Lynne's Little Stocking
Please direct any questions to the list or
email Lynne.
Here is a little Christmas stocking I have just finished drawing up for your
pleasure. I plan on making a set of 2 for each of my children to hang on
the tree.
You can decorate these anyway you like, or even CQ them. Below are the
instructions for how I will be making mine.
To make 1 stocking, cut 2 shapes out of felt. Draw an appealing cuff
shape and cut 1 from contrast felt, or add a fur top. If making a felt
shape for the cuff, pin on one shape and blanket stitch in place using perle 5
cotton (I use #928). Decorate your stocking if desired.
Place the 2 shapes together and blanket stitch around the entire edge.
If you blanket stitch the tops separate, you can place small treats or gifts
inside.
Add jingle bells if desired, and crochet or braid a length of perle 5
thread to join the 2 stockings together or make a loop if only making one.
I hope you enjoy this quick and easy project...something for the kids maybe,
to keep them busy!
