Our Christmas Tree Chinoiserie stocking is hooked in wool featuring a Christmas tree and a chinoiserie pattern. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
One for every name on the mantel. Order a set and they hang as a family. Hang a row of different designs and the mantel looks collected rather than bought as a set.
Ivory hooked wool keeps the background quiet so the soft sage tree can take over. A pink bow at the top, pale pink ornaments dotted through it, and the whole thing planted in a blue-and-white chinoiserie jardiniere. Grandmillennial through and through, and easy beside blue-and-white porcelain already on the shelf.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. 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. Makes a good gift for gardeners, flower people, and anyone who keeps fresh stems on the table.
