[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fwd: Annette's knitted little Christmasstocking

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Here  is the pattern for my version of the little stocking ornament.  I  
hope 
it  makes sense.  I'm also providing the link to the original  pattern. 
Annette's Little Christmas Stocking 
Original pattern can be found at URL:

I  have used both size 8 and 6 needles for this project.  It just depends  
on 
the  yarn, and the size I want the finished stocking to be. 
With  white, cast on 21 stitches, leaving a 36 inch tail to be used later  
to 
stitch up the cuff and make a loop for  hanging. 
Rows  1 - 5 Knit the odd rows and pearl the even rows. 
Row  6 Knit 
Row  7 Pearl 
Change to red 
Rows  8 - 21 Knit the even rows and pearl the Odd rows. 
Row  22 Knit 14, ignore remaining 7 stitches. 
Row  23 Pearl 7, ignore remaining 7 stitches. 
Rows  24 - 31 Continue working these same 7 stitches by knitting the even 
rows  and pearl the odd rows. 
Row  32 Knit these same 7 stitches, pick up 4 stitches with left needle,  
knit 
these new stitches, knit the remaining 7 stitches on the  left needle that 
you  have been ignoring.  (note If necessary, adjust the number of  
stitches 
you  pick up as needed.) 
Row  33 Pearl 25, pick up 4 stitches with left needle and pearl, pearl 
remaining 7 stitches.  (Note:  you might need  to adjust the number of 
stitches you pick.  Try to keep it with in one  stitch of what you pickup 
on 
the  other side.) 
Rows  34 - 37 Knit the even rows and pearl the odd rows. 
Bind  off. 
Leave a tail long enough to stitch up the bottom of the  stocking. 
Fold  work so that the right side is facing inside. 
Stitch up the bottom of the stocking. 
Stitch up the back of the leg with red just  below  the ridge where the 
white 
cuff  starts. 
Turn  the stocking right side out. 
Finish sewing up the cuff with white by starting at the  top and working 
down 
the  cuff toward the leg of the stocking. 
Draw  the remaining length of white yarn through to the inside of the 
stocking where the ridge is. 
Fold  down the cuff. 
With  a crochet hook draw up a loop at the top of the cuff and begin making 
chain stitches.   
Continue chaining for approximately 3 inches. 
Use  a slip stitch to connect the last chain stitch to the top of the 
stocking to form a loop. 
Pull  your tail through the loop, secure all ends, weave in ends, and trim 
ends  as needed. 
Note:  you can increase or decrease the numbers of  rows you do for the 
cuff, 
the  leg and the side/bottom of the foot as you desire.  You can do  the 
complete project with a knit stitch for a different  look.
