Traditional Christmas Stocking

My mother made our Christmas stockings when we were little.  She crocheted them without following a pattern, and it is the style I have grown to love.  I wanted to re-create them for my family, but with a few changes to make them my own.  This is the pattern I came up with to make ours, and I love them!  I hate having to finish a project after I'm done crocheting, so I tried to design this will as little extra work as possible.  I haven't gotten around to my names yet, but you can easily sew them on after!   I hope you enjoy the pattern too! You will need: Less than a skein of your main color (I used green ) Less than a skein of your cuff color (I used white ) Crochet hook size N Pattern: Chain 19 Row 1: Single in 4th chain from hook until the end, then continue around the other side, then slip stitch to join.  Row 2-4: Chain 2, single in previous singles to end of row, slip stitch to join.  ...
