Introducing the Mosaic Christmas Stockings Blanket Strip

If you’re new here, you should know that the very first thing I ever crocheted as an adult was a set of Christmas stockings for my family. I found the pattern first, and used Google and YouTube to understand the basics while creating something meaningful, similar to the handmade stockings my mom made when I was a kid. Handmade stockings felt like the perfect blend of tradition and personal touch – something I could customize for each family member and add to as our family expanded. That experience left a lasting impression on me, and it inspired this section of the blanket: a celebration of those cozy, memory-filled moments we make during the holidays.

The Mosaic Christmas Stockings section features two standout designs that blend beautifully into the CAL: one stocking has a playful argyle pattern, and the other showcases a festive Christmas tree. While you can follow the charts and make your own 2-color version, this is also a great spot in your blanket to get creative. Maybe you’ll alternate colors, mirror the motifs, or swap in your own signature palette to reflect your home’s holiday style. However you make it your own, I hope this section brings you as much joy to stitch as it brought me to design. I can’t wait to see your take on it!
