Merry Christmas in June!
This is a cute and fun project, one which I did not look forward to initially, but end up having a lot of fun ultimately. The stocking pattern, made up mostly of half double crochet and some double crochet, is relatively easy to understand and follow. It took me 2 days to complete this lovely snowman stocking.
For a start, I follow the colours as recommended in this Snowman Christmas Stocking free pattern since I do have all of them available in my yarn stash. Yes, because of this project, I realise that I have turned into a crochet hobbyist. It goes without saying that all fiber artists have a yarn stash full of one skein wonders and leftovers from other projects. And now, because of the yarn colours for this mini project, I recognise that I have long since join them fiber artists in my pursuit of this craft.
That said, I am actually quite pleased to have found a use for my leftover yarn. I have been keeping some green and orange from some of my earlier projects, and now they can finally be put to good use.
