Super Simple Slightly Smaller Stocking
Materials: Size 7 or 8 or 9 straight knitting needles (I knit tightly, so I used a size 9 needle) Worsted weight yarn in two colors--this stocking is started at the bottom, so you will want a main color and then a contrasting color for the top inch or so. Cast on 18 st. (Main Color) Row1:P Row 2: Increase in each stitch: [KFB] X 18 (36 st) Row3:P Row 4: K Row5:P Row 6: K Row 7: P Row 8: K10, [K2TOG] X 8, K10 (28 st) Row9:P Row 10: K10, [K2TOG] X 4, K10 (24 st) Row 11:P Row 12: K10, [K2TOG] x 2, K10 (22 st) Row13:P Row 14: K Row 15: P Row 16: K Row 17: P Change colors (White or other contrasting color) Rows 18 to 23: Knit 6 rows binding off on last row. Finishing: Seam side and bottom. Weave in ends. Optional: Attach a short length of yarn at top of seam for a hanger. If you are new to knitting, KFB means knit in the front and the back of the stitch. This is an increase of 1 stitch.
