CROCHET: Mini christmas stocking tutorial | Bella Coco

[@davidclark8473]

amazing video in 2001 I had brain surgery and suffer with anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I was advised to try crochet to help and it does your videos make crochet so easy to follow I completed this and my wife and daughter were so happy for me (i'm just a beginner) made me feel a lot better in myself for finally being able to accomplish something:) thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You are so very welcome, Well done and I'm so glad that my videos are helping you 😀

[@davidclark8473]

@@bellacococrochet there is one thing I do struggle with and that's when it comes to making toys, decorations and doing the decrease stitching my stitches become tighter and a lot harder to get my hook through, is this normal ?

[@bellacococrochet]

It's normal for the stitches to feel tighter as you decrease as you're cinching them together; you should still be able to get your hook through though. If you're having a lot of trouble you could always use a bigger hook just for the decreasing and this should help 🙂

[@rosiemcdowell1860]

Hello David - I was so happy to hear that crochet helps you after your brain surgery. I truly hope that you continue to make good progress both with your health and with your crochet creations. I personally find crochet very therapeutic - it calms my mind. It is a wonderful hobby.

[@magsbower1]

I made these for my nieces and nephews last year, I filled them with sweets and a candy cane to finish them off. I was new to crocheting and they came out really well. I was so proud of my self and it enabled me to give 13 children a special gift with out breaking the bank. Thank you.

[@inphoebesroom7158]

I love making these little stockings!! They are so fun and easy to make! I made some to add to Christmas gifts last year and they were a big hit! Thanks for the tutorial! Your directions are super easy to follow! This is probably the easiest to follow tutorial I have seen yet! ;-)

[@elizabethxxpaige]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! This will be my first Christmas as a married lady, and I'm decorating our first Christmas tree. These have turned out so well, I ended up making some for everyone in my family!

[@crochetqueen9333]

Thank you, Bella, for being such a patient instructor.Your tutorials are easy to follow and I finally end up making something worth looking at!!

[@mistyblamire3415]

I did this tonight and I love it so much. it's the first ever crochet project I've started and finished that actually looks decent. THANK YOU! will be making more and hanging them on my Christmas tree this year!

[@nocomment4642]

Your videos are brilliant ! I have struggled to learn crochet for years but you explain so clearly and I love working along with you. Thank you so much ! I am really enjoying crocheting now

[@hansijain4170]

Happy Happy New Year to you Miss Bella! Just saying your mini xmas sock tutorial was absolutely easy to follow, I've just finished making my very first one and it turned out beautiful. I finished the edges with a single crochet stitch around and the cuff was with your 4 rows of single stitches. Thank you very much for uploading this video and you are a wonderful teacher, looking forward to another video......

[@kimberlydow5052]

Thank you!! I love all your tutorials. I have used a lot of them. And thank you for explaining UK vs Us terms... I'm in the US so I appreciate it!!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@rioseven7306]

Great as usual! Only change I made, instead of crocheting the edges together...I left long tails every time I tied-off the yarn. Then I used the tails to whip stitch the edges together. It’s a bit easier since some of the edges don’t have defined stitches to work with, plus it is a great way to get rid of your yarn tails.

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

With the holiday’s almost upon us; I have already made two of the trees and one wreath. These are for my granddaughters advent calendar; and I’m very happy to have again learned from a great instructor. Have you had your baby

[@barbaragoodale8208]

I have made two of these, one red with sparkle and green with sparkle. I love them. Thank you

[@dorapyffer7733]

I did make my first one tonight, it came out great. I will be making the other one and hanging them on my front door. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Jessimun]

I've made 2 for myself, a friend of mine asked me to make her 10 these are perfect for hiding gift cards or little gifts for Christmas! Ty so much super easy

[@bellacococrochet]

Jessica Calvo sounds great! :) x

[@claravas3471]

This is the only video that explained and showed so nicely I made mini Christmas boot thank you

[@AubreyRasmussen]

so cute. just made one in less than an hour. super easy to follow. thank you!

[@CraftyMatthew]

Why do you chain 2 to turn? In SC the appropriate turn chain is only one, and it never counts as a stitch. The proper way to start is to chain 37, sc into the second chain, and every remaining chain and you will have 36 stitches Also it you are only going to crochet into one loop of your chain, it is best to use the loops on the back of the chain rather than the top loop. In subsequent rows you chain one, and ignore it, and work into the stitches, which are exactly that, stitches, not chain loops. BTW, NEVER leave a knot like that in your yarn! It will eventually come undone and your piece will start to unravel. To change color it is preferably to work to the last 2 loops of the previous color, and complete the stitch with the new color, then continue. As for joining yarn in the middle of a row, the proper way to do so is to make a slip knot on your hook, then slip stitch into the stitch, chain one, and do a SC into the same stitch, then complete your row. I hope this will make things clearer to others who find your video a bit confusing. I have crocheted for 47 years.

[@MACDOT8]

Thank you for posting these fantastic videos. They're so clearly explained and a joy to follow. I could never understand crochet before but now i'm hooked (excuse the pun!).

[@bellacococrochet]

+Tracy MacDonald hehe! I'm so glad you like them and they have helped you xx

Thank you for this tutorial! I couldn’t get exactly 36 stitches each time (I kept getting 35) I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but my stocking turned out pretty well. Better than I expected 😊

[@ninapapagni4501]

Your creation was so easy for me I have 8 great grandchildren I made each of them your Xmas stocking

[@leem4000]

I just made one for a friend in teal n white n I love it. I learned from u the little ball stitch, thank you! I love how it came out!

[@amandacullen317]

Lee M how many balls of wool do you think you would need if I was doing 25?

[@leem4000]

Amanda - I really don't have a good answer for u n I'm sorry. It really didn't take much yarn. I only had to make one. Maybe if u asked the original maker ... ? They would be able to help u better.

[@amandacullen317]

Lee M I bought 12 red and 6 cream lol I can do them for town and country 😂

[@leem4000]

you should post a pic when u are done!

Thank you for this video! I appreciate your work!! Merry Christmas! Poppy in Georgia

[@louisep3877]

Love this, just want it bigger. Would it work if I multiplied all counts by 3?

[@bellacococrochet]

To make this bigger you can just use bigger yarn and a bigger hook - you can even use the same yarn but with two strands held together 😊

[@Lanniebabesz]

I loved making this! My mom was so impressed! Do you have any more christmas ones you can share with us? I think they are brill!!

[@bellacococrochet]

Alanya Slater hopefully i will get some more up soon! :) thanks for watching

fitst time at crotchet thanks very easy to follow keep up the good work

[@sandynorlock4056]

Thank you for sharing, I just made a green and white one.

[@MrRokashan]

I've been following this video in the hopes of being able to crochet Christmas stockings for my cats. If I wanted to make this a little bigger, would I still follow the same steps?

[@bellacococrochet]

Yes, the easiest way to make this bigger is to follow the pattern the same, but use thicker yarn (you could even hold two strands of yarn together to make it really chunky) 😊

[@marleneevans1043]

This was a great tutorial. Easy to follow and so cute. Thank you. (Love your accent to).

[@rhondadraheim9730]

i like it i made my first one and it wasgood job telling how to do it.thank you very much.

[@jaimiegarland5578]

love this tutorial... mine turned out amazing. I wanted to know if there was a way to make it bigger. would I just double everything? please let me know. I'd love to make them for Christmas

[@bellacococrochet]

+Jaimie Garland Hi, You would have to play around with the pattern, I've never sat and actually made it bigger, but yes, in theory, you could double everything x

[@HeyitsKayleigh_]

Do you think it would work halving the amount of stitches so you get a single sided stocking?

[@doingmything6179]

I think another pattern may be better as self taught myself crochet 6 weeks ago but cant get the chain tension right and so wanted to make 12 for the Christmas tree unless any hints for tension please......I have attempted 5 times and no luck

[@bellacococrochet]

Mary Gibbs Practice makes perfect! you will get it! Just try and keep your hand relaxed x

[@marygibbs9370]

Thank you I will try that.

[@vivianaschmidt8003]

Are you going in between the posts when you double crochet? I am having a hard time seeing where to insert my needle when I start the second row. Please help

[@vivianaschmidt8003]

I’ve been inserting my hook though the fist chain and by the time I’m done with my row- I have a line in the back of my work.

[@PinkgirlXX23]

So beautiful and educational

Hi , how big is the finished size? I want to make a phone holder

[@ellengray5841]

hi if I wanted to make a bigger one how many stitches would I need to do and is it the same way as u done in this one ty

[@tamaraarrington2477]

Ellen Gray you could try to double the amount of stitches

[@Spookygal8209]

Can you make an updated Christmas stocking video where the stocking is shaped more as a sock rather than an L shaped. If that makes any sense.

[@beesandyarn]

Leslie Branco On Bella Coco's channel she has a stocking pattern made with hexagons - this one is a lot bigger but has more of a sock shape.

[@immy9343]
