This was my first time using a HDCK(half double crochet knit) stitch, and as I know it’s not perfect, I’m VERY proud with how it turned out!

I recently found out I was pregnant and crocheted this to send to my brother and his wife for a Christmas announcement. As I was finishing my LAST ROW of my project, I found out my dad had already let the secret slip a few weeks prior. I don’t know if I’m more upset that he told them before I did, or that I didn’t get any congratulations from them…

Anyways, enjoy my little stocking and Merry Christmas! ????
