Linda's Christmas Stocking

   These are some of the Stockings I've made from this pattern over the years. Stocking on right is smaller, perfect for Headstart

   This is NOT one of my {"JMSQ"} original patterns, This is an older pattern, my copy is dated back to 03... and I am un-able to get it to open from the archives of Riverly.
   This is a perfect stocking pattern and I want to share with you. 2 sizes, one large and the smaller one (right side of photo)  perfect for headstart program

                       My "JMSQ"s changes in this pattern are noted in (  )


This pattern works up quickly and looks great. I like to use the same
color for the toe and heel and then do stripes through out as the need
or want arises. It makes the stocking look more interesting and uses
up a lot of scrap Christmas yarn.

MATERIALS:
Assorted Christmas colors of WW Yarn

G hook (I use an H hook)

Note: The toe color could be changed after row 4 to the body color of stocking.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Ch 4, join with sl st to form ring. ch 3

Row 1: 12 dc in ring, join with sl st to top of ch 3

Row 2: 2 dc in each dc around, join with sl st to top of ch 3

Row 3: 2 dc in 1st dc, *1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, *repeat around
ending with 1 dc in last dc and join as before. Ch 3

Row 4-12: 1 dc in each dc around. Join as before and ch 3
**(change color for heel after row 4)


Change For Heel:

Rwo 13: 1 dc in each dc to within last 12 dc.. ch 3 and turn

Row 14-19: Repeat row 13 by doing 1 dc in each dc of heel row. Fasten off,
fold heel in half right sides together and sew up the back of heel for the
seam.

Change for body:
Attach yarn to heel at seam line, ch 3

Row 1: 1 dc in joining and 13 more evenly spaced around heel rows to 1st
free dc of in steep, dc in each in step dc; 14 dc evenly spaced around heel
rows. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. ch 3

Row 2-21:
1 dc in each dc. Join as before and ch 3 making sure to do a ch 10 for
hanging in the position you want it in the last row. Fasten off and weave
in the ends.

(*NOTE:)
Because I use an H hook, I "JMSQ" work this same pattern to row 12,
THEN I change colors the last 4 rows for trim Plus 1 row for ruffle
