Heel:


Row 1 (right side): Ch 1, sc in 1 st, hdc in next st, sc in next st, slipstitch in next st, ch 1 turn.

Row 2: Sc in 2 sts, hdc in next st, sc in next 2 sts, slipstitch in next st, ch 1 turn.

Row 3: Sc in 2 sts, hdc in 3 sts (when working in hdc of previous row go into the front 2 loops of st), sc in 2 sts, slipstitch in next st, ch 1 turn.

Row 4: Sc in 3 sts, hdc in 3 sts, sc in 3 sts, slipstitch in next st, ch turn.

Row 5: Sc in 3 sts, hdc in 5 sts (when working in hdc of previous row go into the front 2 loops of st), sc in 3 sts, slipstitch in next st, ch turn.

Row 6: Sc in 13, slipstitch in next st, ch turn.

Row 7: Sc in 15 st, slipstitch in first sc of this row.

From now on working in rounds.

Leg:


Rounds 10-16: Ch 1, sc in each st. Join with a slipstitch in first sc. (15 sc)

Round 17: Ch 1, sc in each st to center back (usually 9 sc), ch 10for hanging loop, sc in remaining sts, DO NOT join. Fasten off and use a yarn needle and the tail to join the round and weave in end.

NOTES:
Give a tug on the heel to improve the shaping.

If you’d like, work the last two rounds in a contrasting yarn. I like to use a fuzzy white yarn like Woolease White Frost. When I do this I don’t crochet the hanging loop, I use about 6 inches of gold/silver cord for the hanging loop.

I think I will make this for my niece and add her name. I try to make her some sort of ornament each year and never did get around to it this year. Thanks for sharing.

What size hook do you use?

The size appropriate for the yarn you are using.

Rows 8 and 9 of the heel portion seem to be missing from the directions - please post them so that I can make this adorable ornament.

Round 10 is a continuation of the toe portion, worked in "rounds". The heel is worked in "rows".

If I expand the rounds and stitches, will it become a real sock, ready-to-wear? Iris

I would look for a full size sock pattern.

This is by far the best pattern out there for stockings. I absolutely love it. I've altered it a little bit to make it my own in a sense, but I absolutely love it!

Lovely thankyou I think I'll make some to hang with goodies in each day :)

How big do these end up being? I am looking for approx half the size of a normal size stocking to use for my 8 grandchildren. I might use a full size but want to have a smaller pattern for back up. Busy time of year! Lol Thank you!

These aren't that large. I don't have one right now, I gave them all away. Going by memory I'd guess they are about 4 1/2 inches tall.
