Have a Pixel Christmas: Stocking Square

Everyone who is young at heart can still experience the thrill of anticipation at the sight of an overflowing stocking. Christmas morning's youthful enthusiasm, jolly laughs, and warm family moments all center around this sign of the holidays, so your graphghan wouldn't be complete without the Stocking Square. The pixel design makes this crochet square look soft and inviting, just like that stocking you can't wait to investigate. As with the other granny square patterns in this collection, this is an easy crochet pattern full of Christmas spirit—and even if you can't quite squeeze the completed crochet blanket pattern in a real stocking, it would be a great idea for a handmade Christmas gift.
