Discounted Design Works Crafts Christmas Felt Applique Kits Christmas Stocking Making

Christmas stocking kits come in two styles, and which you pick changes the finished look more than the difficulty does.

Counted cross stitch stockings are worked on aida fabric from a chart - most kits include the aida, stranded cottons, backing fabric, a needle, the chart and instructions, so the stocking is ready to sew up when the stitching is done. Felt appliqué stockings from Design Works Crafts are cut-and-sew rather than counted: the kit supplies coloured felt, sequins, beads, ribbon, cotton thread, a pattern, needle and instructions, and the pieces are stitched onto the stocking shape. Felt kits suit anyone who wants a fast, bold result; cross stitch suits stitchers who enjoy the detail.

Several designs include an alphabet chart so you can add a name across the cuff - the detail is listed on each product page. Sizes vary by design and are given individually.

These are kits to make, not finished stockings.
