Twenty-some years ago, my mom crocheted this awesome Santa stocking for me.
It has survived moves all across the globe and the country and still looks like it's new. I have always loved the stretchy nature of my stocking because it is capable of holding so many goodies! And waking up to feel the bumps and bulges in my stocking on Christmas morning is a memory I hold vividly in my mind.
Last year, we were blessed with our sweet Junebug and my mom, still having the original pattern, crocheted a fabulous stocking for our new little one.
Yeah, Junebug's real name is Elliott. Isn't the Christmas tree gorgeous? It is embellished with beads and a crystal button at the top. I love that it already looks vintage since it's made from a "vintage" pattern. It's such a keepsake and I look forward to stuffing this little stocking for years to come.
You just can't get stockings like these in a store!
T,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are getting great at your crocheting! They're beautiful!
Do you share the stocking patterns? We have the same stocking tradition in my family. However the cousin who has always been the knitter is no longer able to knit due to help reason. I am trying to carry the torch but I only crochet. I would love to have the pattern. My email is traciv66@hotmail.com
