The Body

- Tighten the ring to close it.
- Join with a slip stitch at the top.

The Heel
- Use a different color for the heel.
- Count 6 stitches on the main body of the stocking.
- Make a single crochet into each of the 6 stitches.
- Chain one and turn your work.
- Create a sloped heel: slip stitch into the first stitch, half double crochet into the next, double crochet into the next two, half double crochet into the next, and slip stitch into the last stitch.
- Chain one and turn, repeating the last step for two more rows.
- After the three rows are complete, cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
Joining the Heel to the Body
- With the yarn used for the body, make single crochet stitches along the heel part.
- The goal is to get 12 stitches around the new opening.
- Continue to make single crochet stitches, joining the body and the heel part together.
- Once the first round of single crochets is complete, join with a slip stitch.
- Make a second round of single crochet stitches to reinforce the seam.
The Ankle and Cuff
- Start working in double crochet stitches around the new opening, making a total of 12 stitches.
- Continue this step to make the ankle as long as you'd like.
- For the cuff, use a different colored yarn, such as a velvet yarn.
- Join the new yarn at the back.
- Make a chain and then half double crochet stitches into each stitch around.
- Join with a slip stitch and make a chain.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail to hang the stocking.
