Instructions
Sole of the Stocking (Using Pink Yarn)
Begin with a magic ring.

Round 2:
- Increase in each or specific stitches to expand the circle.
For Round 3:
- Continue expanding the sole by increasing evenly in the round.
Body of the Sock (Switch to White Yarn)
Round 4:
- Join white yarn and crochet evenly around to start forming the sock body.
Rounds 5 to 10:
- Work one single crochet in each stitch around to build up the height of the sock.
Foot Section
Round 11:
- Begin shaping the foot by working stitches into specific parts of the round to form a more defined toe section.
Rounds 12 to 15:
- Repeat similar shaping stitches as Round 11 to complete the foot portion of the stocking.
Heel Shaping (Using White and Pink Yarn)
- Use a combination of white and pink yarn to form the heel.
Heel Rounds:
- Decrease or shape over 3 rounds to curve the heel.
- Follow the video’s shaping guidance for accuracy in stitch placement and color changes.
Finishing
- Use a yarn needle to weave in all remaining yarn ends securely.
- Ensure the heel is properly closed and the edges are neat.
Flower Decoration
Making the Flower
- Use pink yarn to crochet a small flower separately.
This can be a simple 5-petal flower:
- Work into a magic ring: (sc, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) five times to form petals.
Fasten off and weave in the end.
Attaching the Flower
- Sew the flower onto the side of the stocking.
