KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF
Considered by some to be a boring part of the Christmas world, the humble stocking and the things that commonly fill it, a satsuma, chocolate, and socks, are often under-utilised and under-appreciated. The size-constraints of filling a stocking can provide an interesting challenge, and the things thought to be boring, like socks, can be an opportunity to gift someone warmth and love. A handmade stocking and pair of socks, as detailed in the pattern below, can be a way to transform this aspect of Christmas into a favourite part.
