A Christmas stocking to work in cross stitch, with a group of owls dressed for winter sitting among the fairy lights. There is room for a name along the top: the alphabet comes with the chart, so the stocking becomes a personalised gift for a child or for the whole family.
The kit holds everything needed to stitch and close the stocking, including the felt backing and the ribbon for the hanging loop; for the making up you will also want sewing thread, a needle and scissors, and a hoop or frame helps keep the Aida taut. The large-square chart and the pre-sorted threads make it an easy project even with little experience.
