As mentioned before, I loved the idea of incorporating the motif from Elise's first Christmas outfit into her stocking. Since I never found an exact stocking I wanted to make, this was the perfect solution. After I originally posted about possible stocking options, I did stumble upon another great stocking. Enter the Falling Snow Stocking by Jennifer Hoel.
Turns out,

I used elements from the Falling Snow Stocking, along with inspiration from her 1st Christmas sweater dress to create a stocking that will (hopefully) be with her for a lifetime.
It's a bit more flashy than our stockings, but that's ok. I figure they don't have to match. And, when we have more to add, we can have a whole eclectic collection of handknit stockings.
Yarn: Cascade 220, Cream and Red (about .7 skeins of each)

Wow, that stocking is perfect! And I love all 3 of them hanging together. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stocking! I love that you took inspiration from Elise's first Christmas outfit for her stocking. I'm all curious about your big news now, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI love it...definitely beats any of the stocking ideas from the previous post
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely stocking and love the red and white patern work.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The Falling Snow stocking is one of the first patterns I ever added to my ravelry queue, but I've not yet made it. I love the creamy white and deep red you chose.
ReplyDeleteSUPER cute! I'm jealous of your knitting capabilities and speed! It would take me months to do that!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! What a great way to remember Elise's first Christmas dress.
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful, my 31 year old daughter is still hanging her 32 year old stocking, that was sewn from felt. It has thin spots but still does the trick.
ReplyDeleteoh my! That is exactly what I had pictured. I'm so glad you took my suggestion and used the colors and motif from he
ReplyDeleter sweater. I absolutely love it! And she will treasure it forever!

ReplyDeleteits so cut and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteOh IU love them, and I love that they don't match (but they still co-ordinate) :)
ReplyDeleteOops that should be I.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Now I'm inspired to make one myself. Too bad there is only 1.5 weeks left to Christmas and I still have a bunch of gifts to make...next year maybe!
ReplyDeleteit's a gorgeous stocking!! And I love how the three of your stockings look hung together, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe stocking is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the way you incorporated the motif from the sweater--what a cute idea. You can show her pictures, years and years down the road, and say, "Look, there's the dress that gave me the idea."
ReplyDeleteHey, I love the Elise stocking! It's exactly what I've been wanting to make for my daughter. Would you be willing to provide more information about your pattern? Also, where did you get the pattern for the letters? Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI just found these 3 stockings on Pinterest. They are so pretty and simple and old fashioned looking. Is the pattern available? And what colors of yarn did you use and what kind of yarn? Thank you
ReplyDeletePlease could you let me know if the pattern for the deer stocking is available?
