Start crocheting with white yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR

Join red yarn, do not cut the white yarn!
4. 18 sc - in back loops only
5-8. 18 sc (4 rounds)
9. 14 sc - do not finish the round, so the previous color change stays at the bottom of the stocking

10. 8 sc - in back loops only
11-13. turn, 1 ch, 8 sc (3 rows)

Continue crocheting with red yarn. Start the round where the red yarn remains.

14. 9 sc along the white heel, 9 sc along the red stocking part (18)

20. 18 sc, sl st

Cut the yarn and secure it. Decorate as desired.
