Chinoiserie Ornaments: a Christmas stocking that carries ornaments and a chinoiserie pattern, hooked in wool. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
One for every name on the mantel. Order a set and they hang as a family. Name tags on the cuff and it becomes the same stocking every year.
Three oversized blue-and-white ornaments cluster with green pine and a scarlet bow across a cream hooked ground, held inside a cobalt fretwork border at cuff and toe. The one to hang when the tree is trimmed in ginger jars and the mantel needs to agree with it.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. A thoughtful gift for gardeners, flower people, and anyone who keeps fresh stems on the table, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
