St: stitch

Notes
This pattern is worked in one piece from the toe up. It will be worked in sections: Toe, Arch, Heel, Ankle, Cuff, and Loop. The Toe, Arch, Ankle, and Cuff are worked in the round with a slip st into the first st of the rnd. The Heel is worked back and forth in rows and then seamed.
The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
Every stitch in Arch and the Ankle sections is a single crochet. The directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many scs to make.
In the example, the inactive yarn is carried behind the active. If this is confusing, you might want to check out the helpful Moogly video on tapestry.
Color A is cream (Red Heart Yarns Soft Essentials in Cream) 3.3 oz/ 87 yds and color B is teal (Bernat Velvet in Pagoda) 4.9 oz/ 147 yds.
