Stocking
Main Body (A): Ch 20 (leave long tail for sewing),
begin Row 1 in second ch from hook
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, 7sc, turn (leave
remaining ch unworked, this will be the little
stocking hanger) (8sc)
Row 2-7: ch 1, sc across, turn (8sc)
Row 8: ch 4(counts as tr), tr, 2dc, 2hdc, 2sc, turn
Row 9: ch 1 (counts as sc), sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2tr, turn
Row 10: Repeat row 8
Row 11: Repeat row 9
Row 12-16: ch1, sc across, turn
Row 17: ch1, sk1, sc2tog, 3sc, sc2tog, turn
Row 18: ch1, sk1, sc2tog, sc, sc2tog, fasten off
leaving long tail for sewing
Decorative Top (B): attach second color at either end
of top of stocking, leave long tails at beginning and
end for sewing.*
Ch3, dc in same st (counts as 1st dcs,) dcs in each
st across, fasten off leaving tail for sewing
*I recommend running this tail horizontally through the
middle of the top row stitches and using it to cinch the
stitches together a little bit. This just makes the top of the
stocking look a little fuller, without adding a lot of bulk.
