Merry Christmas, Friends!
Here is the pattern I promised for the Mini Stocking ornament. Enjoy!
You will need:
Fluffy white novelty yarn, preferably thin with slubs and fur
Fingering weight yarn (I LOVE Knit Picks Palette)
Size 2 dpn's
Needle for weaving in ends
Crochet hook for hang loop
Place marker
With fluffy novelty yarn, CO 20 sts (7, 7, 6 on the dpn's). Place marker. Work 3 rnds.
Cut yarn and start with fingering wt yarn, leaving a good 10 " tail. Work 15 rows. Divide sts like this - heel flap - 10 sts on one needle (take the five before marker and the five after marker, this will center the tail to make your loop later), 5 each on the other two needles.
Work the heel flap as follows: You should be at the end of your 10 sts, so p back. Turn. sl1, k1 to the end. P back. Do this 5 times.
Turn heel:
K6, k2 tog, k1, turn.
P till 4 sts left, p2 tog, p1, turn.
K till 2 sts left, k2 tog, turn.
P till 2 sts left, p2 tog, turn.
K across. There should be 6 sts on your needle.
Gusset:
With same needle (needle 1), pick up 5 sts along flap. With new needle (needle 2), knit across the next two needles, for a total of 10 sts on the 2nd needle. With third needle (needle 3) , pick up 5 sts along the other side of the flap, then three off the first needle. This will leave you with 8 sts on the 1st and 3rd needles, 10 on the 2nd one.
Rnd 1: Needle 1 - k till 3 sts left, k2 tog, k1, Needle 2 - knit across, Needle 3 - k1, ssk, k o the end.
Rnd 2: k across
Repeat 2 more times, you should have 5 sts on needle 1 and 3, and 10 on needle 2.
Knit 8 rnds.
Toe:
Rnd 1: on needle 1, k til 3 sts left, k2 tog. Needle 2, k1, ssk, k till 3 sts remain, k2 tog, k1. Needle 3, k1 ssk, k to the end.
Rnd 2: knit around
Repeat 2 more times till 8 sts total remain. Break yarn and with large needle, thread through all the sts and pull tight. Turn work inside out and weave in ends.
With a crochet hook, take the tail of fingering wt yarn and do a crochet chain for 3-4 inches, affix it to the base, and weave all the ends in and voila, an ornament!
