A wool needlepoint stocking featuring Santa: the Christmas Santa design. It is the same tent stitch used for canvas work that gets passed down a generation at a time.
Sized to hang on the mantel and actually hold gifts, not just decorate. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
Santa's face fills most of a violet needlepoint ground, snowy beard and holly-trimmed cap above a brown toy sack and a blue mitten. Cream scrollwork borders it, with a red cuff on top. The unexpected purple makes a familiar portrait feel less predictable.

Worked in wool with the even tension and clean finish that good needlepoint is judged on. 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 thoughtful gift for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December.
