Notes:
- This Christmas stocking crochet pattern is not worked as conventional sock but instead is designed to lay nicely when hung.
- For best results when working the fair isle section of the pattern, work in back loops only as noted. For color changes, change color on the last yarn over of the stitch. See my tutorial How to Seamlessly Change Colors in Crochet for photos and more detailed instructions.

Row 34,35 and 36 were repeated and did not make sense. I finally figured out that the last three rows should be numbered 48,49 and 50. Beautiful pattern though.
Which way are we suppose to follow the chart?
I followed it from left to right but it should work out fine from either way.
It’s a little confusing. I’m right handed, so I go right to left and I just wanted to know what to do.
