Default Christmas Stockings

A short 60 years ago my mother started knitting Christmas stockings. It "grew like Topsey" and she knit for the extended family and husbands and Grands. She started in wool but switched sometime to acrylic as the white wool deteriorated too quickly. I still have my original, yellowed but preserved. (And the name on my husbands' stocking has been changed ...twice. LOL ).
But I realized a short while age, my DSD and her husband (who are more frequent visitors than my two unmarried sons, didn't have stockings. I didn't have the pattern to knit one, ( my niece has it) so I stitched cloth, quilted stockings. So now, for now, the scene is complete.
