely ridge look. Here's the free pattern, enjoy.
