Tips for Crocheting Cables

Decorating Ideas for Your Stocking
Once your cable crochet stocking is complete, it’s time to embellish and display it. Here are a few ideas:
- Add Names: Personalize the cuff with embroidered names, or wooden tags.
- Use Metallic Yarn: Incorporate metallic thread or yarn for a festive sparkle.
- Hang with Style: Use a decorative stocking holder or rustic ribbon to hang it by the fireplace.
Crochet Stocking Yarn
For this crochet Christmas sock, I chose Lion Brand Yarns Pound of Love in Olive.
Pound of love is a premium acrylic, worsted weight yarn that is currently available in 38 colors. It’s soft on the hands while crocheting, yet sturdy enough to hold its shape for this cable crochet Christmas stocking pattern.
What is the BEST yarn to use for crochet Christmas stockings?
When searching for crochet Christmas patterns, you’ll find that the most popular weight of yarn used for crochet stockings is worsted weight yarn. Worsted weight yarn is not only durable, it also works up pretty quickly.
Worsted weight yarns are great for both simple crochet stitch pattern stockings and crochet stockings with cables.
The following are my favorite worsted weight yarns to use for Christmas stockings: Lion Brand Pound of Love, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, and Lion Brand Wool Ease.

- Construction Notes: This cabled Christmas stocking is worked from the top down beginning at the cables. After working the leg of stocking, a short row heel is added. After the heel, stitches are picked up to work the foot of stocking, then the toe is made. Four rounds of single crochet cuff are added to the top edge to finish it off. Finish with a hanging loop and tassel.
Olivette Cable Crochet Christmas Stocking Pattern
Leg of Stocking
Note: This section is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral). Do not join at the end of each round, instead use a scrap piece of yarn to keep track of the beginning of each round. Move the scrap of yarn up as you complete each round.
Note #2: Because it’s worked in a spiral, you may notice a slight lean/twist in your stocking as you are crocheting. This is normal and will straighten out when the stocking is in use and the stitches loosen up. You can also block it once you’ve finished and encourage the stitches to straighten out more quickly.

Foot of Stocking
Note: This section is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral). Do not join at the end of each round, instead use a scrap piece of yarn to keep track of the beginning of each round. Move the scrap of yarn up as you complete each round.
Note about Rnd 1: This round is very similar to Rnd 4 of the Leg of Stocking. The only difference is that the first and last 8 stitches of the round are worked into the stitches of the heel.

Tip! After working Round 1 of the Foot of Stocking, use a yarn needle and tails of yarn to stitch closed the small gaps near the first and last stitches of the heel. It’s easier to do this now, rather than waiting until you’ve completed your stocking. See photos below.
