Joining the Granny Squares
Lay the squares out as shown in the picture and sew the edges together, leaving the section marked with the orange line open.
Next, fold the squares along the dotted lines and sew the remaining edges together. Finally, work the heel into the space that’s left.
Add the Cuff to the Crochet Christmas Stocking Pattern
Attach the yarn to the top of the stocking to start the cuff. You will crochet around the top of the three granny squares. Each square has 14 stitches and 2 corner spaces, giving a total of 48 stitches (16 stitches per square x 3 squares).
Round 1: Ch 3, dc in each corner space and each st, join (48 stitches)
Round 2: Ch 3, *FPdc, BPdc*, join (48 stitches)
Rounds 3-5: Repeat round 2.
To add the loop, single crochet into the three middle stitches for 15 rows. Fasten off, then sew the end of the loop to the cuff.
Finishing the Crochet Christmas Stocking Pattern
Weave in all of the yarn tails.
