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.
Those are just too cute. I have to try it along with my stars and snowflakes.
ReplyDeletereally nice for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteSO cute! Perfect for the christmas ornament exchange! :o)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook do you use?
ReplyDeleteThe size appropriate for the yarn you are using.
ReplyDeleteRows 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.
ReplyDeleteRound 10 is a continuation of the toe portion, worked in "rounds". The heel is worked in "rows".
ReplyDeleteIf I expand the rounds and stitches, will it become a real sock, ready-to-wear? Iris
ReplyDeleteI would look for a full size sock pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteLovely thankyou I think I'll make some to hang with goodies in each day :)
ReplyDeleteHow 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!
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
