Construction

Lay your front panel and back panel of the stocking on top of each other with the toe pointed in the same direction and the front-facing wrong side out. (Cabled side should be facing down)

Using the 4mm hook and the yarn still attached from the stocking back create a slip stitch at the left corner, taking care to go through both panels.

Slip stitch down and around the entire stocking to seam the two pieces together. Tie off.

Cuff

Using the 8mm hook and the faux fur yarn, attach the yarn to the right “corner” at the top of your stocking opening.

Round 1- Ch 2, HDC in first st. * Sk 1 st, HDC in next. * Repeat around. Sl st to beginning Ch .

Round 2-4- Ch 2, HDC in each st around. Sl st to beginning Ch. Hanging Loop: Ch 6, Sl st to next st.
Tie off.
