CHRISTMAS SOCKS
We start with white color
1. 6hdc into MR
2. 6hdc inc = 12 sl st, ch
3. (hdc, hdc inc)*6 = 18 sl st, ch
With red color
4-7. 18hdc (4 rows) = 18 sl st, ch
We do not cut the red yarn, we will continue to knit later.
HEEL
With white color
Let’s add the yarn to the 4th loop of the 7th row and continue.
1. 12hdc, ch back
2. 12hdc, ch back
3. 12hdc, ch back
Let’s knit 6slst on opposite sides, pull ch, cut the yarn and turn the heel over.
We continue to knit with red yarn.
8. 3hdc, (to the corner) 1hdc inc, (to the heel) 8hdc, (to the corner) 1hdc inc, 3hdc = 18 slst, ch
9-13. 18hdc (5 rows) = 18 slst, ch
With white color
14. 13hdc, (15ch, sl st), 5hdc = 18 slst, ch
15. FLO [(4hdc, hdc inc, 8hdc, hdc inc, 4hdc)] = 20 slst, ch
16. 20hdc in reverse direction = 20
Cut the yarn a litter longer.
We sew the bell where the yarn ends.
