Christmas Stocking Pattern for the Knifty Knitter Red Round Loom

This pattern makes a large Christmas stocking to hold plenty of toys from Santa.

What you will need:

• Red Round Knifty Knitter Loom
• Red Yarn
• Dark Green Yarn

1. Using 2 strands of red yarn as if they are one, ewrap all pegs on the red loom twice.
2. Knit a row.
3. Ewrap one more row and knit. Continue until the knit reaches 6.5 inches.
4. Pull the first row of knit up through the inside of the loom and place it on the pegs. Knit. (This creates a cuff on the top of the stocking.
5. Change the yarn color to 2 strands of green. Knit 29 rows, or approximately 8 inches.
6. The next few steps will create the heel of the stocking. Change the yarn color back to 2 strands of red. Wrap to the 15th peg. Knit. Wrap back to peg 1. Knit.
7. Remove the loops from peg 1 and 2. Pull 2 through 1. Place the loop back on peg 2.
   Remove the loops from peg 14 and 15. Pull 15 through 14. Place the loop back on peg 14.
8. Ewrap the heel pegs and knit.
9. Continue to decrease the width of the knit by pulling the loops at the edge of the knit through the previous loop before knitting. (Loop 2 through 3, and loop 13 through 14.) When you've done this 3 times, you will have 3 empty pegs on each side.
10. With the remaining 9 pegs, knit four rows.
11. Now, you'll begin to add stitches, or increase stitch. Each time you knit to the end of a row, add a stitch to an empty peg. When you've done this six times, all the empty pegs will be filled. 
12. Using the green yarn, knit 27 more full rounds. 
13. Change to the red yarn and knit 10 rows. This is the toe of the stocking.
14. Run the working yarn through all the loops on the loom to remove them one by one. Pull the working yarn tight to cinch closed the toe of the stocking. Tie off the yarn.
15. Turn the stocking inside out and use the remaining yarn to stitch the two sides of the heel closed.
