Description
This cheerful checked Christmas stocking is covered in bright squares set on the diagonal, in red, blue, yellow, green, lilac and pink, topped with a plain green cuff. The checks have a soft, textured look, so the colours feel warm and rich rather than flat. From one corner of the cuff hang three round pompoms in green, pink and mustard on slim cords, and a mustard loop stands up beside them for hanging. The front measures 53cm one way and 48.2cm the other, and the stocking is 3.7cm deep, so there is plenty of room inside for a good haul of gifts.
It is made for Christmas, and it suits almost anywhere you would hang one. Hook it from the mantelpiece, hang it at the end of a bed for Christmas morning, tie it to a banister or a door handle, or set it beneath the tree with the presents. The mix of colours works as happily with traditional reds and greens as it does with a brighter, more playful scheme, so it fits in whatever the rest of your decorations look like. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, either on its own or filled with small treats before it is handed over.
The smooth green cuff makes a neat contrast with the textured checks beneath it, and the loop at the top lets the stocking hang straight from a hook, a nail or a ribbon without fuss. Because it is a decoration you will bring out year after year, a little care keeps it looking fresh: give it a gentle shake after use, keep it away from damp and direct heat, and store it loosely folded in a dry place so the pompoms hold their shape. For the happiest result, fill it with wrapped gifts, a clementine and a few sweets, and hang it where everyone will see it on Christmas Eve.
