Hooked in wool, the Chinoiserie Nutcracker Christmas stocking carries a nutcracker and a chinoiserie pattern. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
The nutcracker comes in porcelain blues here. A cobalt and powder-blue coat, white curls and a black mustache, a gold-ribboned red gift at his side, all on a cream hooked ground inside a cobalt fret border. Chinoiserie discipline applied to the most theatrical character on the mantel.

The hooked face is built loop by loop in wool, so the color shifts slightly as the light moves across it. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. A wonderful gift for a gardener, a new house, or a spring birthday.
