European Ornamental Holiday Stocking

A tiny stocking in tomato red and marigold, trimmed with a golden fringe.

This is an ornamental holiday stocking in suzani fabric. Reusing a textile in a smaller form is a long-standing craft practice, and a stocking shows off a section of the cloth's pattern. A small stocking shape with a twisted cord loop for hanging. Bold red and orange appliqued shapes sit on a golden-yellow ground, and a deep tasseled fringe with braided trim covers the cuff. The heel and toe are rounded and softly padded. It is 4 inches wide and 6 long.

Santa would need a very small present for it.
