We were visiting our good friend Pete last winter, and I commented on his Christmas Stocking, an adorable crocheted stocking, that I believe he said that his Grandmother made when he was a baby... She also made one for his first son, but passed away before his second son was born, so Pete and Connor have these wonderful matching stockings, but Coen didn't... He told us that he had called several people he found online, but it was going to cost a small fortune (like $100+) to have one made to match... NOT SO :) said I... I told him to give me his stocking to use as sort-of a pattern, and I would make one that would at least come close :) So, $6 in yarn later...
Here's Pete's original stocking...
And... Here's the matching one I made for Coen
And here they are together :)
Mike's bringing them to Pete today at work :) I hope he likes it!! It was a fun project, and honestly took hardly any time at all to copy!!!!
That was such a sweet thing to do! Your stocking is a perfect match, too!
