October 17, 2020 at 6:41 pmHello If I wanted these big enough to put a small chocolate bar in for a christmas treat how would I adjust it?

October 20, 2020 at 11:08 amHi Jody To make the stocking bigger you can use thicker yarn with a larger hook – if you don’t have any thicker yarn to hand you can always use two strands of the same yarn held together
