The pictures above go in order of the rows or steps and might help you to see what it should look like.
Step 2: The Toe - Part 1
~This part can be a different color than the body of your stocking! It can be any color you would like or make your whole stocking the same! I chose White.
~Start with making a magic circle. Once you have made the magic circle, CH 1 and start with ROW 1.
ROW 1 - Make 8 HDC, join with SLIP ST to 1st HDC and CH 1
ROW 2 - Make 2 HDC into each ST, join with a SLIP ST and CH 1
ROW 3 - Into the first ST make 1 HDC, than make 2 HDC into the next ST. Repeat all the way around. Join with a SLIP ST and CH 1.
Step 3: The Toe - Part 2
~Keep continuing the toe
ROW 4 - Into the first 2 STs make 1 HDC, than make 2 HDC into the next ST Repeat all the way around. Join with a SLIP ST and CH 1.
ROW 5 - Into the first 3 STs make 1 HDC, than make 2 HDC into the next ST. Repeat all the way around. Join with a SLIP ST and CH 1.
ROW 6 - Into each ST, make 1 HDC.
On last ST, join with next color for the body of your stocking and CH 2. ( Again optional with the color you would want or stay the same color!)
Step 4: The Body - Part 1
~Now continue the rows for the body.
ROW 7 - With your new or the same color, make 1 DC into each ST all the way around. Join with a SLIP ST and CH 2. (Picture one)
~Before starting the next row, cut and tie off the string for the toe color. Sew it in with your yarn needle in now or at the end.
ROW 8 - Into the first ST make 1 DC, than make 1 FPDC into the next ST. Repeat all the way around. 694
Join with a SLIP ST and CH 2.
ROW 9 - Into the first ST make 1 FPDC, than make 1 DC into the next ST. Repeat all the way around. Join with a SLIP ST and CH 2.
~Repeat ROWS 8 &9 until you reach Row 17.
~When you finish row 17, leave the yarn for the rest body. DO NOT CUT! This is what I did if you want to do the same : place the rest of the yarn color for the body inside the stocking so it is out of the way for now. (See last picture)
Step 5: The Heel - Part 1
~To start the heel, connect new color or same (your choice) to the 11th ST of ROW 17 with a CH 1.
ROW 1 - Make 1 SC into that same ST as the CH 1 and continue 1 SC into each ST until you reach 20 STs across . CH 1 and turn.
ROW 2 - Join together the first 2 STs by making 1 SC and continue 1 SC into each ST until you reach the last 2 STs. Join together the last 2 STs with 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.
~Repeat ROW 2 for ROWS 3-8 until there are 6 STs left.
ROW 9 - Into the first ST, make 2 SC and continue 1 SC into each ST until you reach the last ST. Make 2 SC into the last ST. CH 1 and turn. In the pictures 6 and 7 you will see the row start to go over row 8. That's how you know you've got it!
~Repeat ROW 9 for ROWS 10-15 until there are 20 STs left.
Step 6: The Heel - Part 2
~Before you cut the yarn and tie off, leave about a 10" tail.
~Fold the flap inside out so its on the outside of the stocking. 694
