Okay, I guess I had a blind moment! I assumed that the yarn I used was a sport weight. However, it was TLC Amore worsted weight that I used for the red. I hope this doesn't mess any of you up! I do think that sport weight yarn would work just as well.

[pinsandneedles]

That is darling! I must make one!!!!!!!!

[Becky Morgan]

Thank you! Those are cute.

 

By the way, my feet were warm the other night because I made some of your booties with a couple of strands of worsted and a big hook

[brendaKbrown]

Hi Becky, I am glad to hear that the booties can be made for adults! That is great!

[Becky Morgan]

I knew it would work with knitted ones, but crocheted works faster Baby feet are just shorter and wider than big people feet, so if you throw in a little more foot it's all good.

BrendaKBrown-I'm glad to see you back here! I've only been a member since September, but before I joined, I used to come and look at all the lovely patterns. I didn't know it was a forum that I could join until my brother told me. You always had wonderful patterns here, and I haven't seen your name in a long while. I was worried about you. I hope you've been okay. You are such an inspiration for me.

This pattern sounds adorable. I'm going to try to make some for Christmas for each of my little grandsons. And put candy canes and little candies in them. They will love them!

Many years ago I used to work in a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts with a girl named Brenda Brown. Neither of us liked the job, but we sure had fun working together.

Oh my! My head has just grown with all of the praise! I am doing fine, though gone a lot and preparing for our local Christmas House boutique. I am happy to say it is this weekend! I will be so glad to have this fund raiser behind me for another year! However, this little stocking came as a result of the boutique, so that's okay. My candy cane pouch that I posted here came from that project, too.

 

I was thinking about making this stocking bigger and adding candies, but an airline ticket for my sister to come home for christmas. I would send it early, of course. She wants so much to come home and I think this would make a great gift.

hello, my skills are somewhat between beginner and intermediate and my question is what does the nt stand for? i know the pattern reads single crochet in ? 8 single crochet. this is where i am stuck. any help would be appreciated.

thank you

very cute

[brendaKbrown]

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! The abbreviation "nt" stands for next. It isn't used as much anymore in print patterns, but I use it in y patterns out of habit. I help a friend with her brailling business and space is crutial. The word next is 4 letters while nt of course is only two. Well, braille is one uniform size, so we save space as much as possible!

Hi, I'm new to Crochetville and fairly new to crocheting. I was trying to make this cute stocking but was confused when I came to row 21 where it says:

"Row 21: Sc in first 10 sc, (sc nt 2 sc together) 4 times, sc in last 10 sc. Fasten off."

 

Specifically this part: (sc nt 2 sc together)

 

Could someone explain this row, please?

Thank you!
