Christmas Stocking Pattern

Crocheting the Toe

Round 1: Using color A, make a magic circle, sc 8 into the circle, join to the first sc with a slip stitch (8)

Round 2: ch 1, 2 sc into each st around, join to the first sc with a sl st. (16)

Round 3: ch 1, *2 sc into the first st, 1 sc in the next, rep from * around end with a sc in the last st, join to the first sc with a sl st. (24) cut the yarn.

Main Part of the Stocking

Next: Join in color B in the next st after the join, ch 1 (counts as a st) place a st marker into the ch 1 (st) to mark your first st, sc into the next st, * continue sc around in each st until you reach the st marker, remove the st marker,

sc into that st, place the st marker into the st you just made, repeat from * around until your stocking measures about 8 inches long, join to the next st with a slip stitch and break (cut) the yarn.

If you prefer not to use a stitch marker, just keep single crocheting in continuous rounds until the foot meets the measurement above.

Heel

We are working in rows now. Count 12 sts over from the join to the right and join in Color A

Row 1: in the first st sc, next sc, hdc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, hdc, sc, sc, turn. (10)

Row 2: ch 1, sc, hdc, hdc, dc, tr 2 times in the next st, tr 2 times in the next st, dc, hdc, hdc, sc, turn. (12)

Row 3: ch 1, sc2tog, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc2tog (10)

slip stitch into the next st and fasten (break) off the yarn.

Leg of the Stocking

We are working in continuous rounds again.

Optional: Place a st marker in the first st to mark your place and move it up each time you reach it in the rounds like before.

Join in color B halfway through the heel or 5 stitches in, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc into the same st as the sl st join, continue sc around continuously until the stocking leg reaches 8 inches

Slip stitch into the next st after you reach 8 inches in height.

Cuff

Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as a dc), *fpdc, bpdc, fpdc repeat from * around. (the slip stitch from the round before does not count as a st)

Final Touches

• Weave in all the loose ends with your yarn needle.
• You can add a loop of chain stitches at the top if you want to hang the stocking.
