Stockings are some of my favorite pieces to design. They carry a kind of sentimental weight that most canvases don't, something people stitch once and then hang year after year, so I love spending extra time on them. I stitched this sample for my mom, and it was one of those projects that felt personal from the first stitch to the last.

So many of you have asked about this design, so I wanted to put together a full stitch guide.
