Materials Needed:

Medium size yarn (Look for a 4 on the label)
Crochet hook size F (3.75 mm)
Scissors
Buttons (optional for decoration)
Needle and thread (optional for sewing buttons)

Pattern Instructions:

Starting the Toe:

Create a Loop on the Hook:

Swing the yarn around, cross over, go under and over, and pull it tight.

Chain Two Stitches:

This creates the starting point.

Make 9 Single Crochets in Last Chain:

Insert 9 single crochets into the last loop made from the chain to form a circle.

Working on the Body:

First Round Increase:

Insert two single crochets into each stitch around until you have 18 stitches.

Second Round Increase:

Follow the pattern of two single crochets in the first stitch, then one single crochet in the next stitch around until you have 27 stitches.

Subsequent Rounds:

Continue with one single crochet in each stitch until 6 rounds are complete. This is where the shape of the toe is formed.

Switch to Body Color (Optional):

Change Yarn (if desired):

Switch to a different color yarn to begin the body of the stocking. Continue crocheting in rounds using one single crochet in each stitch until you complete 15 rounds.

Forming the Heel:

Start the Heel:

Begin adding a new color, crocheting 14 single crochets across one side of the circle.

Create 6 Rows of Back-Loop-Only Stitches:

These rows create the ribbed texture of the heel.

Closing the Heel:

Fold the Heel:

Fold the heel part and use slip stitches to join the sides together.

Secure and Trim Ends:

Secure the stitch and trim any extra yarn inside.

Creating the Upper Section:

Attach the Main Body Color Again:

Continue using single crochets to build the upper part of the stocking. Make around 17 rounds or until the desired length.

Chain and Join to Form a Loop:

If adding a hanging loop, chain 30 and work slip stitches back along the chain to thicken it, then attach it securely to the back of the stocking.

Finishing Touches:

Top Cuff:

Create a separate piece by chaining and turning, working back-loop-only single crochets, and join to form a band. Attach this to the top of the stocking.
