Title: Xmas stocking, machine knit
Categories: None
Yield: 1 servings
1 md Set of knitting needles, I
Yarn: worsted yarn 1 skein red
smaller amounts in green and in white
1. With waste yarn, cast on 50 stitches. Knit 6 rows waste yarn. Change
to white yarn and knit 26 rows stockinette. Hang first row of white back
on needles (now you should have 2 stitches on each needle.) Knit 1 more row
white. Reset the row counter to 0 and change to red yarn in carriage. Knit
52 rows, decreasing 1 stitch on each end after rows 18, 26, 34, 42(42
stitches remain on needles).
2. After row 52, put 11 stitches on each side onto waste yarn. Reset row
counter to 0. Continuing with red yarn, knit 18 rows for instep of
stocking. Remove red yarn from carriage without cutting.
3. Thread carriage with green yarn for toe. With machine set to hold
stitches on needles in forward position, short row down to 6 center
stitches by placing 1 needle on carriage side in forward position at the
start of each row until 6 stitches remain. Now complete shaping by
returning 1 needle at a time to knit position on the side opposite the
carriage at the start of each row.
4. After toe has been completed, cut green yarn and rethread carriage with
red yarn. Reset row counter to 0 and knit 18 rows for underside of foot.
Cut red yarn, leaving enough length to weave heel to back of ankle.
5. Thread carriage with green and shape heel the same way you shaped the
toe. Remove stocking on at least 6 rows of contrast color scrap yarn.
Finishing: Seam hem and center back of stocking, making sure to catch the
2 open stitches from scrap yarn above instep. Weave heel to stocking and
seam sides of foot. Make sure you remove all waste yarn when your done.
You can use duplicate stitch to embroider name of to stocking. I haven't
tried this one by hand but it could be done by hand for you hand knitters
by using stitch holders in step 2.
