You'll not only be giving a durable, cute decoration, you'll also be giving the recipient the knowledge that you cared enough to make them something personally.
These are crocheted in the round...
Obtain yarn and a suitably sized crochet hook.
Chain six.
Slip stitch the chain to close the loop.
Chain three.
Double crochet three. Chain two.
Repeat until you have six bunches of three dc separated by two ch.
Slip stitch to close the row of six bunches.
Add a new color at this point if you like.
Chain three in both strands of the new color.
Double crochet three into the hole to the right of your "fat" chain. Chain two.
Double crochet three, chain two, double crochet three, chain two into EACH corner hole.
Finish the row with a slip stitch. Note that you should have TWO bunches of three double crochets in EACH "corner" hole, for a total of 12 bunches total on this row.
Slip stitch the row closed to begin the next row.
Change colors again at this point if you like.
Chain up three, double crochet three into the hole to the immediate right of the chain, then continue to your left and chain two. 17_r3_note_2_in_corners_300.JPG Note that this row is a little tricky, as you will crochet TWO bunches of three dc into each corner hole, but only ONE bunch of three into each hole along the flat sides of your hexagon.
Notice that the project now has enough fullness to fold over on itself.
Fold your hexagon in half, folding it over onto itself so that the long flat edges align with each other. Fold it AT the corners... not in the middle of a long straight side.
Slip stitch four of the sides together, leaving the remaining two sides open to form the "lip" and opening of the stocking.
Chain 20 and slip stitch back to its base to form the hanging loop.
Turn down the remaining, open, point to form the cuff or "lip" of the stocking.
Fill with whatever Christmas favors you like.
