Description
This mint green Christmas stocking puts Ariel at its heart, framed by a wreath of red, peach and cream flowers with fresh green leaves. With her flowing red hair and teal mermaid tail, she holds a golden shell in her hands, and a fine gold circle rings the whole scene. Above her, her name is printed in shiny gold capitals, ARIEL. The top of the stocking is cut into a princess crown, finished with a gold diamond, gold dots and two gold lines across its band. It measures 70cm tall and 37cm wide, and lies just 0.5cm deep when empty, so it hangs neatly flat until Christmas Eve.
A loop of orange cord at the top corner of the cuff lets it hang from a hook, a stocking holder on the mantelpiece, a bedroom door or the end of a bed. Its soft green and shiny gold sit as happily among red and green decorations as they do with a paler, lighter scheme, and the crown top gives it a playful outline that stands apart from plainer stockings by the fireplace. It is the kind of stocking a family brings out every December, ready to be filled on Christmas Eve and found bulging with small surprises in the morning.
The crown is a separate shaped panel stitched to the top of the stocking, with neat stitching following each point and curve, and the back is left plain green so it looks tidy from behind. Between seasons, fold it flat and store it somewhere dry, and hang it clear of an open fire or burning candles. Fill it with sweets and little gifts, or give it with a present tucked inside as a thoughtful Christmas gift in its own right.

How big is the Ariel stocking?
It measures 70cm tall and 37cm wide, and lies just 0.5cm deep when empty, so there is plenty of room for small gifts on Christmas Eve.
How does the stocking hang?
An orange cord loop at the top corner of the crown cuff slips over a hook, a mantelpiece stocking holder or a door handle.

The back is plain mint green with the crown shape carried through, so it still looks neat wherever it hangs, even when seen from behind.
