Our Christmas Bears stocking is worked in embroidered needlepoint with a bear. Needlepoint stitching with embroidered detail worked over the top, which is where the surface picks up its dimension.
Hang it from the mantel, a stair rail, or a bedpost. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
A navy needlepoint ground fills with a troop of teddy bears dressed as toy soldiers, the tallest in a plumed busby and white tunic, marching over a green lawn scattered with wrapped presents, all under a plush red cuff with matching maroon piping. Nursery-friendly and still formal enough for a traditional mantel.

Needlepoint worked stitch by stitch with embroidered detail added over it, which is why the face carries two different textures. Seasonal designs are made in limited runs: once a Christmas design sells through it is usually gone until next year. A wonderful gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households.
