The stocking is worked in the round on double point needles from the cuff down. The heel is formed using short rows. The loop is an I-Cord. Most of the stocking is worked from a chart. There are written directions for the picot edge, heel, toe and loop.

The stocking can be worked in one color or with a different color on the cuff and main stocking.
