Ch 3, work 13 dc in 3rd ch from hook. Join with sl st to first dc. Yes the dc. This will hide the ch 3.
Fasten off and weave startting ends into back of circle but leave the finishing ends intact for sewing the circles together.

Using red yarn and a yarn needle, sew three circles together using 3 stitches on each circle to make a stretched out letter "L" with the finishing ends that were left unwoven. Sew the other 3 motifs together the opposite way so when you put them together to make a stocking, you will have the wrong sides facing each other when you are ready to sew them together.

Starting at the top, right side facing you, attach white yarn on the left side as close to top as possible to make a square corner.

Sc around the toe of the stocking to the heal of the stocking and repeat bet (). Sc in the next4 sts then repeat bet () again. Sc in the next 4 sts, ch 1, sc in same st as last sc then sc in the next 2 sts. Sl st in first sc to join. Fasten off. Do this to both sides.

Finishing

Random Quick Tip!

No Crochet Beaded Garland
Use colorful Christmas yarn and assorted beads to make a garland. No need to crochet for this one. You will need a needle with a large enough eye so that you can get the yarn through it and also small enough to go through the beads you want to use. Then to work the beads on so that they will stay on but not be all bunched together, cut your yarn so you have about 30 feet. The tie a bead on one end and put the needle on the other. Then string on another bead, but pass the needle through it twice the same way, then knot the yarn close to the bead so it will stay where you want it. then repeat this with as many beads as you can fit on your yarn. Make each bead about 3/4" to 1" apart. You can use a wide variety of beads this way and get a very beautiful effect depending on what you use for yarn. A metallic yarn with plain beads would be very pretty.
