A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet christmas stocking pattern with a tiny teddy bear peeking out of the cuff, made as a small amigurumi tree ornament. The red stocking has a white fluffy cuff and toe, and the honey-brown teddy plushie holds a little holly sprig with a red berry, with a gold loop on its head for hanging. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook, stands about 9 cm (3.7 in) tall, and the head, paws, ears and holly are sewn on after the stocking is bent into its boot shape. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece.

How to crochet the Stocking with a Teddy Ornament

Beginner-friendly · 9 cm tall · about 2 h · fingering yarn · 2 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 13 pieces in rounds: Stocking, Teddy head, Paw ×2, Hanging loop, Holly leaf ×2, Berry, Ear ×2, Muzzle, Cheek ×2 (58 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 11 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

What you'll need

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 3 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 2.7 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 33 sc × 37 rounds); yarn about 1.4 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

0 of 41 rounds done

  1. Size before assembly: about 3 cm at the widest, 5.9 cm long; 24 rounds.
  2. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  3. Change to snow (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R19).
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 90° around round 12<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 12, on the centre top line). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 8 to round 16, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 8 rounds) and fasten off inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.6 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 15 rounds.
  2. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 4 rounds.
  2. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in gold (same rounds, no colour changes).
  2. Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 16 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.

  1. Flat motif — leaf (pointed leaf, worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 1.9 × 0.8 cm; 1 row.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

  1. A flat circle about 1.1 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.9 cm at the widest, 1 cm long; 4 rounds.
  2. Change to honey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R1).
  3. → This piece is not stuffed.
  4. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 1.6 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–4 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 5.9 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 19 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 1.6 × 1 cm at the widest, 0.9 cm long; 4 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With tan: ch 4.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. A flat circle about 1.2 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

    1. Stocking is the base; its magic ring is on the toy's right side.
    1. Teddy head onto the stocking. Stuff the stocking firmly. Hold the teddy head's closing point (last round) at the centre of the stocking's opening (R24) and sew the edge of the opening all round to the teddy head: the seam runs along rounds 12–13 of the teddy head (all the way round). Top up the neck with stuffing before closing the seam so the head does not wobble.
    1. Paw (left) → stocking. Centre: between rounds 22 and 23, 4.5 st from the centre top line, toward the front . Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 22–24 of the stocking, about 2 st wide. It points forward and slightly up.
    1. Paw (right) → stocking. Centre: between rounds 22 and 23, 4.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the front . Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 22–24 of the stocking, about 2 st wide. It points forward and slightly up.
    1. Hanging loop → teddy head. Centre: at the centre of the magic ring. Stand the joined double circle on its edge and sew it on by its bottom edge only — about 2 st of the edge; the seam covers rounds 1–2 of the teddy head, about 1 st wide. It points up.
    1. Holly leaf (no. 1) → stocking. Centre: between rounds 21 and 22, 7.5 st from the centre top line, toward the front . Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 19–24 of the stocking, about 4 st wide.
    1. Holly leaf (no. 2) → stocking. Centre: between rounds 21 and 22, 7.5 st from the centre top line, toward the front . Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 19–23 of the stocking, about 4 st wide.
    1. Berry → stocking. Centre: in round 22, 7.5 st from the centre top line, toward the front . Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 20–23 of the stocking, about 4 st wide.
    1. Ear → teddy head (make 2). Centre: in round 5, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Stand the dish on its rim, hollow side forward, and sew it on by the lower arc of the rim — about 2 st of round 4, catching the back layer too; the seam covers rounds 4–7 of the teddy head, about 3 st wide. Press it into the base by about 4 mm.
    1. Muzzle → teddy head. Centre: between rounds 10 and 11, on the centre front line . Sew around the opening (14 st); the seam covers rounds 8–12 of the teddy head, about 6 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Cheek → teddy head (make 2). Centre: in round 10, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 8–12 of the teddy head, about 4 st wide.

    Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

    • Safety eyes with a printed glint 5–6 mm (on the teddy head): in round 9, 6 st apart (count along round 9: about 3 st each side of the centre front line).
    • Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in charcoal thread, a oval about 5.5 mm wide and 3.8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
    • Embroidery in charcoal thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ).
    • Embroidery in charcoal thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 2 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
